Consequently, a religious and societal mindset that constantly reinforces a societal model where men are superior and dominant, and women are the weaker gender, will have a lasting effect on the psyches of both genders. Once a society gets into a certain pattern, it is very difficult to change the status quo. In fact, rarely can people ever affect a major societal shift on their own, regardless of the best laid plans of mice and men (a most appropriate saying by the way when you think of the FemDom女性支配 — female domination symbolism). It takes Nature, fate and external forces that are outside the control of man to bring about change. Society is evolving and man can slow it, hinder it and deny it, but man cannot ultimately change it. Much like how a river will slowly over time erode soil and carve canyons, the combination of time, events and societal pressures will bring about change.
What we are witnessing within our modern day society is a slow, steady but real and significant transfer of power and authority from male to female. It was destined to be this way and the seeds of change have been implanted by Nature into the very beings of both men and women. When a seed is planted, the life force begins to work but in the early stages nothing is visible to the naked eye. The seed must be cultivated, fed and in the proper time, it will spring forth and grow.
