ALPHA-FEMALE beta-male: A Good man Is Hard To Find?

In keeping with the recent surge of mainstream articles on the growing trend of Female breadwinners this commentary appeared in the past few days. i present it in its entirety followed by a few thoughts of my own.

What if women don’t need guys any more?
By MARGARET WENTE From Saturday’s Globe and Mail
In this new world of economic opportunity, female breadwinners are flourishing. Unfortunately, many men aren’t
Magdalena Hinojosa, a striking-looking single woman, is a senior associate vice-president at the University of Texas. She’s learned that her job makes men uneasy. So when they ask her what she does, she simply tells them she works at the university, in the admissions office. “You have to hide who you are, at the beginning, until that person is comfortable with you,” she says.
Liza Mundy, author of the just-published book The Richer Sex, met Ms. Hinojosa and a lot of other women like her. There’s Sami, the software engineer who tells men she’s a music teacher. There’s the young lawyer and her colleagues who tell men they work as hairstylists when they go out on the town. They have a lot more fun that way.
These are just some of the intricate sexual politics of a world in which women are rapidly becoming the major breadwinners. The statistics are arresting. Women in America now earn almost half the family income, and more than half in lower-income families. Forty per cent of wives now outearn their husbands. And the gender gap is closing fast. The median income of young, unmarried urban women in their 20s is now higher than the men’s.
Education is a major reason why. Women, especially minority women, are pursuing higher education at much greater rates than men. They’re primed for work in the knowledge economy, which is where most of the new jobs will be. “College is built for the female brain,” anthropologist Helen Fisher told Ms. Mundy. “What do you do in college? You sit. You read. You write and you talk.” Over the past 30 years, women’s earnings have been growing while men’s earnings have stagnated.
Meantime, as women’s attachment to the work force grows, men’s attachment has been shrinking. By 2006, even before the job losses of the Great Recession, just 66 per cent of men of prime working age (25 to 64) were employed full-time, down from 80 per cent in 1970.
Where did all those working men go? It’s not that the jobs dried up - their desire to work did. Older blue-collar men who’ve been laid off are often reluctant to take jobs they think are beneath them. Even men with higher education are less interested in work. Researchers have found that many non-working men spend much of their free time in “leisure activities and sleep.” Non-working women, by contrast, spend much of their free time in child care and housework.
   
Today, a lot of younger women simply don’t need guys any more. Guys can even be a liability. The New York Times reported last month that, in the U.S., having children outside of marriage is the new normal. More than half of births to American women under 30 now occur outside marriage. One mother, Amber Strader, 27, told the Times she was in an on-and-off relationship when she got pregnant. Marrying her boyfriend, a clerk at Sears, never entered her mind. “It was like living with another kid.”
If illegitimacy has lost its stigma, so has being out of work. Men who failed to provide for their families used to be known as “bums” and “deadbeats.” Now they’re just slackers.
The Richer Sex assembles plenty of evidence that, as women’s ambition is on the rise, men’s ambition is shrinking. Younger women are more focused and achievement-oriented than younger men. They have realistic career goals. Many younger men have no idea what they want to do or be. Younger women in the work force are eager for more responsibility. Younger men aren’t; they’re happy just to get by.
Women are flourishing in this new world. But many men aren’t. Men have always defined themselves as providers - it’s the main source of their identity. What happens when they aren’t needed as providers any more? What happens when their sense of purpose is lost? The answer is, they become unmoored. They stop being adults. “I’m kind of losing hope in men,” one high-achieving woman told Ms. Mundy. “My husband and his friends, they just love being bachelors - they love to hang around and smoke pot.”
As usual, men and women at the top of the socio-economic ladder have it easier. Their education levels are more equal, and it’s they who’ve benefited the most from the big incomes that wives can earn. But even the most affluent, educated people have fairly traditional hopes about their future mates. Women still want someone to look up to, someone who can pull his weight. Men are thrilled to marry women they regard as equals. But women who are far more successful than they are can make them feel demoralized and inadequate.
Has women’s success come at the expense of men? I’m not about to argue that. Society is better off because women have far more opportunity and can make more contributions to the world. Millions of men are proud of their accomplished wives, and proud to be devoted fathers. Gender roles are far more flexible than we ever thought, and people are capable of creative arrangements that benefit everyone. But the world has shifted beneath our feet, in ways we don’t yet fully understand. It’s going to take some time to work things out. Meantime, women such as Magdalena Hinojosa still find it hard to get a date.
Firstly, the column does a nice job of setting up the current situation and providing some statistics and examples which nicely illustrate this rapidly growing trend. i think that it is both true and a bit sad that these Women have to sell their own success short to avoid putting off a prospective male. i can however see that it is true that many men are quite intimidated by strong, successful Women. After all it can be difficult enough not to be intimidated by Women's beauty and sexual power let alone adding Her striking intelligence and financial independence to the mix. i would not say that guys are necessarily put off Women's success and intelligence just that that many will be intimidated by that. The whole mix puts males at a distinct disadvantage though i would argue that perhaps the Women don’t fully realize just how many Males would actually find all this Female power quite exciting. Also i think again that many guys want to be with successful women but when they meet Them there may be issues of self-confidence and intimidation at play.

