I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with some of you. I think it is foolish for a woman to live solely for her man. The reason why I say this is because I have known women who have done this, and what sad stories they are. They're only source of identity is the man in their lives. All his interests are theirs, all his opinions are theirs, and so on. What happens when their man leaves them or dies? What then? What will they do with themselves? How will they think for themselves? A man is not going to be around forever, so it is best for a woman to have a life separate from a man.
As for the men in these types of relationships, I've noticed they are controlling, domineering, overly needy and often rude towards their women because they know they can get away with it. That's because they know their women can't live without a man in their lives. Men like that will always use that knowledge against their women.
Getting back to Prince William and Kate Middleton, if she is a "man pleaser", then I see that a character flaw for both of them. Kate is a pathetic woman who is afraid to be on her own, and Prince William is way too needy. I mean, what kind of man wants a woman who thinks he's a god, just because he so happens to be a man? Sounds like a severely insecure man who seriously lacks of confidence.
I know I'm going to be flamed for what I just said, but I had to say it. I based my opinion on what I have seen in life. For me, the point of the woman's movement was for women to have their own lives away from men, and for men not to be domineering towards women. Any woman, to me, who allows a man to dominate them, is setting the woman's movement back 50 years.
