Im superior to no one and no one is inferior to me. Without me, a submissive cannot really be who they truly feel they are. Without the submissive, I cannot really be who I feel I truly am. My D/s is a collaboration. I just happen to be the CEO of the venture.

Fuck that shit. I totally disagree. I'm better than a whole lot of folks. I'm a better person, I'm a better dom and I'm a better man.
Now, that ain't PC and it flies in the face of a whole lotta this modern crap, but you can stand there all day arguing til your blue in the face and there ain't no way in hell you're gonna convince me that I ain't better than, say, Ted Bundy.
Theoretically I can buy the concept that all people are created equal, but ya know what?-That idea don't play in reality. We all have different skills, values, morals, intelligence and (most important of all) actions.
So don't come to me and say I'm not, cuz I'm gonna tell you to blow it out your ass.
I am better than some folk,(Some of whom are on here, the ridiculous misogynist stupid losers for example). I'm also not as good as others (I'll argue to the day I die that the lilone is a much better person than am I, and I'm right, even if she doesn't agree.But hey, I'm the dom, so that means I'm 100% correct)And that's cool.
But I will say this-I would never get involved with a slave that I thought I was better than. I won't do that to her, or to me.
Why?
Because I have too much self respect to do otherwise. If I don't believe she's my equal, I won't respect her. And I'm not wired to fall in love with anyone I don't respect. And i won't sell myself short like that.
I'm better than that. I deserve better. And you can call that whatever you want, but I call it healthy

Personally (and I'm far from the most experienced person here, so people feel free to correct me) I've never known a full-time D/s couple who keep this female supremacy males-are-useless-worms thing going on outside of playtime, because it's just not practical.

Just because it's practical doesn't mean it can't be improved on, Aderious511.

Patriarchy does work, that's a certainty. Matriarchy doesn't, that's very nearly a certainty. But patriarchy isn't optimal, which you seem to be forgetting entirely. The Spartans and the Vikings understood this, and accorded women rights that others did not. Neither of those two cultures' downfalls were related to that choice in the least.

Almost all women step up if they have to, and some women like stepping up. Men's "purpose" is to step up, and history is full of men that step up when they shouldn't. Seems to me it's better to have whoever is qualified stepping up, regardless of gender. That seems to be the most effective solution, and it tends to result in a remarkably high degree of gender balance.

i disagree. Here in Asia, almost every part of social protocol is based on perceived vantages of standing. Teacher/student, Employer/employee, Customer/cashier ... The senior person does not despise the junior. It is accepted that the senior has a privilaged statis because they have earned it. The young revere the aged because they are wise, but in turn the aged respect the young because they are strong. There's a bit of balance at play.
