For decades we’ve shamed men out of having any gender expectations for women. But do women get to have their cake and eat it, too?

By: Lisa Britton

Published: May 3, 2026

For decades we’ve shamed men out of having any gender expectations for women. But do women get to have their cake and eat it, too?

I recently came across an article from The Economist about the so-called “Passport Bros”—Western men who are increasingly looking overseas for wives. The trend isn’t new, but the numbers are rising. These men are fed up with what they see as a mismatch in values at home. They want partners who embrace more traditional roles: women who value homemaking, loyalty, and complementary partnership over corporate ambition and constant negotiation over who wears the pants in their relationships. The overall discussion labeled these men “bad,” accused them of reinforcing damaging stereotypes, and warned that their choices “flatten relationships into roles” and “sell them back as aspiration”. In other words, men daring to have preferences about the kind of woman they want to marry is framed as a threat to progress.

For decades we’ve told men that traditional expectations for women like nurturing, supportive, and family-first, are outdated, sexist, and even harmful. We’ve shamed them out of voicing those desires. Yet somehow, the reverse conversation never happens. Women’s expectations for men? Those remain stubbornly traditional, and almost no one in the mainstream calls it out.

I was reminded of this the other day when a woman I know was chatting with me, misunderstanding my messaging when it comes to my advocacy work for boys and men. She’s progressive, successful in her work, and quick to share memes about female empowerment. “Lisa,” she said, “I’ll be honest—I want a real man. The masculine, protector type. The one who provides, who makes me feel safe, who treats me like a queen. Where have all the real men gone? We need to bring them back, right?” She expected me to nod along in solidarity. Instead, I stared at her, trying to find the right way to ask the question no one seems willing to ask: “Okay, but what are you offering him in return? Are you willing to step into a more traditional feminine role? To prioritize home and family like you want him to prioritize providing and protecting you?”

She blinked. The conversation shifted quickly to how that would be “well, sexist” and “limiting.” Suddenly the woman who wanted a traditional man was defending her right to a modern, independent life. It was a perfect microcosm of the hypocrisy I see everywhere.

The data backs this up, even if mainstream outlets rarely highlight it. Studies show that while women have flooded colleges and workplaces, their mate preferences have barely budged. Women, especially educated ones, still overwhelmingly prefer men who are at least as educated and financially successful as they are—or more so. They want emotional strength, financial stability, and physical protection. “Marriageable men” shortages are talked about constantly, yet the criteria for what makes a man “marriageable” remain rooted in old-school provider expectations. Meanwhile, men who voice parallel desires for feminine, family-oriented women are told they’re regressive.

This isn’t just theoretical. I’ve watched it play out in the lives of people I know. Take my friend who endured a brutal divorce. His ex-wife had spent years as the poster child for “smash the patriarchy.” She posted feminist memes, championed girlboss rhetoric, and insisted on total financial independence—until the marriage ended. Then everything flipped. She fought tooth and nail for the beautiful LA house, declaring with a straight face that “the woman always gets the house.” The same woman who had mocked traditional gender roles suddenly invoked them when it suited her. The entitlement was breathtaking. Side note: she’s still living in the house after a decade.

This pattern repeats across friendships, social media, and dating apps. Progressive women rail against “toxic masculinity” and traditional expectations for themselves, yet quietly (or not so quietly) expect men to embody strength, stoicism, and success. They want the six-figure provider who also does 50/50 emotional labor, the tall protector who never makes them feel small, and the decisive leader who still defers to their feelings on every decision. And heaven help the man who admits he wants a wife who cooks, keeps a warm home, and cheers him on rather than competes with him.

I don’t believe we should force traditional roles on anyone. I’m not here to police personal choices. What bothers me, what feels deeply unfair, is the one-sided shaming. Men are constantly told their desires are problematic, patriarchal, and in need of “unlearning.” Women’s desires are treated as sacred, non-negotiable, and beyond critique. If a man says he wants a feminine, supportive partner, he’s accused of wanting a “bang maid” or a doormat. If a woman says she wants a masculine provider, she’s simply “knowing her worth.” The cultural narrative has no problem with expectations for thee, but not for me.

