Thanks everyone for answering honestly... And for everyone who disliked or insulted another person's opinion, I first of all apologize on their behalf to the owners of those opinions, and I just want to say that I didn't ask this question so that people would harass one another... Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions and I honestly respect each one... Thank you everyone who shared their opinions without slandering others... And from now on could everybody please just be decent? Thanks!

  • No less so than men are supposed to be dominant.

  • They can do what they like haha

  • Women are supposed to be whatever they want to be. You must be your authentic self to attract the best partner for you. If you want to be submissive all the time or just in the bedroom, be that way. If you want to be dominant all the time or just in the bedroom, be that way. If you want to be a combination of ways, be that way. You want to live a life that satisfies you and attracts the kind of people who like who you really are.

  • Women are "supposed" to be whatever makes them happy. So no, you don't have to submissive, just be who you want to be.

  • No. You're allowed to enjoy sex however you want. If you want to be dominant, go for it! Believe me, I'm sure there are plenty of guys who would enjoy that.

    ... me being one of them who would, lol.

  • It's complicated. PM me if you're not just trolling and you really wanna talk about this.

    • ok lol

  • Nope

    • 😂thank you lol

  • only if they want to assume that role

  • It is centuries old teachings of religions, moral & ethical code, as well as society's behavior which has inculcate in women's mind that they are submissive, and that being open and active is unladylike.

    • But it's found in every culture, with religious and global separations between them. Early cultures are a good place to study this, before global influence became a problem. I believe it's instinctive in many cases. Men wish to lead and women want to be attractive to men. You might be surprised to learn just how many men are content with poverty, but try not to be poor in order to be more attractive.

  • Supposed to? No. If they want to? Absolutely.

  • By "supposed to be" do you mean "intended to be" ? No, intention implies an actor but there is none. Women aren't intended to be anything. Some women are submissive to their partners in some ways, others are not submissive at all. Some men are submissive to their partners. Suit yourself.

  • Yep😐

    • But actually nope😐

  • they do not have to be.

  • I dont think so. Personally, im a switch so sometimes i like to be dom sometimes i like to be a sub

  • Yes if they WANT to be.

    • Totally

  • Not necessarily, society just says stuff like that then tries to use "evolution" to justify it, women do not 'have' to be submissive just like how men do not 'have' to be dominant.

    Do not mind what other people say, just be yourself!😊

  • well if you're asking about how on average most women are then yes
    most women are submissive, some are dominant and some are a mix of both
    I prefer to have my woman extremely submissive as I'm a dominant :D
    but you're 14 you still need some time to decide what you are don't rush into it right now I guess
    If you want more help let me know I would happily do but try to save yourself for now :D, at least that's my opinion :)

  • supposed to be isn't the way i'd put it, I would say more likely programmed but this is a thing of the past... and this is why woman are more independent, speak freely, fight against any form of inappropriateness etc...

    But in the past young boys and girls would have been taught that a man provides and takes care of the family while the woman stays at home... so basically the man is in charge and the woman is to be a support player.

  • I don't know about fully submissive, but, most of the women that I have been with wanted to be "taken" if that makes any sense. About maybe 20% of these women I considered dominant.

  • No one should be submissive by principle on everything.

    But a couple should be concerned about the wishes of their partner, not putting their own intetest at first place. It's about finding (and living) a consensus, that makes both of them happy.
