Women are (usually) naturally submissive. But they are taught not to be. I think this is why women are less happy these days.

There is nothing wrong with it, so long as the boyfriend or husband is aware of your limits and respects them. But there's also nothing wrong with a woman who doesn't want to be submissive.
Submissive women vary. Some are naturally that way, and some are taught to be that way. Some prefer it, and some don't.
I think it's rare that a woman is purely submissive. I think that everyone has both some dominant and some submissive inclinations.

Submissive in what way?
If you mean in the bedroom - I love it. I don't see it as a shameful or dis empowering thing, far from it. However, I wouldn't want to be like that as a lifestyle choice. I'm too much of my own person to be obedient to another human being.
I think women are encouraged to be submissive more than men are, but I also think individual personality plays a big part.
EDIT: I see. Well, I don't like being "told what to do" and just blindly obeying without question. I am perfectly capable of making decisions also.

My personal take on it is that it's hot. I think it's hot in the bedroom and outside the bedroom as well.
Is it okay for a man to expect submission from his wife? Well if it's what they've agreed to, then yes. Nothing's forcing her to agree to it so I have to assume she likes and wants it that way. I don't think he has the right to force it.
Some women are naturally submissive. Maybe they were taught it, maybe not, but once you're an adult, you now have the right and ability to decide what you want for yourself.

In a relationship, I am not submissive, but prefer for each of us to dominate whatever aspects we each excel at (or come to mutually beneficial agreements) and to make decisions as a team, and as individuals.
Sexually, I very much enjoy being submissive sometimes, and other times dominating.
As for women generally, each of us is different. Socialization (upbringing and culture), experiences, personality and our own genetic make-up are factors that all contribute to our individual inclinations.

No, that under no circumstances befell to me that i extremely deep down needed to be submissive to a guy. the position would that come from? would he take over contained in the kitchen, plan the nutrition, positioned the nutrition on the table, & plan what lunches i'd take to artwork? i ought to provide my critiques for sure, yet he would ascertain & merely bypass & get it. would he do all the laundry & ascertain I had sparkling clothing to positioned on on Monday? per chance i'd merely help out slightly. Takes plenty to run a loved ones, so i'd vow to assist him some. per chance I must have married & landed some guy to seem after all that. ok. Now i'm starting up to get it. There will be some reward. Now i'm questioning if adult men would have a similar feeling about women human beings. would they opt for a woman to take charge of their lives & tell them what to do? probable deep down, that they'd extremely like that. I take it it truly is a few type of television prepare that you're declaring. do not comprehend what that 3 women human beings & a million guy component is all about. i don't have a television. i think if I did & had some hypothetical guy are available in & take charge, we would have activities all weekend filling the domicile with the noise. That & there would consistently be some episode of a something or different prepare about 3 women human beings & a million guy. Oh, expensive. Now i'm no longer so particular about him taking charge of the distant administration of this hypothetical television. No, that does no longer artwork in any respect.

I've always kind of adjusted to the man I'm with. With a very dominant personality I tend to be more submissive. If the man is very mild mannered I find myself bossing him around. I prefer the kind of relationship I'm in now, where neither of us are in charge- we decide on things together.

I'm against it; however if this is your bag carry on; I won't tell you you can't; however what I believe it is, is when all is said and done he makes up her mind for her, such as when Rufus decided he's the one who wears the pants in the family he took and threw Tillie's out nor did he consult her on the matter. When Rufus decides they're going on a visit; they're going on a visit, nor does he tell Tillie she's going; she knows she's going; unless he states otherwise; Tillie is to do *what he wants* to do, whether she likes it or not. When he decided Tillie was to do as is told; she had no choice in that matter; either.
Yes, some women naturally want a man to make *all* the decisions; others have to be taught, such as what Rufus did when he decided only he wears the pants in the family.
Being told what to do doesn't always mean being submissive; just because a submissive does as is told it doesn't mean she's doing as is told; for instance; when Clovis decides they're going on a visit he never *tells* Tillie she's has to go; rather, he makes sure of it; in order for one to do as is told they have to be told to do something first; all he cares about is for Tillie to do *what he wants* to do.
Another example: Rufus told Tillie to do A and she vehemently refused to do it he let it go; however, when time passed and she wanted to do B; in fact, she wanted to do it so bad she could taste it, she couldn't; unless, she got his permission first, in order for her to get it she had to do A; he, finally, got her to do it, and then at the very last minute he changed his mind and refused to let her do B; he had no intention on letting her do B in the first place; he was using it as leverage to get her to do A; it worked. No matter which way she turned Rufus was making her mind up for her.

in the bedroom- i think, most women WANT to be dominated by men in that department and most guys prefer it that way.
making decisions- I think it should be a joint decision. no one should order the other around..but if a woman wants to be submissive, i see no problem with it as long as the husband does not treat her like a doormat.
