Leonard's simple definition works.
For the female of the species, having all sorts of urgent problems is a tactic to pressure men to give her resources, validation, and attention. The beta male does not understand the tactic and falls into the trap, trying to help her with her imaginary problems.
Watch any "Chick Crack"-style television series or movie to see this illustrated, intended for an audience that has zero self-awareness. The reason men don't take an interest in these shows is because it's enraging to watch a woman _____ when she could _____ if only she would stop _____. For a woman, watching the female lead get dumped, beaten, evicted, and fired while having plausible deniability for all of her idiotic mistakes is their fantasy life realized right there on the screen.
