A woman understands the importance of giving up control and lowering her resistance to follow freely and going with the flow. Just like in dance (latin or ballroom), it becomes frustrating when she refuses to yield to directions, while complete harmony ensues when she adopts his decisions.
I felt nauseous after reading your first point. This is a blatant example of how an article like Steve's promotes sexism.

Tamas is creating criteria for feminity (submissive, obedient, emotionally expressive blah blah blah), just as Steve created criteria for masculinity (dominant, confdent, emotionlly controlled blah blah blah). This has negative effects on indivduals who don't conform to the stereotypes - whilst reinforcing socially conditioned prejudices.
