The Future of F/m Relationships
The past several decades have thankfully seen huge changes in gender perceptions and relationships. Even the average American isn’t quite as silly as in the past. No one (openly) laughs at the idea of female engineers nowadays.
At least among the educated men are more likely to do some of the cooking and a substantial portion of child rearing.
Female sexual needs are hidden behind polite fictions (lies). Men get to cry. Some even to use cosmetics.
As general and sexual relationship among heterosexuals shift surely the fetish lives will as well. If you had a crystal ball or temporal television how would you expect to see relationships among dominant women and submissive guys change and hopefully evolve?

True.
However, this is deceiving. I have met many women in very senior positions in business and my impression is that they take this no further. I have worked for one such woman and in her personal life she is not the leader.
The observation you make is wonderful. I only wish that reality was as positive. I think that we- us males who are submissive- who do find ourselves with such a woman requiring the leadership role… well, so lucky we would be!

I went from one world to the other. I stopped flying airplanes for the Air Force, just as the first women were making their way into the cockpit. I had never flown with a woman (other than Mrs. Mule in a non-military context), and have rarely seen female pilots.
This was still in the day when political correctness hadn’t made its way on the scene. Since then Happy Hours have given way to “alcohol abatement,” cigarettes are no longer tax exempt, strippers no longer perform at the stag bar.
I went from this all-male (forget male dominated, the pilot’s club was strictly, “no girls allowed”) environment for civilian work in software development.
Computers had existed before my time, but they were just breaking out of the huge computer centers of the mainframe era and the field of software development had just opened up.
It was a new career field. Nobody knew if it was supposed to be for men or women. My first encounter happened on my first couple of days on the job when I attended a design meeting and this elderly lady was asked for her input. “Who is this woman?” It turns out she was an electrical engineer like me. She had gotten her degree in the 1960’s.
I went on to join a team that was still mostly male, but had a significant number of females. It was the first time in my life that I had women as peers as coworkers.
I joined the National Guard and finished out my career as a communications officer. Some comm officers work out of an office. My unit worked out of tents. Yet we had a lot of women in the unit. I mentored some of them and they have subsequently went on to be commanders of their own units.
Technically speaking, I worked for Mrs. Mule when we owned our own business. She was President and CEO, I was FBMSDPBB - financial backing, moral support, data processing and beast of burden. Mrs. Mule is a hard leader - I would work for her any day, but would not want to be in the position of working against her. She is far less aggressive at home.
However, it wasn’t until quite recently that I had a woman as a boss in the outside world. By this time, it didn’t seem to matter.
Over my 45 years of working, I’ve seen more and more women in leadership positions. Maybe there is some factor other than randomness at work here. Some of them are just a big a jerk as their male counterparts, but a much higher proportion of them are the type of boss I want to work for.
