Sounds like you don't want a relationship between equal partners.  You
want the traditional dominant/submissive relationship. As long as
you're the dominant one, it's ok?

I think there is something wrong with anyone who would accept the kind
of relationship you and Ellen are advocating, whether male or female.
However, you seem like too intelligent a person to expect people to
