In the first line you said women are men's counselors, but in the second line you said WIVES. There's a huge difference between some random woman and a wife. Second, men are supposed to counsel men. Now it doesn't look like a cry fest, but it starts with fathers teaching their sons how to manage their emotions and channel it into a healthy outlet. Then men are supposed to be brothers to each other as friends. They're not supposed to be so ego driven that they make enemies of other men. Unfortunately men end up being fake to one another and then go cry to random women like they're their mothers. That's not healthy. Our society has learned to worship women and need women and sex for everything. Because men do this, our society is falling apart with women in positions of power. Men have become subservient to women. A wife is there to encourage her husband and support him. Why? So that HE can be the leader both of the family and in public life. That's healthy. Back when there were actually families society had men who were supported and when they went out into the public they were capable leaders. But if the husband is crying to his wife all the time to make decisions then that's not a healthy marriage. It's all about balance.
