Or, would you say most women actually perfer submissive men?

To be more specific, I'm talking about men who are submissive in their role in the relationship as a partner and also sexually.

It's an interesting, I guess, maybe taboo sort of topic that I would like opinions on.

Thank you for reading.

My experience would show that most women prefer a man to take charge.

Even many women with very successful, high power careers want to take a submissive house keeper/mother type roles in the home.

Many women also find it gratifying for men to take control sexually.

Of course there is no "one size fits all" solution to people and in the age of equality, any suggestion that gender roles aren't equal in every way can be very controversial.

My GF in college (a double art and bio major who now runs a major biotech firm) told me that advanced education is a predictor of submissive kinks in women.
