in seriousness though...
what the researcher is saying however is "true" if you come from the perspective that deference shown towards women, is a tacit understanding by women that the deference is rooted in their being in need of that deference, that is, that they are somehow weaker/less than men, that they need men, and that this is a way for men to show (and perpetuate) their dominance. it's a really small version of "the patriarchy!"
its a hard core feminist position and its a rejection of the traditional roles most of us have grown up with.
I'm going to quote this, another time and accentuate the parts I feel are important:

So ... starting with "IF ..." one must already buy into the "all women are victims, whether they know it or not" mentality.
Then, you aptly state that it is a hard-core feminazi position.
I am not up-braiding you. I am saying that even in your "defense" of the veracity of the belief, you had to position it in a specific way or it falls apart.
There are a couple of ladies that I can think of that no longer enjoy my largess, when they have shown that they are completely freaked-out by my desire to treat them like a lady.
There are even a couple on this very site who have found themselves on my hide/block list rather than my telling them what true twat waffles I think they are (and thereby, no longer behaving like a gentleman).
