What is the responsibility of men in the context of women's dissatisfaction?

Synthesized from Source definition

"True freedom arises not from blaming others for our dissatisfaction, but from dropping expectations and taking responsibility for our own inner lives."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, men are not responsible for women’s dissatisfaction; nor are women to blame for men’s frustration. The root is a wrong way of living built on expectations and romantic projections. Women often idealize men; men are biologically infatuated—both soon meet ordinary reality. Freedom from boredom comes by dropping expectations, seeing clearly, and taking responsibility for one’s own inner life.
Men aren’t the cause of women’s unhappiness; expecting too much from each other makes everyone bored, so drop fantasies and look within.
Why this matters practically
• Reduces blame and conflict by shifting focus from partners to personal expectations.
• Builds self-awareness and acceptance of ordinariness, preventing disillusionment.
• Cultivates contentment by dropping projections and living in the present.
