Who says feminine energy is passive?
One of the main themes of the book is the necessity of polarity between masculinity in the man and femininity in the woman. The author explains that feminine energy is passive, receptive, and yielding, while masculine energy is active, leading, giving and dynamic. The author believes that one of the results of empowered women in the workplace is that they are exercising their masculine energies, which leads to reduced polarity between man/woman in relationships. To remedy this, he says, "As in ballroom dancing, it's the man's job to lead." If you can accept that as truth, then you will probably enjoy this book and find it quite useful. For me, that one assumption, that the man leads / woman follows, overpowered most of the good in this book. (And some of his ideas/themes were indeed good, as many reviewers state.) I'm sure there are some men who would appreciate me following passively. That's how men ruled the world. But that's far too great of a price to pay for a date.
