My submissive side would probably enjoy a world in which women really were much more intelligent and capable than men. There's something very powerful about the idea of being in an inferior category, of being born into natural subservience. Unfortunately for my submissive side, but fortunately for a lot of other reasons, that just isn't the world we live in. Of course, it's absolutely true that women in Western countries are beginning to outperform men in education, statistically speaking. The reasons for this must be complicated sociocultural ones, and it would be naive to think that the trend will continue forever, but it's not impossible that we'll live to see a day in which at least some elite professions are dominated by women. My submissive side, appreciative of female power of almost any sort, rather likes that idea. I don't think it would a disaster for society, either. A certain amount of male talent might end up going to waste, but as long as we were producing enough qualified doctors, or anthropologists, or whatever it wouldn't matter too much if a high proportion of them happened to be female.
