What's ignorant? (No, seriously, outside of my general stance, what have I said that is ignorant? This is not a rhetorical question.) Men and women have very unique body/brain chemistry when compared to one another, hence the roles they fill in a family.
Of course I don't think I am superior to you, I don't think I can be as loving to a newborn child as you can be. However, I'm more capable of disciplining the child as they grow up, in a reasonable manner, without letting my emotions get in the way of what is best for the child.
Do you appreciate a male's role in a relationship? Or do you blame men for every societal wrong up until this point?
I love women, and have always been a ho's before bro's sort of dude. I cannot connect with men on a mental level the same way I can with women. Friendships between males are driven by rivalry.

I think a successful relationship is one based on friendship which, inherently, has a system of accountability that is conducive to equality and respect. I think the high failure rate of marriages is a symptom of our culture as we have placed an increasing emphasis on beauty and money while neglecting the importance of compatibility and love.
I respect my wife, so I consult with her on large purchases, as she does me.
She respects me for my heart, my mind, and my abilities, not because 'ME MAN ME BOSS'
Quit telling yourself you respect your woman when you obviously think she's beneath you. If you didn't think that, you wouldn't be making excuses to explain why you need to be in charge.
There is no true partnership without equality.
Someone is either equal, or not. 'Separate but equal' has been used before, and it was bullshit then too.

damn it must take me too long to reply to this hot thread.
Stop talking now.
It was a fun debate right up until that statement. Now it's ridiculous.

Is this directed at me? I'll assume it is because I was the one asked if I return my girlfriend's respect.
So here it goes: Who do you think you are to tell me what I think about my girlfriend? I'm not going to make accusations about you and your relationships, so how about you nose-the-fuck-out-of-it, then?
I respect my girlfriend enough to calmly explain to her when she is being irrational. She gave me a big heaping thanks after we cleared the first few weeks of birth-control hysteria, too.
Relationships work best as a team, yes, but just like any "Team" in the military, someone has to have the ultimate say.
EDIT: Nitetiger, I will not stop talking simply because of some taboo. How about you address what I'm saying, rather than trying to convince me to stop saying it?

Dude, you brought your shit here and laid it out for us to smell. Why you now act like we shouldn't be allowed to call it stanky. Free speech and all that.

and then that whole marriage thing...
where people compromise....and live together because they can do so...
oh how different we all are here..!
she does not wear the pants
he doesn't either
he doesn't either
If I didn't respect my girlfriend, I would feel no social obligation to say I respected her, do you understand that? I'm obviously not conforming to the status quo on this one, so why would I care what you think? I just think it's ridiculous that you can't use reason on this one, so you felt the need to attack me and my (rather fucking happy) relationship.
Edit: Nitetiger, now I see that you were probably addressing Get Mo, my bad.

Yep, I can't believe some of us don't run our lives like the military would.
No, I love men.....and that clarification made more sense. Initially it sounded like women were a step below men.
I don't think either man or woman is any more capable of raising children or disciplining them, but to each her own.
As far as a man having ultimate say.....I'd rather keep my spine and my dignity. Maybe if I were on prozac or some strong barbituate....maybe would I be okay with a totalitarian relationship.
This thread is a joke.
