female dominance
Women holding power
Female dominance describes social arrangements where women hold power over men, whether in relationships, groups, or broader society.
In BDSM contexts, it refers specifically to women taking the dominant role in sexual power exchange—a female dominant or dominatrix controls the scene.
The term also appears in biology describing species where females outrank males in social hierarchies: Female dominance is rare among primates but common in spotted hyenas.
