“In many families, the woman who becomes active is seen as a threat to the strong male. He feels that he is losing control over ‘his woman’ and might feel that he is being outdone or outshined by his mate, a problem that is exhibited if she is successful….Pressure begins to build on her side as she tries to balance her commitment to the cause with the conflicting demands that come out of her mate’s emotional needs.” (Mary Mellor, 2013, p. xx)
