Relationship equality is rare. More often than not, one partner takes on a dominant role. This assertion is defined at the very beginning of the relationship.
In my experience, women are much smarter than men. Their inherent ability to multi-task makes them better negotiators and clever debaters. There’s a prevailing consensus that men’s brains are organized into drawers whereas a female brain is like spaghetti. Men compartmentalize their thoughts in a way that past, present, and future events don’t necessarily overlap. For females, everything is connected and intertwined. In practical terms, this means that in an argument. a male’s rudimentary education can’t compete with a female’s Ph.D. in her ability to debate. This results in a win-lose power struggle, depending on the circumstances.
The institution of “The Boys Club” is real. It’s an old-school concoction of written and unwritten rules used to subjugate females to a patriarchal system. It’s a form of gender apartheid.
Men are plagued with insecurities throughout their lives. In my experience, ninety percent of all problems I’ve faced have been caused by insecurity. Confidence is rare. This plays an evolutionary role in relationships. Over many millennia, men’s dominance was apparent in the systemic subjugation of women. Even today, some societies restrict women from their physical and cognitive freedoms. Whether it is preventing women from obtaining an education, the right to vote, or the right to own property, men continue to restrict the ascension of females in social hierarchies. It’s as if men recognized long ago that they are psychologically inferior. This insecurity materialized into using physical dominance to maintain control over women.
The institution of “The Boys Club” is real. It’s an old-school concoction of written and unwritten rules used to subjugate females to a patriarchal system. It’s a form of gender apartheid. In some cultures, men continue to rule over women by justifying incarceration as a form of “protection”. Society is changing, and the women’s liberation movement has helped tremendously. But this phenomenon is mainly enjoyed in the West. Gender subjugation continues to be a reality in many corners of the world.
In partnerships where the attraction is financial – once the money runs out then the relationship is in jeopardy. Likewise, in relationships where physical attraction prevails, then the aging process depletes this currency. After procreation, a dilemma surfaces in couples. The female will have succeeded in fulfilling her biological role, but she realizes that her partner may decide to veer from the nest and repeat this cycle with a younger female. This is where psychological dominance steps in. If survival is contingent on maintaining the family unit then she needs to convince her partner that the grass is not greener outside of her household. Physical beauty is replaced by cognitive dominance. Failing to subjugate her partner risks the family’s stability. This dominance may be a conscious or unconscious effort. Regardless, control needs to be established early, to ensure long-term survival. A clever woman convinces her partner that he’s the boss. In reality, the man is just a pawn dressed as a king, and the queen rules the kingdom.

It’s worth pointing out that my views are from the vantage point of a Myers–Briggs, INTJ, and a Sigma male. These are purely my observations of my world. I have no formal training in anthropology or psychology. I’m not suggesting that gender subjugation is the staple of all relationships. Modern societies focus on gender equality and this diminishes the propensity for partnerships built on dictatorships.
