because women are the "care takers" i guess there is nothing like a woman's touch, funny thing in Iraq the soldiers riding in the Skypher (orwhatever) listen to the voice of a women because in combat your more likely to listen to a womans voice rather than a man's, just an interesting fact

I think it has to do with reproduction and development.  Girls need to mature faster both mentally and physically in order to be viable birthing chambers at a sooner age. While boys are expendable and worthless in the scheme of things so nature has given them more time to develop viable social skills so they can contribute to survival of the women.

nursing involves a lot of hard work, plus being sociable, if u have it in u to serve others without feeling bad about it , then go for it.

Beta-female? Oh deary me, some people! The female equivalent using the same terms would be an alpha female. You cant have both obviously. There are lots of animals that do feature females in dominant positions though the I've never heard the term alpha females in such context. They're called matriarchies (as opposed to patriarchies) which basically means ruled by the mum.\n\nVarious eusocial insect societies are 'ruled' by their queens which are solely responsible for breeding new drones. In fact, this is significant, in nature replicating your genes is the most important goal in life so the dominant 'animals' are basically the ones who are allowed to breed and who suppress the ability to others in their group. Bumblebee queens secrete a substance that stops the workers laying eggs. When that fails she will storm around her hive eating eggs laid by any other female.\n\nRegards

this is due to some ridiculous patriarchal view that the mother bear the child-rearing thing. you see the rearing thing is considered to be motherhood. so the society thinks it is better the mommy take care the familyholds, and leave the daddy to the business thing.

Before one can master something, one must first understand it.  Heck, we don't yet understand the origin of our species.  \n\nI think the universe is safe from human domination for at least a little while.\n\n'Course the gender part of your question is interesting.  I think that when the time comes, we might need man and woman to work together to achieve universal domination.

Dominant. I have included a page with some good information if you need it.

I believe that all women at some point in their lives would like to give in and be submissive. That'll explain why playing the sexual slave is ssuc a rush for them.

Not that I really want to admit this, but you may have to change jobs.  If you choice to work in a female dominated job position, that's one of the prices you have to pay.  I'm so sorry that it happens, but it does all the time when you work with almost all females.  It happens to all Male Nurses, just BC its always been a female job.  Sorry!!!  I would say the same thing, file a suit, but its hard to prove a female sexual harassed you, they would turn it back on you and have the others back them up, not all females!!!  But, theres that word, is all I can say, and sorry

No there isn't, but my family had many servants during that era and I can tell you what each was responsible for. At least one female servant was a Wet Nurse. Women did not breast feed their own babies, it was the duty of the wet nurse. Female servants cleaned and polished furniture, prepared all meals, did laundry, dressed and cared for children of all ages, swept, mopped, if they were literate they also may have kept a "ladies journal" for their matron. Ladies Journals were pretty much a diary. They washed and set their matron's hair, but did NOT sew or repair the matron or master's clothes. They did sew/repair clothing of the children. A man's servant cared for his horse/livery, repaired leatherwork, washed and set his master's hair, and shaved the master with a straight edged razor. He also arranged liaisons with women for the sole purpose of the master's sexual pleasure. He occasionally was responsible for the training of male children, though usually they were sent to a boarding type school after a certain age. The master's servant could be responsible for bookkeeping if he was literate, though this was often NOT the case. He did not prepare meals, but did prepare beverages and deliver refreshments for the master and his guests. Usually the master's servant was also his confidant, though rarely was he trusted with financial matters. He was also responsible for laundering the master's clothes and pressing them, etc.\n\nI hope this helps you. The structure of family in the 19th century will help you to understand the role of servants in that era.

Many were very proper.  Women are women.

Women usually only have one baby at a time.  Each baby requires much attention, energy, and resources, so more than one newborn would require too much work at one time.  The biological responsibility of a woman is to nurture and care for the baby so that it grows to become a well-functioning adult.  However, men do not have to hold a baby inside for nine months, and their biological imperative is to spread their genetic material (i.e. reproduce with as many women as possible and make babies).  It's not necessarily an advantage.  It's just how we're made.

Men have this sometimes hidden, sometimes obvious desire to be dominated by a strong woman.  Female police officers are just that.  Could also be the tight pants they wear ...and the handcuffs...and the shiny glasses.....

It all goes down to a male dominated society, historically speaking.  Although some cultures do name children after their mother, if the mother is more important.

Because a woman lets down her guard and allows that man to take control over who she is.  For some, it is safer to stay within the bounds of a controlling male than it is to venture into unsafe waters.