On the following points in the article i will certainly concede that there seems to be an ambition gap between Females and males today. The Girls seem to have a laser-like focus on hitting all the milestones needed to build a successful career and life. Many males are indeed finding that their traditional strengths, mainly physical, are not so much in less demand as they are less valued financially. It also seems clear to me that closing that gap is not merely a matter of convincing boys to stay in school. As education test scores seem to be demonstrating, the Girls are simply better at most of the tasks valued in the modern job market (communication and organizational skills for example). If those differences are biological, and i believe they most likely are, then males will be at a permanent disadvantage in the modern economy. males, it would seem are unable to earn their desired income levels in traditional jobs while hitting the limits of their abilities in competing with Females in the faster growing and more lucrative segments of the economy. This i feel goes some way to explaining the ambition gap. i feel that one obvious solution to this is for males to simply accept their secondary roles in relationships with Females. Being in a relationship where he is providing support for Her is in fact quite a meaningful and satisfying life, as i know from personal experience. It is only right though, that Women demand a lot from their men. Today's successful Alpha-Females should demand no less than a mate who puts his full energy into satisfying Her needs (domestically,socially, emotionally, sexually etc) and helping Her to fulfill Her ambitions. i don’t see any reason Women should have put up with ‘slackers’ nor do i see a lot of evidence that Women are tolerant of males natural inclinations in this direction. males who step up by stepping back, i believe, are they very prototype of the happy, successful men of today and tomorrow.

The author asks if Women’s success has come at the expense of men but backs away from giving an opinion. i won’t let it slip though. i think it is clear that Women’s success has come at the expense of men and i feel that this is for the best. Society as a whole will be better off for it.

Are we males supposed to be jealous, hurt and angry because Women are out-competing us?

Should we feel this way because Females are simply demonstrating their superiority?

Women are superior! Lets just acknowledge that and celebrate it.

Celebrating Her Success: Post Script

Just a note on my previous post. In celebration of Her promotion my Girlfriend informed me that She and two of Her Girlfriends will be having an Girls-only weekend in New York City in May. i spent the past couple of days helping them make arrangements. Looks like it will be a blast. No boys allowed, and no, i am not concerned about what They get up to on Their weekend. The Girl's business is just that, Their business and none of mine.

Celebrating Her Success

i am part of a growing trend it seems

The Present and the Future

As i mentioned at the beginning of this blog i am in a long term relationship with my own personal Goddess. She is amazingly smart, successful, ambitious, beautiful, and yes, dominant. As i mentioned previously She was earning about 25% more than me in Her career than i was in mine and i expected Her to widen that gap with a pending promotion. Well last week right on time She received a promotion into a more senior management position with a commensurate bump in salary to the point that She will be earning 50% more than me from now on. How do i feel about this? Well just great actually! i can't think of anyone more deserving of success. You/you may be wondering if my ego is feeling a bit bruised after this but the answer is an emphatic no. She has always been the leader in our relationship and i knew from early on that She viewed Women as more competent, capable and intelligent than men. She has always had strong Feminist (Female Supremacist really) beliefs and has never been shy about sharing Her opinions with me. She has always expected me to fall into line behind Her leadership and doing so has given me a life filled with purpose and contentment. Yes, She can be quite demanding at times but i always feel i am made to be a better person by following Her direction. Of course just because i am overjoyed with Her success doesn't mean that She hasn't taken the news as an opportunity to tease me just a little. She has taken to calling Herself my "sugar-momma" (even in front of our friends) and pointing out that She is earning so much now that i don't even have to work anymore for us to live very comfortably (a hint i wonder?). She does enjoy playfully humiliating me at times, probably because She knows how much that triggers my submissive feelings towards Her.  

