Power, however you define it, is the cancer of vanilla relationships. The reason why divorce is so high is because partners fight for power, fight for control, fight for dominance. In any relationship there has to be a clear and agreed upon leader, that's why the military works. I regularly use the image of Archie Bunker coming home and sitting in his favorite chair as Edith scampers to get his beer. Archie is the understood leader. However the key to that scene is the joy on Ediths face as she returns. It is her pleasure to serve, it is her accepted role to serve. Even as the show progressed, Meathead challenged Archies views, never him being the Alpha male. Also an underlying theme of this relationship was Edith always respected Archie, and Archie always respected Edith.

People CAN work together without struggling for power and without a clear dom/sub dynamic. All of my current relationships are vanilla- there is no dominant or submissive. We play with eachother, sometimes one will top and the other will bottom and sometimes we just hang out. We work well like that. quote: I regularly use the image of Archie Bunker coming home and sitting in his favorite chair as Edith scampers to get his beer. Archie is the understood leader.

And believe it or not, some dominants enjoy getting submissives a drink, too.

Fred Flintstone was way before Archie.

Hello, Hell no! Archie wasn't the first Dom. I think a really horny stong cave man was. Think about it. He went out, found a girl he thought was cute, abudcted her, pulled her by the hair to his cave & screwed the crap out of her while she struggled to get away. Pretty good old Doms huh? And at least 30-40,000.00 years earlier. I do like Archie and Ediths Style and Grace though. They knew their jobs and what expectations the other had. Definately a Dom/sub relationship. Sincerely, sub suzanne

Archie would say he wasn't a damned pervert like us and not to talk about stuff like that in his house.

stef -> RE: Was Archie the first tv DOM? (12/1/2005 12:39:07 PM)
Archie was quite fond of calling anyone who did something his closed mind didn't approve of, a "prevert". ~stef

Ward and June were long before Archie. So were the Honeymooners.

fldrkhorse -> RE: Was Archie the first tv DOM? (12/1/2005 2:56:43 PM)
I'd argue neither June nor Alice (especially Alice) were submissive. Just traditional wives.

Archie was a bully. Edith might have smiled a lot and did his bidding, but I like to think she got her revenge in subtle ways he never knew about. [;)]

Archie was a bigot, a chauvenist, and a close minded fool, not exactly what us Dom's strive to become. Was he the first Dom on T.V.?....NO, but he was the a DOM ASS. The first Dom on T.V. was Pepe le Pue, Geez the way that skunk controlled his women made such an impression on me, at such an early age......16...O.K. I have a cartoon fetish, get over it!

quote: Just traditional wives. What is the difference between traditional and submissive? They obeyed their husbands orders. Or course they weren't called orders. Though today they are. Yes, they had input but so do submissives.

quote: Archie was a bully I'm not sure I'd agree with this. Archies motives seemed to be rooted in love not fear. Bullys are all about fear. Though he was everything the posts said he was, I believe they loved each other. I believe Archie truly lived to love, protect, and provide for his family. As it seemed Edith lived to serve him and obey him.
