To think many women expect emotional perfection from men but don’t offer the same?

I support high standards.
I support emotional maturity.

But AIBU to think some women now expect men to be therapists, mind-readers, emotionally fluent, endlessly available - while offering very little emotional stability themselves?

We say “I deserve more” but rarely ask “what do I give?”

The majority of posters on here are incredibly dismissive of the feelings of their male relatives, partners and husbands.
