sure they are, you just have to accept the fact that men are better in some things than woman and vice versa, it works in other societies, it's just religious fanatics that want to make us believe that a woman has a certain role to fill in our society, and if she does choose to be different she is either a witch or a communist or both.
Sure between 2 partners there will always be one who is more of a leader bolder and less afraid, but simply to believe that these have to be men just because we have bigger biceps is stupid... the mind is a terrible weapon.
In society men and women must be equal in all ways.
Within the context of a romantic relationships, there are different roles to be played out.
This is even stated in abundance in evolutionary psychology.
Try this: Date women and let them run the show.
Then date a bunch of other women and run the show yourself (lead).
Log what gives the best results.
Also spot the behaviours of men that get a lot of poontang.
The alpha male always wins.
The standard stereotype for males these days are far from what we were meant to be.
Ask this to a lot of mature women, and they will even agree after a bit of denial.
