The Truth of Female Superiority
For me, the truth of female superiority is seen through the sexual dynamic. It’s a more a measure of the individual, or specific circumstance. It‘s not a universal things – meaning “not universal” as in being something able to be applied to all circumstances, be it personal, societal, intellectual, political, everything. Usually people who write articles about female superiority in the universal sense are really just letting their sexual inclinations direct their claims of logic. They’re male submissives, enamored by the thought of dominant women, and thus projecting their bias onto wider topics regardless of any common sense.
I’m not saying that women can’t “do” as well as men. Saying that declarations of all encompassing female superiority are ridiculous, doesn’t take anything away from women excepting an overly broad claim that can‘t be supported. I hope I’ve been clear in that so far. I’m saying that the topic is a complex one that isn’t “all” or “nothing”. I think it’s just as idiotic to declare female superiority in a universal sense, as it was to declare it of male superiority in that way.
In the universal sense, I don’t think either sex is superior. Each has it’s strong points, and individuals within a sex aren’t even necessarily limited by these. Inclinations and potentials, but not hard limits. For example, in the sexual sense I think women do have the advantage. Not in all ways, but when a woman takes control of her sexuality, it provides her with a very powerful means to manipulate men. In the modern era, this power has only grown, since the sexual customs have changed for both sexes, but more to the advantage of women.
Female superiority, in the way most talk of it, I see as really more sexual in form and foundation. Women, through their sexuality, have a clear power over men. A power that male sexuality further enables. But men too for that matter, obviously have an influence on women, and that includes a sexual one (so many ladies just love those trouble maker bad-boys don’t they, even when the bad-boy is so very bad for them). The clarifying factor then becomes domination. Dominant women and men each attract their submissive opposites. Women just have the advantage in this, in that their sexual power is so strong they can influence powerful men more easily than powerful men can manipulate dominant women.
This type of female superiority doesn’t equal universal superiority, just like the ability of the ancient male to bash a woman’s head in didn’t mean he was truly superior, only that physically he could better impose his will. When it came to making a decision, each sex, so long as afforded the ability to learn, experience, and speak, would have proven itself quite capable (though the dangers of the past were still more limiting to women). Superiority being seen by more capable individuals, rather than a division of sexes.
So there is a truth to female superiority, but it’s not the “absolute all encompassing” that submissive males get excited over saying it is. Women do have the clear advantage when it comes to sexual domination – or perhaps better terms, sexual manipulation – and many men even seem to like that. But human beings are far more complex than that, and individually far more diverse.
Besides also, often female superiority, of this predominantly sexual form written about in the BDSM community, is something as much driven by men as women. It’s a “turn on” to the men who want it to exist; who want powerful females to control them sexually. Question then becomes how much is it driven by itself, and how much is it really something of “shared control” – the men driving it and controlling it as much as the women since they already want it to “be“, but only within the confines of sexual domination and acts.
I am only “sometimes” a male slave, as are most other men the BDSM community. I don’t submit outside of the bedroom / dungeon. I am actually very strong willed with other things, and just happen to enjoy seeing women take the dominant role during sex. How much then, is that really female superiority, or simply me getting what I want.
Even so, as I’ve said here already, I do think that there is a validity to female superiority. I think that a woman who first masters herself can well use her sexuality to impose her will on men. In my own case, the very fact that such women get the reaction out of me that they do, puts them in a different category from your run-of-the-mill submissive leaning female. That’s not to say her strength is only a sexual one, such would be only one aspect of a strong character. It’s just that this aspect provides women with an additional, and powerful means to influence and control. It’s something intelligent women have long utilized, but the modern era is allowing it to be combined with education, equal rights and opportunities, and a wider range of options and experiences.
