I am speaking based on our culture which is kind of old fashioned where men are the macho type and women are the submissive type. I don't think equality of gender is an issue since a relationship does not necessarily mean for the partners to be equal. That's what I have learned in life because when I was single, I thought that man and woman are created equal. But in a relationship, check the culture. As I had already said about the dominating men, I tried to learn how to be happy with the arrangement since I love my boyfriend. Fortunately, he returned the favor by making me his priority. However, I may just be lucky because I know of some men who are abusive to their girlfriends. Anyway, if a woman would be submissive but not to the extent of being abused, I guess that is a good way of maintaining a good relationship.

Comically, despite the fact men are so macho in so-called macho nations, there are still plenty of loser guys. Why?  Well, the reason is so many guys have no money.  How can they boss women around in a nation where they get the "green light" when they're such losers!
