Some of these points are true, but I think your last point regarding "most women wanting to be adorers rather than adored" is simplistic.

I want to feel that there are some things about my partner that he does better than me. If I was 100% better than him at everything I wouldn't be able to be inspired by or admire him for anything. But if he was 100% better than me in everything I would not be an equal partner, I would be a submissive slave.

So there are some things I look up to my partner in - and vice versa. I would not be a partner if I was JUST the "adorer". Yes I like to feel adoration but I won't feel that if I don't feel it's reciprocated. I am both adorer and adored. And that's what I want. In my view the ideal relationship is one where each person inspires the other to grow. Because they both look up to each other in different ways.

A woman who JUST wants to be the adorer and wants the man to be above her in everything? Pretty fucking rare. They exist but it's usually a kind of kink for them to be "lesser than".
