Alpha males are no match for smart girls. And I prefer them, not because of some ridiculous James Dean fantasy, but because I prefer not to have to worry about nursing someone's fragile ego.
I read the Taming of the Shrew this week for a class, and the discussion we had about it made me think of this thread. The play is much more satisfying, romantic, and makes more sense when read as a comment on how romance/courtship should be than as a question of male domination or not.