Something we both enjoy the benefits of.

FemSupreme Music Videos : Physical By Olivia Newton John

My next video up for discussion. i am writing up my thoughts, in the meantime enjoy the video.

Yet another 80’s video, in this case very early, is Olivia Newton Johns “Physical”. The song lyrics themselves are pretty obvious but for the video the director decided to go with a mix of beefcake and humor. I guess the FemSupreme angle on this video comes from Newton John’s role as a fitness instructor whipping these guys into shape, pushing them to do all kinds of physical exertion in the name of making them atheistically appealing. My favorite bit is of course how the newly transformed males are presented as displaying their newly developed assets for Her as She eyes them up and down and feels their newly muscular contours. The g-strings the  guys are wearing are a nice touch as well, displaying their tight butts and a nice protruding bulge at the front that leaves little to the imagination in terms of their package size. It's this simple, raw sexualization of males that makes this a hot (if campy) FemSupreme music video and worthy of being on the list.

From the wikipedia “The provocative lyrics of the title track prompted two Utah radio stations to ban the single from their playlists.[32] (In 2010, Billboard magazine ranked this as the most popular single ever about sex.)[33] To counter its overtly suggestive tone, Newton-John filmed an exercise-themed video that turned the song into an aerobics anthem and made headbands a fashion accessory outside the gym”

Anklet Anecdote

Speaking of anklets i was reminded of a co-worker i had about 10 years ago named Karen. She was a cute, short-haired blond with long legs who had no problem getting my attention on any day. However one particularly hot summer day She arrived at work in cute denim shorts and, what caught my gaze almost instantly, a delicate gold anklet on Her right leg. It nearly took my breath away so that even 10 years on i remember that day almost photographically. Just the site of that little chain hanging around Her beautiful, delicate ankle stirred up the some of the deepest submissive feelings i have ever had. i found myself taking furtive glances down towards Her foot all day long. Towards the end of the day we were working together sitting side by side and i think i spent the whole time staring down at her foot as She crossed Her legs and dangled it almost in front of me. i have no idea if She was doing this on purpose or had any insight into just what a profound effect She was having on me but it was all i could do to avert my gaze. 

Anklets are amazing things. 

They draw a males gaze down the length of a Woman's leg towards Her foot, forcing him to almost unconsciously bow his head in deference to Her. i think that if Karen had asked me to drop to my knees right there and kiss Her foot i would have had my lips upon Her before She had even finished Her request. 

Sigh...

P.S. the blond in the photo i chose to illustrate the ball busting article below is an almost doppelgänger version of Karen. i think that's one reason i like that particular image so much.

Ball Busting : What to Make of it?

One of the most popular Femdom acts among males is one that would be least likely to be expected, ball busting. A quick web search can turn up an almost countless variety of videos and images of this topic. It typically consists of a male being ordered by a Superior Female to strip and ‘assume the position’, hands behind his back or behind his head, legs spread wide. Typically the Female will then, often after some teasingly fake kicks, strike like a viper  hard against the balls and or cock. The male is then seen crying out, bending over in pain, or if the kick is particularly precise, falling to his hands and knees before his Feminine tormentor, gasping in pain. In other cases ball busting can consist of the Female grabbing the males ball sac firmly in Her hand and giving it a harsh squeeze and/or pull. Again causing the hapless male excruciating pain. Sometimes She will grab his manhood tightly, possessively, and give it a hard smack with Her hand or a riding crop, with predictable results. In other cases the Female will simply crush his maleness beneath her beautiful feet (as illustrated). Why on earth would so many males crave an activity which on the male pain scale goes all the way to 11 (to infinity and beyond!!)? Think about it. Among males hitting below the belt is almost universally considered off limits and socially unacceptable.

i think therefore that it has everything to do with the males deep craving for submission to the Feminine. What more elemental form can this submission take than to surrender the literal essence of his manhood to Her? To offer it up as a form of sacrifice, accepting that it is Her Divine right to punish and control that which is male, to make it suffer for Her, to accept Her punishment and judgement for its sins. What is so striking, i think, is that males, in accepting ball busting, so completely submit to Her.  No real resistance is offered, they strip away their clothing, remove their hands and legs from providing any protection. All of this is completely voluntary, usually the males are not even restrained, they simply submit and expose themselves to Her wrath. Their manhood's are crushed by Her blows, they suffer, then pull themselves up upon Her command and accept the next round, continuing until She is satisfied with their level of submission, suffering and humiliation. And don’t discount just how humiliating an activity this is. The male is literally saying to the Female, 'my very essence as a male belongs to You, You control me'. All pretense of free will is surrendered. It is also in this deep humiliation that the male actually derives great pleasure in a almost perverse way. That which humiliates him and makes him suffer only fuels his desire to submit to Her Will, Her Control, Her Judgement and Her Beauty.

