You are asking me a hypothetical question about a dynamic that you don't actually subscribe to. I see no need to comment any further on that beyond what I've already said about it.

How about you explain to me what would be so wrong with having an actual partnership where you talk about and make decisions together as a team? Where you didn't have any kind of hierarchy in your intimate relationship? That's something that is a lot more intrinsically innate to humans.

"Self-determination theory holds that human beings need three basic things in order to be content: they need to feel competent at what they do; they need to feel authentic in their lives; and they need to feel connected to others. These values are considered “intrinsic” to human happiness and far outweigh “extrinsic” values such as beauty, money, and status."
