A female-led relationship is a relationship or marriage where
both partners make a conscious decision for the woman to be
head of household and the man her helpmate
Matriarchal style of living is out of step with mainstream
society and leaves those of us who are happy in the lifestyle
feeling isolated. Living in a female-led relationship is a viable alternative to traditional marriage for certain women and men. Not all personality types are suited to this kind of relationship, but those who are have a unique set of desires, strengths and personality traits that are better expressed in a non-traditional kind of relationship.

Oh yes! Some women, such as myself, are fabulous at a lot of things but would chafe under the patriarchal bit. My husband was the stay-at-home parent while I went to university and is the primary caregiver now too. I enjoy having a complicated career and he seems pretty happy running errands, tending to household issues and whatnot. I think that a matriarchal structure for a family is nearly required for career women and affords their spouses a lot more flexibility with their schedules and jobs.

I believe the Matriarchal, Female led relationship or Wife led marriage is the most ideal, and natural gender role fulfillment. I also believe Matriarchy is the future of society, and that eventually it will be widely assumed, understood or accepted that a married woman is the head of her household and family, and the husband is under her authority and the woman will be considered to wear the pants in her relationships.
I think the closer society gets to that, the better off it will be.

You know what would be better? If relationships weren't "Ruler/Ruled" relationships, but equal relationships between two equal human beings.
Sometimes relationships are between a more forceful and less forceful, go-alongy type person. In that case, the relationship is "led" more by the more forceful personality. If they are both happy, then that's what matters.
But in the best relationships, neither is the master or slave; they are equals. Sometimes one takes the lead, sometimes the other, but most often no one does, and they make mutually-agreed upon decisions.

I would certainly value more equality in my relationship. Like the Woman above who has to tell Her b/f to make more decisions, I often feel like all responsibility is left to me. It gets a tad frustrating at times.
I don't disagree with a Female-led relationship, but I haven't seen nor read about any, so I can't really base a decision on it. I think the concept is interesting, but I would think that it is entirely dependent upon the personalities involved.

No. Yes. No. Okay, Yes. The physical proximit isn't the most important part. If the two of you have pretty good 'insincerity alarms' you will get to know each other just as well, maybe better, without the inconsistency of physical presence as an obstacle. But... I wouldn't go looking for romance online. I'm open to it, if it starts to happen.

Whatever works for the individuals. Women often make more in their jobs and men may prefer to raise the children. I think we are getting away from insisting on traditional roles and are mainly accepting of whatever each couple decides.

Women dont like beeing on top all the time. You can take the most submissive man there is and the most domineering woman, she is still gonna want him to be assertive and masculine at times. The best way to kill feminism is to give in in all the demands a feminist woman ushers, she aint going to want feminism afterwards, but she aint going to want you as well.

I am constantly having to tell my b/f to take make decisions...it's tiring. I do not think I would like any one-sided relationship. I like it 50/50 (or 100/100 if you want to look at it that way).