i am also struck by a few other thoughts here. The male anatomy of course makes ball busting easy. In a way it could be argued that balls tilt the advantage to the Female. Despite the males typical size and strength advantage it is as if he has an override switch in the form of his exposed, freely swinging ball sac which the Female can simply smack to knock down any undesirable behavior. A swift kick or slap sends any hulking  male collapsing at Her feet, immobilized in pain. i also find it interesting that the typical gesture of a male upon receiving such a blow is to bow forward and/or fall to his hands and knees, prostrated towards She who struck him. i think Mother Nature is sending a not so subtle message there. Not only can Women control males with Feminine beauty and superior intelligence but nature has even given them another tool to use against the male. his very maleness! Her deadly combination of Beauty and Smarts coupled with the always implied threat of simple, agonizing pain give Women all they need to channel the males physical strength and energy for Her greater purposes.

his tool is, in reality, Her tool.

Yet another expression of Girl Power

Rough Saturday Night

One of the toughest things about being in a relationship with a hard-charging, successful dominant Women is that She expects my very best work at all times, no matter what. This past Saturday night we were having one of our regular intimate weekend evenings, i was quite enjoying myself, giving Her a full body message and bringing Her to Her first climax of the evening when She pulled away from me suddenly, which is never a good thing. She bored into my eyes with Her beautiful Browns and said simply, “ I don’t think your giving this your 100% effort” She then proceeded to give me one of Her dreaded interrogations wherein She asks a pointed question and stares into my soul, without saying a word, waiting for what seems like an eternity for an answer that satisfies. i always feel like a deer in headlights during these times. She wants, no demands, complete emotional surrender and won’t accept any response until She determines i am not holding anything back. I never feel so naked (both physically and emotionally) as i do during Her interrogations.

The truthful answer is that She was, of course, right. i really was struggling to give myself 100% to Her. With warm spring weather in the air She decided that it was time for spring cleaning as well. So I spent the day washing windows, vacuuming, doing laundry and generally running around at a frenetic pace just keeping up with Her latest demands. So i was simply bushed as we retired to the bedroom that evening.

I don’t like to admit that i can’t keep up with my duties but after the integration was forced to admit my limits. She understood and let me continue pleasing Her some more before saying that was enough for tonight, we can continue in the morning.

"I never call them guys. I always called them boys. Maybe it's a superiority complex--my needing to keep them down...
Women hold the power because we have the vaginas. If you're in a heterosexual relationship and you're a female, you win."  - Megan Fox

“This is really something that’s been building and there’s no reason that I can see why it won’t continue [or] go over 50 per cent,” says Liza Mundy, a journalist for the Washington Post and author of the forthcoming book The Richer Sex: How the New Majority of Female Breadwinners is Transforming Sex, Love and Family. In fact, the momentum has prompted Mundy and observers like her to ask one very loaded question about the future: “Could we get to a world where that becomes the norm—where if the wife is working she’s likely out-earning her husband?”


In reading a recent article on the growing phenomenon of Women bread winners (now at about 35 % of couples and rising steadily) i was very pleased that this growing trend is breaking into the mainstream media but I had a few thoughts of my own (not surprisingly).  While the article i feel strikes the right tone in praising this growing trend and even predicting that this will soon be the new normal in the majority of F/m relationships i was struck by some of the discussion about the problems this is causing in some relationships. It seem to me in virtually all instances where this becomes an issue it really is the mans fault. The problems seem to break into two groups. One where the males ego is bruised by his Wife/Girlfriends seeming ease in out-earning and out-advancing him and the other occurring when he does not take on a share of the domestic duties consummate with his role as the lesser earner. It seems some males just don’t get the idea that if She is doing the work to support the couple economically then he should be doing the support on the home front to compensate (cooking, cleaning, errands etc). I noticed that this seem to be a problem, at least in the couples profiled, among somewhat older couples (40+ or maybe closer to 50+). I wonder if younger males in their teens, 20’s and 30’s feel the same way? After all these guys are by now well used to being outclassed by Females in school and in a growing number of professions. They, i imagine, would be far more amicable to this new world order, having grown up in an Alpha-Female world were they are surrounded by hyper-smart, ambitious, focused Girls (a Girl-Power culture if you will). i guess like all change there will always be a certain level of friction but it seems to me the faster males get with the new program the more harmonious our societies and relationships will be.

