It's quite simple. Biologically speaking men are the active and women are the receptive ones. That does not mean one is more powerful or worth more than the other, but there is a complementing of each other. If men and women weren't meant to complement each other, we would be hermaphrodites. Let's just look at the act itself - the man penetrates (active) the woman (receiving).
That being said, women rarely want to be subjugated and dominated - but they want to be lead. There is a reason why women are indeed attracted to alpha-males - even though there is a common misinterpretation of what alpha means as that is dependant on the woman. For some it means intelligence, for others it relates to physical strength, again others base it around being the leader of his social circle, some want the guy to be rich and/or successful in job-life, etc
And alpha-men (gosh, I dislike that term - but it fits nonetheless) do indeed lead, they don't dominate. This picture sums it up perfectly - even though it has a different context: saeedhm.files.wordpress.com/.../...der-800x800.png
Now why do women like to be increasingly dominated in this day and age? I think it has to do with three aspects:
1. An unhealthy development of sexuality instead of a natural progression of understanding ones own.
2. The sexual liberate and hedonistic lifestyle focusing more on pure desire and lust and thus being more into the actual primal drives and urges - aka being dominated instead of having intimate and affectionate sex.
3. Men and women losing their gender-identity more and more. Neither is really embracing masculinity and femininity anymore. Many men aren't men anymore, but complete wusses (note: the is a difference between having and showing emotions and being a wuss) or over-compensating with hyper-masculinity (aka complete jerks). The same is for women who deny themselves the beauty of their inner femininity and strive to abandon it. (read: https://www.mostlyodd.com/death-by-utopia/ )
Now this results in a re-balancing of the mind. Imagine it like - this is an extreme example now - rape victims who often turn out to become hypersexual or asexual.
It is a coping mechanism of the mind to attempt to balance itself out in one way or another. Now those women who are into actual dominating balance themselves out in that hyper-receptiveness aka being subjugated. It is in a way an unhealthy outburst of what is else suppressed.
After all, sexuality is not an independent entity, but reflects who we are and/or what we really need deep down and sometimes distorts it.

You are wrong. The submissive has all the power. She gets done to her what she wants, not what she doesn't. She gives you the illusion of free will when in fact, there is nothing you can do to her that she will not let you do. She is just curious to see what it is of all the things she will let you do that you want to do now.
Not all women view being dominated as being treated like an object or treated badly, you're likely thinking of more hardcore BDSM or humiliation fetishes. The concept for the average woman (at least for myself and women I know) like the idea of their man being in control because it eliminates their responsibility temporarily and allows them to simply enjoy being pleasured by someone who we see as strong and in control, which are traits commonly viewed as attractive.
It's not the being objectified that we like. It's the dominance that the guy is showing that's a huge turn on. Everything else is just an accessory to that.
I like being dominated, but I'd only do that with someone I trust and who I know cares for me. Like a type of role-play, nothing more. I'd hate that sort of relationship as a lifestyle, or out of the bedroom in any way.
When I say I like a dominant man doesn't mean I like to be treated badly. I'm not looking for a master/slave relationship lol. When I say I like dominant men, I mean alpha males. Guys with the take charge attitude. I find it hot and endearing.
thats not true at all. I enjoy doing the dominating too. But there's something about a powerful woman that turns me on as well...

The key question I must ask you;
do you think of women as "less" worthy of respect, because they like their dude to show off some strength and dominance?Sorry to break it to you. Not all women like being dominated. This one in particular won't allow herself to be.

I'm not one who enjoys that at all. But I guess the ones who like it enjoy feeling helpless and whatnot.
Ask the girls that do enjoy it. I like to dominate the guy instead
It's in there DNA to be submissive it's how they survived caveman days.
I only like being dominated during sex. If you boss me around in regular life then I'll get mad.
It's the nature of the human female. You will learn this in due time.
