The opinions thus far have been pretty much as thorough as it gets, but I thought I'd toss in my voice too. No, not all Dom/mes think this way. I, myself, believe that men and women are equal where it matters, and the choice of a woman to submit or Domme is her RIGHT, just as it is a man's right to Dominate or submit. It is a mutual, consentual understanding. This person either has a problem over-judging his own worth or has had problems with females. Either way, it's wrong. I have a good friend who, because she has had several bad instances with men, is developing feministic tendencies. And you can bet that this means that more and more she gets pissy at me, because I am a Dom of female submissives, including our mutual best friend and my old girlfriend. The long distance pet I had before that was constantly going from loving, sweet pet to homicidal and bitchy, and last we spoke, she vowed to pray for my violent death every night because I didn't "get her" (nevermind that she was too proud to tell me what was on her mind. But I digress.) My old gf (the one who is seeking submission to me now) has had a long history of leaving me for more "dangerous" guys and falling back on me when they turned out to be jerks (this was before I was seeking D/s RL). Point being, I have had my own bad history with women in my life, but I would never think that they are below me, or think such rediculous notions that their only place is on their knees. In my humble opinion, if you feel that way...really, what's the point? I love D/s because of the swell in my heart when a submissive CHOOSES to give herself completely to me, because she loves and trusts me. If you think women are meant to be there...where's the joy in that? On a parting note, I would like to add that I have seen this in a small number of Dommes as well, who believe that men are fat, stupid, slow, and think with their nether regions, and are only good for pleasuring them. Sexism has many faces, and all are as equally rediculous (to me, at least)
