What About Guys?

As a guy I find it incredibly frustrating that society has all these messages about how women should be treated.  Don't get me wrong, women are wonderful and are honestly my favorite part about God's creation.  However, I don't understand why there isn't much of anything I've found on how to treat men.

Most of what I've found are "cute" pictures and such posted on Facebook which are mostly about the "right guy."  Which I guess is something, but still guys need to be treated right too.  It's annoying to see women abuse their femininity to in essence put guys into this tiny box where the guy is basically a slave for lack of a better term.

Granted, men do treat women disrespectfully, but I don't think that's right for either gender to do that.
"And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.  For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord.  For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church.   As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything." - Ephesians 5:21-23

Submitting isn't obeying them without questioning, it's an idea of respecting someone else's authority and respecting someone esle.

"For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.  He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault.  In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself.  No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church.  And we are members of his body." - Ephesians 5:25-30

Love is such an important thing and I honestly think both of these passages reflect how both men and women operate, but it's still super annoying to not see much in society on how to treat men.