FinDom FemDom. What to make of it?

I was thinking recently about the online proliferation of FinDom (Financial Domination or exploitation of males by Females) while looking though the profiles of many Females on twitter (in this case) and I started to think about this phenomenon in a Female Domination / Female Supremacy context. As a strong believer in the Supremacy of Females I’ll state up front that i see nothing wrong with Women exploiting men in any way they see fit, we exist to serve as far as i am concerned. That said it got me to thinking more broadly about this topic and asking myself a few questions such as ; 

1) Is this really a new thing? No, not at all. Females have been subtly and not so subtly exploiting males forever*** but like with so many things the web vastly expands and proliferates our knowledge of it. Think about it. I remember in junior high and high school the site of attractive Girls having boys carry their books home from school, wash Their cars, drive Them wherever ever they wanted to go, pay for dates and presents. I myself can remember a Girl calling me up one time and asking me to come over to Her house to set up Her new computer. i wasn’t even dating this Girl, i didn’t even know Her very well, but i was at Her front door about 10 minutes later. What gives? Well at about that age boys of course become enthralled by Girls and fueled by raging hormones of course and will do just about anything to gain Their attention and approval. Of course from the boys perspective this is all about sex, the idea that if they can gain Her precious approval it will lead to Her granting of ultimate satisfaction. Of course from the Girls point of view this is usually ridiculous. They have no intention of granting sexual favours to boys (at least not most boys) but many do welcome the attention and see an opportunity to exploit this new found male weakness. males become so enthralled they will do just about anything for the Girls no matter how objectively irrational it may seem. Many will take advantage. After all, why let all that testosterone fueled energy go to waste? It actually works for both sides. The guys get to spend time with the Girls, which is what they want more than anything and the Girls get some flattering attention and a personal and willing helper to make their lives easier and more enjoyable. At that age a new dynamic is established. Suddenly the Girls have Power over the boys. They know it and the boys know it as well (no matter how much they want to deny it they know it to be true). It may vary in how much and to what extent the Girls take advantage of this newfound power but many exploit it pretty aggressively. Is this Female Dominance? Well yes of course it is even if it isn’t stated explicitly and financial dominance is often a component of this. 2) FinDom and the Alpha-Female? Now when I began dating seriously dating in a pool of highly educated alpha-girls I suddenly saw a shift away from the high school model. Suddenly I was confronted with bright, attractive, super-smart Women who in no way wanted me to pay Their way in anything, not even on a date. At first i found this pretty confusing coming after my high school experiences but i soon figured out after seeing it a few times that this was Their way of ensuring that no male has any leverage or power over them. They were making sure they owe men nothing and any expectations that the males may have are not relevant. Only Her expectations are relevant. This actually makes a lot of sense. At that age males are starting to have increased financial resources and naturally they think that maybe, just maybe, they can re-balance the power dynamic in relationships, trying to balance Her Sexual Power with his own financial power. Of course this is again not very smart thinking as these Girls now have as much or more financial resources than pretty much any guy. 3) So what then is up with the popularity of FinDOM? Well I think what we may be seeing is Women developing a more nuanced/balanced attitude towards males and their money. It may be that today's (generation 2 or 3) Alpha-Female can have it both ways. On the one hand there are plenty of males out there only too willing to trade their resources (money or gifts) in the hope of gaining the attention of a desirable Female. This is undoubtedly true, males i believe are hard-wired with this dynamic, we feel we must give to the Female in return for Her attention and affection. No matter how illogical or irrational this belief is we males still act this way almost impulsively. It seems to be a core part of what we are and what we need. i believe also that as Women gain more and more power in society it drives males natural submissiveness towards Females in general. Don’t doubt for a second that this submissive element is really there. males understand Female Sexual Power innately, we can literally feel it. we naturally give to the Female our time, energy, resources in a way that can only be described as a gesture of submission to Her Will and Priorities. we give up our freedom to Her. The expression of a man being ‘whipped’ is tossed around so often that it takes on the aura of ‘it’s funny because it’s true’. men make this joke to each other, i think, more often than Women make it about men, we acknowledge Women’s Power over us to each other even if only in a joking way. we know it to be true. Women know it to be true as well. i think that Women today are becoming so confidant in their dealings with males because They understand Their sexual, financial and intellectual advantage over males and think little of using these powers to Their advantage. It may be that in a dating situation today’s Women won’t permit a male to gain any advantage but once a stronger more developed relationship takes hold something changes. i know in my own experience it went from ‘I am paying My own way’ to “you are paying for that”. i think that today many Women have little hesitation in both exploiting males while being able to retain all the power in the dynamic. Online this is even easier as the exploited male can simply transfer his resources to Her virtually without the Female ever having to really allow him into Her life. Yet it still provides the means for Her to interact with and show him some attention, which is what he craves. This allows his submissiveness to be further energized as She receives his tributes to Her Beauty and Power. 4) Isn’t this just flagrant abuse of males? Well yes and no. Understand that males crave submitting to Females, we enjoy it, even the humiliation involved feels good to us. we assume that many Women enjoy not just their Power but the explicit acknowledgement of Her Power that we make in so submitting. It brings rewards to those exploited males and to those Goddesses who exploit us. For those males in a real offline relationship with their own personal Goddess we get to live this dynamic on a daily basis but for many others the FinDom route offers them an opportunity to worship a Female Deity even if She does not take him as Her personal off-line submissive. Just the opportunity to submit and worship fulfills a deep need within males. That Women may benefit from that seems only natural to me. 5) But can it go too far? Sure, of course. If a male gives so much of his resources to his FinDominatrix that it completely destroys his life or makes him more resentful than worshipful towards Women then that is clearly not healthy. Also if it becomes so all consuming that it takes him away from opportunities to meet a real in-the-flesh Goddess and develop a relationship with Her this is again not healthy. It would seem that balance it the key as in many things. Also we are talking about adults here who in addition to strong desires and urges also have free will and can make their own decisions. If a male chooses to worship a Female in a FinDom relationship and the Female wishes to be worshiped this way then so be it, that is Their/their choice. As always the male makes a choice to submit and the Female chooses to accept his submission.

