Likewise, the female loves the gentleman but the dominant woman expects and demands to be treated with respect and heart-felt servitude. The woman of old may have been touched by a man’s gestures of kindness for compared to the macho male the gentleman stands out from the crowd. But the woman of yesterday was not as empowered as the woman of today, so a man’s kind acts were his gift to a woman and often the gentleman was trained in the ways of good manners by either his mother or his wife. Domination has always existed but what is different today is that women no longer hope that a man will treat them good. Today women expect and demand that men treat them with respect. Not all women have this new outlook but far more today than ever before, and this represents a significant societal shift.

Are there many couples living like this? Far more than you would imagine. More and more marriages are female dominated relationships. Women always did dominate the marriage relationship, even in years gone by, but what is different today is that women no longer do it in subtle and manipulative ways. Women are becoming more open about their desire to run the show and a big part of this has to do with the ever-increasing male submissive顺从 — willing to obey nature. Men are letting it be known that they like to be dominated, both inside and outside the bedroom. Again, this is a major societal shift.
