LOL well I'm simply stating if dominance were absolute one way or another. The male species is more like the wild animal.
Sorry for the late comment but I just read this today. I've been thinking about this subject for a long time now and it instinctively seems like the logical path.
However the way some women are with power, they are worse then men. Everything the woman does is almost always underhanded and subversive. So, when it comes down to it, I'd rather have a master because I lack trust in most of my female counterparts and I would trust a man before most women.
This is just a bs rant I guess.

Perhaps I only think that because you're similar to how I am. I suppose there is wide variety of how women and men are in these kinds of relationships that what may be right for you (and me) may not work for everyone. I'm not into punishment in relationships between adults. I disagree on equality simply on the moral basis that all people are created equal - although some are cleverer, stronger, better looking etc than others so that's just semantics.
I always want and need someone "better" otherwise how can I, a patently alpha female wolf, using your terms, feel I could cede control to my man? It's the only way it works for me. I am not identical to you in that although I'm certainly elitist and successful in career terms I'm fairly submissive generally.
Various parts of your post were useful to me and familiar. The last man I was seeing was a bit like you describe - there would never be any dumping of his feelings/difficulties on me and I respected him for that and wanted him to keep his privacy, almost and only share what he wanted to share. It was protective of me.
