A female-led relationship benefits both partners and gender, and not just the other. It frees them from the stereotypes and empowers them to benefit themselves, their relationship, and family. Having more female led relationships can improve social cohesion, because of more diversity of thoughts.

Read More »A female-led relationship is one in which the woman shares the responsibilities with her partner and where a woman has a certain degree of freedom vis-a-vis her partner Many of us want to have that special someone, romantic partner, or significant other, that someone we want to spend the rest of our lives with. If we are lucky, we find that someone and enter into a relationship and try to work it out as we go on with our lives. Despite all the simplicities of a relationship, in truth, having a life partner, and being in a relationship, is a complex, intricate process. Differences in personalities, attitudes, and beliefs may further complicate it. Finally, social background and context may also play a role. Love may be the ultimate determinant, but it is not the only variable involved and, sometimes, may not even be the most important one. Society does play a role in relationships, and the social and cultural context factors a lot in being a relationship, whether one admits it or not. A patriarchal or male-dominated society has consequences in a relationship, especially in one involving heterosexual relationships. Whether we admit it or not, most relationships are male-led relationships. We mean that men have dominant status and usually have the final say regarding the trajectory of relationships and decisions. But with progress in women’s social standing and advancement of women’s rights in society, women now have a say and are beginning to assert themselves in a relationship. With more women asserting their rights, enforcing their choices and decisions, there now emerge what most people call female-led relationships.

Read More »What are the fundamental differences between a female-led relationship and a male one? Here are some of the points of divergence between the two: A male-led relationship subscribes to the traditional notions of gender in a relationship and society as a whole, like men being the breadwinner in the family, etc. Thus, one can expect men to be more proactive, have more pronounced roles in decision-making. Deferring to women is usually an afterthought, and the final say usually belongs still to men. A female-led relationship, by contrast, does not subscribe to those traditional notions. In most aspects, they ran counter to it. Thus, a female-led relationship has women more engaged and active in sharing responsibilities with their male partners. Men usually subscribe to the typical stereotypes associated with males in a male-led relationship and are acting based on it. You have loving and caring men but are aloof and do not show affection or emotions to their children. They conform to the usual norms about gender and masculinity. A female-led relationship has no such baggage. Both men and women have freedom from the need to conform to some particular values and stereotypes. Thus, men can be affectionate, whereas women can be disciplinarians, depending on the need and personal disposition or personalities of partners. Again, roles in relationships and family are regimented based on traditional norms about family and gender in a male-led relationship. So you have men not doing anything at home during days off, with women doing the household chores and attending to their partner’s needs, which, probably under the setup, is the breadwinner and sole provider. Men and women do switch roles in a female-led relationship. Thus, chores are not only for women but also for men. Women help men or their partners in providing the material and financial needs of the family. It does not need to be the sole burden of the males. Those mentioned, though not exhaustive, are the typical characteristics that differentiate a male-led relationship from a female-led one. In a nutshell, adherence to traditional norms characterizes male-led relationships, whereas departures, if not opposition, to those norms usually characterize a female-led relationship. The benefits of a female-led relationship are evident based on what we discussed. The foremost advantage, of course, is that it allows the family to have more financial capability and affluence by having females sharing responsibilities. If you have both partners working and providing for a family, they will be better financially and materially. Shared responsibilities also allow more participation from both sides in rearing up the family and children. An emotional attachment could be forged between men and their children, allowing for stronger family ties between its members. A female-led relationship frees both men and women from their regimented social and gender roles dictated by traditional norms and mores. By not being entrapped by those values and stereotypes, they can maximize their capabilities to benefit their relationship and family. It allows for optimization of whatever it is that they could contribute to their relationship and family. “Democratizing” decisions and choices also allows men and women to share the burden emotionally. It is emotionally and psychologically helpful, for it also shares and divides equally the stress between them. Men should have only shouldered it if they are the only sole agent in the decision-making process.
