Yes Mistress!

I don't know about America but over here women are doing better at school and college and are making headway in the professions, especially medicine and law, to the detriment of their male counterparts. The world is unfair, always has been and I suspect always will be. But that doesn't mean that we ought not try to maximise the strengths of each gender and use them to collective advantage.

hi HwG and Pikey yep the world never promised us a rose garden without thorns but still love the roses. It is time for a woman to rule Amnerica for sure, Men have done a lousy job so far.

There certainly can be a change as you are right Mrs. Hatley a change here is definitely long time coming and necessary.

First vote for women Hatley! I wonder how many more I will see!

yep my first response of the day on a gloomy rainy Wednesday in not at all s unny southern California. heres to us women, long may we thrive.lol

Yep. I agree. Although I am quite fond of chicken supreme.....

Brings to mind a chicken strutting about in big boots.

Now you have me blushing LadyM!! I do agree with you (dare I not?) and we should play to our strengths. He liked to think he was the dominating partner & I allowed him to believe it!!! Aren't most women like that?

In theory, at least here in the UK, we have that society that you refer to. But you and I both know better! I do agree with you that each should play to their strengths, but in practice so many people end up as square pegs in round holes and are never given the opportunity to move to something more suitable. Even more so now that there is training galore but fewer jobs than whiskers on a snail.

I do not agree. Women are only held back by men who do not want them to have any power. I know of couples where the female is the dominant member, not the man and they are perfectly happy. It is nothing to do with gender and everything to do with men not wanting women to be anything but mothers. If there was such a thing as a mother instinct then all women would have it and they don't. It is all social conditioning. There are men who prefer to stay home and rear their children and women who prefer to go to work. As to men being the higher and more respected foundation, not a chance. Respect is not something you are born to, it must be earned and in most of these male dominated societies many men show that they have no right to any respect. Women have suffered for centuries under those appalling male dominant rules, kept ignorant and held in fear. Yes men are generally stronger but they are not born superior and not all men are stronger than women. Once the mental control is broken it does not take long before women start to demand the right to be free.

I respect that view but I think that it is not a realistic one for the long term. Even Saudi Arabia is realxing its views on women.

I don't particular mention that women will only be a mother but women still a women. They are not just say what they like for men... They will command people in the office or in the army but they never do such thing with their husband... I know some men which is really fearful to their wife. But not on the extend all women did that to dominate men...

That's true of both sexes these days Steph. But if women continue to shrug their shoulders and fail to take the initiative then that is the way it will stay.

Women need to do something about it then. Female led industries and businesses for instance.

It would be an interesting change and overall one for the better I hope.

Do you mean that you like to play the Dominatrix in the bedroom or that you have had men submit as your slaves/submissives in a lifestyle situation? I know both sorts but in the context that I am discussing I am asking whether the World would be better if we were to adopt traits that are seen as essentially feminine - nurturing, sharing etc. I think that if I don't get turned on by whatever you are doing to me then there's a big problem. LOL.

I'm with you on that GL. Male subs certainly ought to be proud of their Dominant.

whoops. Pressed the buton too soon. They also should take pride in themselves and in what they are learning and how they act. They are ambassadors for their Dominant.

That is quite possible. I never wanted to be a leader but ended up falling into that role because someone had to stand up for people's rights. I found the stress hard to live with at times. It is nice to be able to come home and lean on someone you love and know that they support you totally. It must be hard to always be the one in control and not have someone to provide emotional support. Yes some of us do say intelligent stuff and if we were listened to more the world might be a better place. But even when they do listen to us all they say is that it would cost too much money to take our ideas seriously and it is not just men but women as well. I had a female boss and I was feeling the strain of my working hours as I got older so I wanted to job share. She was horified, she could not see how it might work so it was a no. No flexibility.

I think that strong men are drawn to submission as a relief from the expectation real or imaginary that they have to be the Alpha male all the time. Female supremacy is not something that I would wish to see as the norm in society although I do think that women should be listened to more. They do say intelligent stuff at times! More so than many male pronouncements LOL.

I can go along with that. Play to our strengths.

In terms of opportunity you mean. I don't want to have babies!

Awwww, come on! Every man should have just one.

I wonder if women that move into a traditionally male dominated environment like politics have to be more masculine than the men? Meaning that they take on the best and the worst of a patriarchal cociety?
