A great article!

A quick comment about the man who thought he was doing all the right things, and got accused anyway.

As they say - "We've seen it all before".

I well recall the 1980s and 1990s when men were taught to be "sensitive", to be attentive to their wife's "needs" and so on. Another lesson given to young married men was "to keep the romance alive".

I, like most men of my generation, dutifully did as we were instructed. When we attended "counselling" we listened to our wives complain about us, and resolved to do better.

By the mid 1990s the term SNAG, for "Sensitive New Age Guy" had been invented to mock us. It turned out that women didn't want a "SNAG" after all.

Whatever we did, it wasn't enough. Some wives left us for earthier men, and the wives of earthy men left them for more "sensitive" men. And whichever way it was, the law was on their side and the man got wiped out.
