The OPs idea is so innovative that someone should write a novel or story with it as a plot point some time. I do like how people are whipping out answers to the OP though. ---

And **Dominatrix** is a retired accountant, according to her profile. Maybe it’s just me (don’t hit me! don’t hit me!) but for some reason I just can’t wrap my head around a retired accountant being a dominatrix! 😕:eek: ---

Men can exploit women through sex and children, too, and to a far greater degree. A man can successfully reproduce, and get his offspring to adulthood, just by spending a single night with a woman, and then skipping town, leaving her to do all the work. Nothing a woman can do is comparable to that. Unless, of course, you’re counting “woman not letting a man exploit her” as “woman exploiting a man”? ---
