My credo is this. People are people. My favorite line of scripture:
"There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female, all are one in Christ Jesus."

But look at it like this, in any social group you do have the leaders and followers, and generally the leaders will be those who are physically dominant, for males anyways. I think that for most people in your situation, b/c of being subservient in the physical sense, they would be more willing to take shit from those who were stronger/bigger than otherwise. Again, the physical is a good estimation of what the social relationship is. I can see that working in most of the social groups I look at, but like all generalizations, it won't hold true for everyone