This double standard is driving the very trends we’re seeing with Passport Bros and the broader male disengagement from Western dating. Men aren’t stupid. They notice when the rules are rigged. They notice when women demand traditional benefits without traditional trade-offs. And increasingly, they’re opting out or looking elsewhere.

The solution isn’t to shame women for their preferences but to apply the same scrutiny to everyone. If we’re truly for equality, then either all gender expectations in partner selection are fair game, or none are. Women should be free to want protectors and providers without apology. Men should be free to want nurturers and homemakers without being labeled misogynists. And both sides should be asking the harder question that rarely gets airtime: What do I truly offer someone? What am I bringing to the table beyond my checklist of demands?

Because relationships aren’t transactions, but they are exchanges. Pretending otherwise while enforcing a lopsided set of rules only breeds resentment. If we keep telling men their desires are backward while giving women a free pass, we shouldn’t be surprised when more of them decide the search for a compatible partner leads somewhere other than home.

It’s time to drop the hypocrisy. Women can’t keep demanding the best of both worlds while men are told the world they want no longer exists. Fairness isn’t complicated, it just requires the courage to apply the same standards to ourselves that we apply to the other side.

There's no shortage of women eager to tell you what they expect of a man. But you never ever hear them talk about what a man can expect of them.

Edward Kenway x Reader: Relationship Preferences

1)Who would be constantly kissing the other? You’re always surprising Edward with quick kisses when he least expects it.

2) Who’s the big spoon and little spoon? Usually, Edward is the big spoon for the sole reason that he often comes to bed late at night and doesn’t wish to wake you when he slides into bed beside you. But as soon as you realise he’s there, you latch onto him like a koala bear and he can’t help but envelope you in his arms.

3) NSFW Fuck or make love? Somewhere in between.

4) NSFW Who’s on top? Edward is! (But he high-key loves it when you are)

5) Who wakes up first? Edward does. His sleeping pattern can be very distorted as a result of captaining.

6) Who constantly wants to hold the other? He does.

7) Who has a sweet tooth? Edward does! For a lot more things than sugar 🐸

8) Who’s the singer out of the two of you? You are! He loves shanties but isn’t the best at singing them.

9) Who’s the bigger nerd? Edward wouldn’t even know where to start with anything nerdy, but he’d love to be taught by you.

10) Who’s terrified of horror flicks? In an AU, neither of you are really phased.

11) Who wants to stay in bed the longest? Edward does. He drinks A LOT of rum and the headaches that can follow are not fun to wake up to.

12) Who says the first ‘I love you’? Edward did much to both his and your surprise.

13) Who gets jealous? I wouldn’t necessarily call it jealousy, but you’re both protective of each other.

14) Who would sing your baby to sleep? You both would!

15) Who needs the most reassurance? You do! Edward can be very headstrong sometimes.

16) Who just wants to be held by the other? You both do for slightly different reasons. You want to be held because you miss him when he’s away and you love being hugged, Edward on the other hand doesn’t get very much physical contact that involves comforting, he also misses you while he’s away and wants for nothing more than to be close to you when he returns.

17) NSFW Who whispers the dirtiest things in the others ear at all the wrong times? You do mostly but when he’s in the mood then boy is he in the mood.

18) Who knocks everything over? Neither of you do!

19) Who wants a baby? Edward does but he doesn’t really want to say that he does. If it happens he’s happy! And if it doesn’t he’s happy too!

20) Who brings home all the stray animals? You both do!

21) Who gets the most nightmares? Edward does and he also doesn’t really like talking about them, but sometimes he genuinely has to.

22) Who’s the complete flirt? Edward is.

23) NSFW Who’s the kinkiest? It’s a tie.

24) NSFW Who’s biggest tease? You are!! You sometimes like to drag it out a little bit more than he does but he knows how much of an effect his teasing strokes can have on you.

25) NSFW Who’s the one who loves giving/receiving oral? Edward Kenway is patron saint of oral, I kid you not.

26) Who’s the most protective? You are! You’re both very protective of each other in that one likes to know that the other is okay, that you’re getting enough sleep and food and that you’re safe. You’re a little bit more protective of Eddie because of his occupation. He knows this and always try’s to reassure you because he doesn’t want you to worry.
