 California Written fer the AP Feature

For millions Of years the male has had the initiative in dealing with the female. Differences be- tween male and female have been modified by civilization. but this one has remained. Stanford Uni versity scientists have found that he greatest difference between men and women today is the great CT aggressiveness of the male
 Women who propose are simply rying to make men of them selves. That is not a very high ambition In cherishing it, they are overriding one of the most an- clent, deep seated, and impar- tant differences in the behavior of the two sexes.
 They have nothing to gain by such a violation of the rules.
 Who is it that wants to violate the rules? Not the normal, attrac- i've, successful woman, but the woman who is a failure. Refusing to recognize that her failure is her own fault she wants to change the rules She picks out Leap Year as an occasion to try to dis guise her own lack of under standing. She would do better to learn the rules, and then start early to play the game instead of waiting, as many educated wo- men do, until most of the men worth marrying are already mar ried.

NO LAW AGAINST IT

There is no law preventing a woman from proposing. She can dc so any time she likes. Age-old ex- perience has taught her that it is not worthwhile.
 If she is not clever enough to maneuver man into a position where he will propose to her thereby feeling that he is keeping the highly -prized masculine initi- ative in his own hands = she might not be clever enough to keep a husband after she got him.
 Of course there are exceptions. Some men are dependent by na- ture. They want strong, aggressive, dominating wives. If that is the kind of wife a man wants, he will have no trouble whatever in get ting one He may be entirely happy with her.
 WANT A "BOSSY" MAN? .
 Study of thousands of marriages by the Los Angeles Institute of Family Relations reveals that mar riages in which the husband IS ooss are 30 percent happier than those in which the wife is boss.
 Even at that, it is evident that there are many happy marriages in which the wife is boss = one husband out of every eight in the United States is in this happy but-bossed-by his wife group. The wife, in such a case, may be less happy than the husband.
 But the average girl, who ad-

MEN AREN'T FLATTERED

Most men do not like aggressive women. Most men do not waEt women to try to beat them at their own game. Most men fo not feel flattered at receiving a proposal from woman.
 In this situation, what has wo- man to gain by proposing?
 The intelligent woman can, anc does, let a man know her feelings If he is diffident about proposing because he thinks she expect' more luxury than he can offer, she can easily let him know that she does not require luxury She can let him know a lot of things.
 After that, if he still does not want her enough to say so, it may be that he would not be a very valuable husband for her in any case.
