I agree most women are attracted to power. Most women are miserable because of it. Hence my advice that women keep men in their place.
I don't know about 'keeping men in their place,' but I think having a healthy sense of their own identity, and not feeling dependent on deriving a sense of identity from a man would be a good thing for most women.
Not that it backs my point, but I think it's relevant, that an interesting interpretation of gender roles comes from the Biblical Adam and Eve story. Woman is created from man... she literally takes her identity from her husband. Adam, though the central figure, is an incomplete being without his wife by his side. He can surround himself with Paradise (Eden) but he is still unfulfilled and incomplete without Eve.
I think it's a good thing that women are finding their own identities more and more, and it's making relationships in this day and age much healthier as a whole, but keep in mind that as women become more independent, there remain fewer reasons for men to believe in marriage, or even monogamy within a regular relationship.
