She's Come A Long Ways, Baby: Questions about Female Domination and Societal Evolution

Screen 1 of 25

Q. Dear Elise, I wish to share with your readers the changes I have seen in my 50 years as a male. When I was as boy, my father was the boss in the house and I grew up in a very "traditional" household and so viewed females and males in this now very old fashioned way. I went to an all male school and generally males did better than females in education, so this reinforced the elevation of the male over the female in my eyes.

During the 1970s however, I became aware of the "Women's Lib" movement. My sister and her friends especially became very vocal in the area of women's rights. I remember they were becoming more and more anti-male and it was quite scary for me to see these young women at home, putting males down and elevating the female.

I remember one of her friends saying to me that women would rule in the future and men would be reduced to sperm donors and assigned the heavy, nasty jobs. I was frightened at the sudden change in women's viewpoints and was wary of dating girls that had the same opinions.
