Extremely powerful and assertive women were able to dominate their husbands.

The woman wants to dominate, the man wants to be dominated[.]

There's a type of woman who isn't content until she's made herself some man's slave and doormat—put herself completely in his power.

A woman who gives any advantage to a man may expect a lover — but will sooner or later find a tyrant.

Generally when a woman is attacked by a man -- whether her husband or some other man -- she enjoys the attack, being too lusty.

Women like not only to conquer, but to be conquered.

I always run into strong women who are looking for weak men to dominate them.

Females who agree to be property are the survivors. Belonging to a mature, powerful male guarantees his protection for her and her children and raises the female's rank in the primate society. The higher the rank, the less she is harassed and the more she gets to eat. Over millions of years, therefore, it has become instinctive for females to mate with the most dangerous, most dominant male they can attract.

I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.

(Television) Men are naturally more aggressive than women. (Sylvia) All the more reason to keep them locked up after dark.

I've noticed that whenever a woman's willin' to be imposed upon there's always a man standin' 'round ready to do the imposin'.

The female has learned by long experience to win by losing, to wield power in the passive-aggressive manner of the sadomasochist.

[R]ape by a conqueror is compelling evidence of the conquered's status of masculine impotence. Defense of women has long been a hallmark of masculine success. Rape by a conquering soldier destroys all remaining illusions of power and property for men of the defeated side. The body of a raped woman becomes a ceremonial battlefield, a parade ground for the victor's trooping of the colors. The act that is played out upon her is a message passed between men - vivid proof of victory for one and loss and defeat for the other.

Rosamond felt herself beginning to know a great deal of the world, especially in discovering what when she was in her unmarried girlhood had been inconceivable to her except as a dim tragedy in by-gone costumes— that women, even after marriage, might make conquests and enslave men. Still, vanity, with a woman's whole mind and day to work in, can construct abundantly on slight hints, especially on such a hint as the possibility of indefinite conquests. How delightful to make captives from the throne of marriage with a husband as crown-prince by your side—himself in fact a subject— while the captives look up forever hopeless, losing their rest probably, and if their appetite too, so much the better!
