Feminization

So I'm in my office and this guy starts fussing with his girlfriend (both have come to attend class). My supervisor pulls him into my office and is trying to delve into the issue. From where I stand his girlfriend is the antagonist. She initiated the disagreement and got mad when he responded with a similar comment to hers. He asked why they were fussing about two other people. She stayed angry...confusion reigned from there. So my boss is basically asking what's his problem. He says- "she disrespected me by calling me a bitch, I never called her out of her name." He indicates that she fusses with him alot and he tries to avoid it. He also says they are getting to old to continue in such a manner. My boss says, "Well perhaps you could keep something handy, like some roses or something." I chime in like yo, that's a bribe, your telling him to bribe her. Basically I don't understand the mindstate that some women try to put men in by saying- just make her happy. Especially if the woman in question caused the drama. I consider this like having a child that is kirking out on you and you just do something to appease them. I refuse to just placate someone. I never went for that the-guy-must-be-wrong-just-apologize-and-move-on. I want to work stuff out and agree or not. I can't stand when people say just apologize. I'm not here to make people feel right or good, I'm here to do what's right and/or good. Plus it's a woman telling this to a young guy. When she asked my opinion I ruined the whole thing cause I was on his side. Why is the world trying to feminize men? What is the value in making men other than they are? I think there is a reason that the genders are different and we benefit from those differences. Anyway I wouldn't be interested in someone who is just like me. What would I learn? Let men be men and women be women. At the same time let logic be logic. I remember when this girl left me and I was talking about it with some sisters and they suggested that I had not spent enough time with her. My response was If I'm not with her, we (me and her) are together with our friends and the rest of the time I'm at work. I realized that I wasn't spending any time by myself at the time. Their suggestion was that I should make more time for her. HUH? 1/3 with her, 1/3 with her and friends, 1/3 at work. None of these women suggested that maybe she was needy. I know that all women don't JUST back up other women but it's programmed in enough that dudes want to give you similar advice. BTW I'm not one of those dudes who will ever sleep on the couch cause the wife is mad. We either make up or sleep together mad. If you're too mad to be around me...the couch is always open.
