In straight cis-heteronormative couples, it is accepted as the societal norm for the female to be #submissive and succumb to the male. Women’s fantasy of being forcefully taken and seduced is interlaced with the fact that such mate would be probably genetically very well predisposed to give them healthy and strong children. In many other contexts, the world of business, citizen-state interaction, etc., the allocation of power is also evident.
In other romantic relationships, however, there are fewer social guidelines about who exchanges power with whom. Nevertheless, in every gay bar we find strong, dominant #Alpha Males and subservient #bitchboys. It appears to be our nature. 🤷
