It has become clear to me,through my philosophical research, that the reason why males simply cannot know what women want is because "masculinity" involves transcendence of what it generally understood to be "femininity". That is, a male become a man by negating the aspects within him that relate to empathy, reflectiveness, and intellectual flexibility. These aspects become relegated to the realm of the "feminine" in the man who has successfully transcended them, in order to become "masculine".
Henceforth, when a woman speaks, a "masculine" man is unable to process what she is saying. He has, to all effects and purposes, "transcended" her language and its meanings, and now what a woman says has no meaning for him.
Despite the fact that women are fully capable of communicating what "they want", the man is no longer in a position to hear them, insofar as he is "a man". So, "what women want" is necessarily mysterious to him.
