ORIGINAL: NorthernGent I don't think the evidence supports your claim, MM. There have been significant advances for women in the last 200 years. They remain, however, "the other". Women remain the object of male libidinal desire. And men remain the object of female libidinal desire...at least in heterosexual individuals. Women remain inadequately represented in board rooms. A function of society, not as a matter of choice by women. Women remain inadequately represented in government. Again, societal pressures, hundreds of years of history in governments. Women remain mothers and housewives. Granted, today's world demands two working parents, but it's fair to say women accept the task of child-rearer and home maker. Women accept the task? Do men reject the task? Someone's gotta raise the kids. Social interaction remains the same. At social events, men introduce themselves to other men, before introducing their partners...."this is my wife/girlfriend etc". Huh? I don't understand how you have come to this conclusion, nor how it is at all germaine to the question. Women remain associated with mundale female pursuits - shopping, hairdressing etc - men are associated with projects. I assume you meant "mundane" female pursuits...wow. It doesn't have to be this way; women choose this role for themselves. How do you arrive at this conclusion? 'Exceptions to the rule. Mr. NG, please meet some more women!!! When I read through NG's comment I was wondering exactly HOW any of that has anything to do with dominance. Last I knew, dominance was/is a personality trait.
