HenryMakow.com – June 10, 2025

YouTube is full of videos of women complaining that men are no longer

 interested in forming relationships.“Men are no longer obsessed with women,” they complain.

Heterosexuality is based on the exchange of female worldly power for male protection & love.

Most men love a woman because she sacrifices power. She trusts his leadership.

Feminism has taught women to seek power instead of love, and compete with men. This has effectively neutered them. Power = penis.

(Feminism is a Communist depopulation program aimed at undermining marriage and the family.)

Feminism taught men to seek a woman’s approval above his own (i.e. transference, idealizing a woman instead of obeying his best Self.)

(Disclaimer – This template has worked for centuries. That’s why the usual suspects are trying to destroy it.)

   Possession is the Essence of Marriage

(Updated from Dec. 2009 and April 1, 2018)

by Henry Makow Ph.D.

My wife recently asked me why I loved her.

Rather than enumerate her good qualities, I answered honestly: “Because you are submissive.”

At the risk of being politically incorrect,  many men do not seek strong independent women. They do not seek great beauty, brains or sex, but the simple feeling of “possessing” a woman. In other words, what they seek is a degree of ownership or power. This is part of masculine identity.

And many women have the complementary desire, to be possessed, to totally “belong” to their husband.  

In a blog post, Joseph William, in his thirties, claims he has slept with 100 women and nearly all of them wanted to be dominated in bed.  They wanted the man to take charge. This has a general application.  Women need men to take the initiative. They acquiesce or reject.

The essence of heterosexuality is the exchange of female power for male power expressed as love. This is the heterosexual contract. If a woman is not submissive or a man unloving, the contract has been broken, and they must consider separation. 

When a woman surrenders to her husband, she gives him the power to grant her wishes, or not. He does not exploit, control or dominate. He respects her individuality and freedom.

He wants her to want to be his. He consults and nurtures.  He makes the final decision.

Every family needs a head. A creature with two heads is a monster.

INTIMACY