***Yes i am well aware that males have brutally/violently exploited Females forever as well but that is a form of repulsive exploitation beyond the scope of this article.

FemSupreme Music Videos : Beyoncé - Run The World (Girls)

This video is yet another example of one with very strong FemSupreme themes and imagery only more contemporary than the Bannarama video i discussed earlier. It opens with Beyonce riding on Her horse through a wasteland of destruction, the detritus of an oppressive patriarchy. We then see flashes of a Feminine awaking. The beautiful Woman pounds Her fists in anger, another emerges from Her cage, the sacrificial Female dismounts the cross. We see a flash of a bull, an obvious male symbol followed by a gang of militaristic male thugs charging forward. Only this time they encounter a large group of Women, united against them, a male lion lies passively at their feet, another symbol of male savagery tamed. Beyonce, resplendent in gold like a Queen, leaves the group and advances with absolute confidence towards the attacking males. The males stop, uncertain what to do and of what they are dealing with. Beyonce gives them a cold look and all the women salute and gesture in unison, showing that they are united and strong. She then opens the song with the lyrics sending a message to the confused males (Who runs this Mf’ing world? GIRLS!). She then walks among them pushing them, teasing them, showing them Her lack of respect for what they represent. She literally divides them and forces them to follow. She gives them the finger and puts Her foot down. There is a quick cut scene where She holds two dangerous wild animals in chains, symbolizing Her power (an overt Femdom image?). The males begin to cower with fear as the extent of Her power and strength become apparent to them. The Women advance on the males in a highly sexualized dance routine displaying their Sexual Power to the males who begin to fall back. The males attempt to regroup and advance but by this time the legions of Females arrayed against them are too large. I’m a little disappointed that the video ends without being taken to its logical conclusion but in the final scene Beyonce advances on the male leader and strips away a symbol of his authority and if i am not mistaken he makes an expression as if he likes it.

Lyrics

Girls, we run this motha (yeah!) x4
GIRLS!

Who run the world? Girls! x4

I'm repping for the girls who taking over the world
Have me raise a glass for the college grads

Anyone rolling I'll let you know what time it is
You can't hold me
I broke my 9 to 5 and copped my cheque
This goes out to all the women getting it in,
Get on your grind
To the other men that respect what I do
Please accept my shine

How we're smart enough to make these millions
Strong enough to bare the children

I will never understand conventional male-oriented porn that portrays Women in bondage. How could such Beauty, such Power, such Intensity be contained? What male would want a Female so contained.
