After all, what do women want?

In Brazil and the world, women have advanced considerably in various sectors. This breakthrough came when in the pursuit of equality. However, research suggests, this advance and gave no's as you want. Although they are as entrepreneurial as men (and in some manner even more than them) have an average years of schooling increased, more and work with self-esteem are high, the distances to be overcome are still considerable. Moreover, they are still aiming for an ideal romantic partner, marriage for life, children and family. In this context, the question title seems out of place, with the difficulty lies precisely in response, since it does not legitimize these men "want", and not prepared to show the point of choosing a partner who will be the same. Given the autonomy of our desires, born of internal dynamics of the genre to which we belong and conditioned by society and the changes that occur in it, perhaps the more appropriate question is: "After all what we men and women want today?".
