Exactly what the title says. I feel like every day I see more and more posts online about women applauding their male partners for what would be considered either common decency or bare minimum in any other situation. I also experience this with my friends who date men. They'll tell me how happy and grateful they are to have a fantastic partner and when they elaborate it's always something simple like:

"He listens and remembers the things I say."
"He asks how my day has been."
"He cooked for me and cleaned the dishes after."
"He tidied up around the house without me asking."
"He responds to my texts."
"He gets to my place at the time he said he'd be here."
"He saved half of the takeout for me to have tomorrow."

not to mention the crazier ones
"I was tired and didn't want to have s*x and he didn't pressure me."
"He actually makes me finish."
"We were cuddling and he didn't try and turn it into more."

They have gotten to the point where anything that's above having to emotionally and generally raise their male partner is worthy of praise.

Like yes these are good things, but they are all just common decency.

Has anyone else had the experience of knowing when a man is walking around or near you just by smell alone? I'm not even talking about an unclean smell or a bad smell. It's almost like a shift in energy and you can smell it. It just smells heavy.

A species evolves in order to procreate and generate viable offspring that will then procreate, so on and so forth. The only role the male plays in this reproductive cycle is providing the sperm. The Y chromosome holds significantly less genetic material than the X chromosome. The woman is the one who gestates the fetus, births it, and then nurtures and feeds it until it's able to care for itself.

Males felt themselves less important in the reproductive cycle especially since bloodlines can only truly be traced through the X chromosome. They decided to flip the tables (to put it as plainly as possible) and create a system where they are on top.
