Nature is amoral.
Men get the short end of the stick in the sense that we're supposed to be expendable cannon-fodder. Sort of like walking sperm. Women get the short end of the stick in the sense that they evolved to be submissive baby-factories awarded to a guy who is not the noblest or most chivalrous but merely the strongest and most aggressive.
On top of that inner-programming, I think both genders want autonomy. But men want autonomy by default. Women are always in conflict between their higher-order brain functions desiring autonomy/independence and their guilty pleasures of being passively "taken" or swept off her feet, your rape or princess fantasies and what not.
Moral of the story is that humanity is evolution that sort of got arrested in mid-stream after the dawn of civilization. We're a half-baked species. If we were truly evolved creatures we'd probably be a lot more androgynous and lot less sexually-driven, maybe more elf-like. Then we'd spend more of our time getting shit done instead of constantly hatching up ways to get laid more and women would stop being so neurotic and impulsive.
