>>15049369Dominant women are rare because dominance involves leading and responsibility that women do not understand and do not have a sense of duty towards. They're inexperienced with it as they rely on society/men. So it's normally all fluster and nothing substantial. To get dominant women you need a huge social overhaul which includes not coddling/roleplaying performative displays of pretend-dominance and other stuff. And even then they might not be suited for it innately so it may need constant artificial maintenance and sabotaging men's instincts.
>>15049378Art is not the space to model reality or model reality after. It's the space to remove the bounds and mechanics of reality and let aesthetics shine in whatever form. 'Realism' is just a form of aesthetics. Despite being technically and imaginatively very dull, it along with 'authenticity' is very potent today.
The popularity of realism, the importance of media in our lives and its conflation with reality. These things are why people have problems. They're not the same or transferrable. It's just making use of a selective image of reality as fuel for art, for manufactured emotion and meaning. Which was always the case, but we have lost the sense of it clearly being a play, experimentation for pleasure, and reality being indisputably dominant and clear.
Fitness and education require a strong cultural basis and maintained social standards (discrimination and expectations). Media can be inspirational but can't do anything about that lack. But I mean that human beings, sentiments, events, and behaviour in media/art do not translate to real life. Because they are fundamentally different. So people modelling themselves on characters is fruitless and incoherent. Instead the proper way to do it is take the emotion and meaning manufactured in art to invigorate and inspire yourself in real life. Otherwise it's LARPing and dodging life.
