Most cultures around the world has prooven that male dominations is something normal and also to be respected.Why today's society had such a negative thought about it?Is it true that women felt over threatened to this idea?Was it just male psycological effect or there is something more biological to it?any ideas boys and gals?.....

Dominance is related to power, and power can have many forms. So far men could dominate on women, simply by the threat of their physical superior strength. In modern societies, where the use of violence is (supposed) to be a monopoly of the state, other forms of power is used (economic, mental, influence, charisma) to prevail and dominate, forms that can be accessed by women too.\n\nIt is said that matriarchal societies ended when its was realized be men that the conception of human embryo, was not sth devinne as it was believed till then, but that they had a participation in the whole process.

O.k. some of the guys possibly reading this are not likely to like my answer, but, here goes.\nI believe that women are most definitely "equal to" men in every single way, (except when it comes to physical strength, and that's a general statement)- and superior to (or more "evolved", if you prefer), in other ways. (That is the part men aren't going to like to hear!)\nAnthropological studies have thus far traced the existence of "man" back to a an AFRICAN WOMAN. Women were also the first to learn to "communicate" with one another (referring to humans in general). Women have highly developed social skills right down to this day, and, in my opinion, have developed many skills critical to survival that men just haven't developed much of at all. (They haven't had to. Women have been taking care of them since human beings first appeared on earth!)\nWe, as women, bring forth new life onto this planet- (sure, with the sperm donation of men)- but it's the women who generally care for and raise and teach and nurture these new lives. We don't get half the credit we deserve for our abilities and our intellect, but that is where a big fault with women does apply- because we are generally not motivated by our egos, we have allowed ourselves to take this "back seat" in society, figuring we could profit in other ways- or keep the peace (which is also very important to us). However, now we live in a "man's world", and don't seem to have woke up to the fact that it is just as much our own doing- our own "fault"- as it is men's. It's time for change. It's time for women to band together and be heard. We are not a "minority" in number, and in this country (because we live in a democratic society)- we have the opportunity TO BE HEARD and our "votes to count"- but not enough women seem to care. That needs to change. We will continue to hold this place in society until we (as a whole) accept nothing less than what we deserve, and that is respect- but it begins first with ourselves. \n\nWe need to learn to respect ourselves. If we do not, how can we expect anyone else to do so, and who else then do we have to blame?

depends which society u're talking about...different cultures rear their men differently....but generally women tend to be more emotional and feelings-based than men.

I have found this to be very unfair and annoying that society is so very rigid with men.  Women can wear men's clothes and it's not looked at twice, but if a man wears woman's clothes, the entire society flips out.  I think that it's taught by the parents to the children of each generation.  I also hope that as each generation lightens up a bit, these rigid rules lighten up.

men aren't as open with their feelings because we weren't created that way. in the 40's men weren't wearring diamond rings in their ears and pink shirts. some would sat because of the world has become more feminine and some would say people are freely expressing themselves. gay and bi people run the countries states so you do the math on that. when it comes to men expressing themselves it's alot of pressure from other men calling them weak and soft not to mention a bit*h azz *igga. most importantly men are afraid of being hurt more than women are but a humble mature true woman can help a man grow with her and into her which will aloow him to freely express himself without the fear of being hurt or taken for granted.

It just follows the pattern of the sick islamic society--- they punish and hold down the very sex who was chosen to bear all their race. They take away the rights of women. They ALWAYS look for a reason to blame the women. I am by no means a feminist. I have oserved this for a very long time. \nI wonder sometimes if the men of the country feel threatened by women??? I respect my husband, he is the head of the household OUT OF RESPECT not out of fear. These men will NEVER know this feeling. That poor woman was abused again by the very system that should have protected her. I do not think ther "religion" is so great if all it teaches is to dominate through fear.

Males are evolved to copulate all fertile females in the clan, and to make sure that other males won't. . . Females are evolved to submit to the dominant male, every female wanted to be the dominant male's favourite, once another male beats the dominant male and becomes dominant, automatically all females will accept him. . . That is the background behind the way we all behave. . .That what's hidden behind our fake quasi-civilised face. . .\nI think I answered your question, subtly. . . Read it again and you will get the exact answer! . . .

