History of humanity is full of hierarchy, domination and submissive behavior. The latter was often the key of survival. But also in the animal world is important ("alpha males", deer fighting for power).

With the advance of humanity, I see more and more human relations without hierarchy. Independent farmers, freelancers, entrepreneurs. Also in families we find more "democratic" structures. That is progress. Equality is also an important condition for democracy.

I like to play domination games in bed but hate hierarchy in the real life. Another reason to make myself independent in my profession...
