I understand that too, but without going to the extreme of crying, necessarily, you do want your woman to have your back, right? To support you, in some sense, that if that support was sudden removed, it would be like pulling a rug right out from under your feet, especially emotionally. That's a kind of vulnerability, you know. Vulnerability to betrayal and what not. I feel like this piece encompasses ALL of that. Just a man's general desire to want some kind of true intimacy (which is inherently a vulnerability, by definition) with what one might call the "divine feminine." In other words, for some mysterious reason, I don't just not want to be stabbed in the back by my woman; but I want to give her the power to stab me in the back, in the first place (even when I don't necessarily have to do that) and then have her proceed to not stab me in the back, because she actually loves me, you know?