I can't remember where I read this, but it's a good defination.\n\n"Women are rheostats, men are light switches."\n\nA woman's committment is far more involved than a man's so they can afford to be more cagey than a man.\n\nOne could say it's a woman's prerogative, but you should always approach an encounter with the mindset that it may go nowhere.

Well, I'm not a guy, but I do think it gives men a bad name. Because it makes some guys think they can basically do what they want to do and get away with it because they're men. Same goes for some women, though.

How come people show concern about it this much?  Like some other person said, for a big number of the world male population this is normal.  I think this is one of the things that have been recorded on people's mind, I swear.  Why there is not a lot of repulsion toward the female reproductive organ.  As I see it, there are more opportunities for it to be of concern.  A lot more of skin goin this way and the other.  A cavity for breeding of all kind of nasties.  But you know, I am not concerned, because I was not taught in that belief (maybe I should)

lower testosterone. this chemical affects muscle build and aggresiveness. Thus they're usually physically weaker. Earlier societies were much more dependent on physical assertiveness and society today has grown out of this. Things are changing and becoming less dependent on who can beat up who. Afterall Anyone can pull a trigger. \n\nWomen do hold men by the balls though and have learned how to get thiers in this world. I would not call them helpless. After all many women sit at home all day while you work and if someone invades the home you'll have to fight them too.

What's wrong with the world today is: MEN. \nThey think they own everything so they \nhave the right to do what ever they want with it. They think that if they can't have such or such girl, noone will so they kill her. They rape and kill the kids, wives in our communities, they steal, they fight, drug up, boose up, create war and chaos... It's not the women who do that... Just watch cops and AMW on Saturday and you'll see... If I could invent a lethal virus that would attack solely the Y chromosome... ummmmmm... Freedom.

Hmmm.  Well, that does make me think!\n\nProbably the guys, I have to say.  Mostly because I imagine that early civilizations were all about that stereotype- cavemen konking their womenfolk on the head and dragging them home for wives.  I can't imagine much freedoms between the ladies in that sort of environment.  And like someone else said, guys have a domination complex that might allow them to wrestle their ways into sexy situations.\n\nBut at the same time, I imagine gals getting it on at home while their menfolk are away hunting . . . laying down in the woods taking a break from the gathering.\n\nAch, I just can't decide!!  What do you think??

Mainly because men want to be and mostly think they are the "leaders" in the relation; when a strong woman appears, they are afraid they would loose their superiority and that scares them!

it all depends on perception to see if things are changing for the better.  there are so many changes all the time you could choose to see the good or the bad.  the thing you mentioned are mainly cultural evolutions which are bound to take longer as they are dependant on the collective.  it becomes a generational thing.  i have to say your views are very focused on some points which i think are not as widespread as you think.  \nsome women probably can't speak to their husbands about how they are raising their children wrong,  but who says the children are being raised wrong? how many women can tell their husbands? how many husbands can tell their wives?\nmost of the problems you highlight are fears and how ever much we progress will not be able to get rid of fear.  fear is as good as it is bad.  it protects us, helps us understand ourselves.  but it also holds us back, inhibits our experience.  \nits all about perception!!!!

idk... i thought girls from everywhere were sl**s, wh****, and bi*****s.  you know, i never really thought that amercians were that way.  we have a bad reputation with every country... i just never heard that one before.  we're fat, lazy, rich, and now were sl**s.  isnt that great?  lol... it might be influence of the media or sumthin that they don't have in all the other countries, maybe because we do more drugs, maybe its because they kno if they dont give in they might be another statistic for teen rape... who knows? im american, but i cant speak for anyone but myself.

I might agree that most women would prefer a man to lead. I think many women these days feel forced into leadership roles because men have not asserted themselves. I'm not totally convinced that it's the design of nature that causes this. My observation is that it is a cultural thing. Alot of Women still view it as a burden and a temporary  perversion of nature that has placed them in leadership. Once they  have accepted their role as leader, they seem to thrive and often outperform men in similar positions. So I think it's cultural!
