Hey gais,

Anyone know any kind of animal species where the male is primarily dominant over the female? This is for a comparison dealing with naturalism.

Okay, but for reals, I think wolves or lions might be a good bet.

Or if you want to be awesome, argue for humans.

I'm trying to compare humans with another species, that's the thing. But I'll search your suggestions. Thanks

nb4 us doing your work for you results in the claim that misogyny and male chauvinism is "natural."

In that it has occurred in the vast majority of human cultures, yes it damn well is.

Point me in the direction of the female dominated society please.

Almost all mammals. Female dominant species like hyenas are the exception rather than the rule.

To the extent that almost all male evolution can be traced to the purpose of attracting and/or protecting and/or providing for females, in doing so risking great injury and death from other males and predators, for the purpose of sexual procreation, just in order to die first then yes, MALES FTW!!

I am getting the vibe that OP is trying to find ammunition to some kind of macho bullshit argument too.

Nevertheless, both wolves and lions are bad examples:

In case of the wolves: Yes it is right that there is an alpha male, but there is also an alpha female. As the only breeding pair they sorta co-rule the flock.

In case of lions it may seem the big old male lion is in charge. He gets an entire harem of female lions the best pick of all kills and the constant adoration of his pride, but does he actually make any decisions? No! He is pretty much a figurehead when it comes to actual leadership. Also he exist totally at the mercy of the pride. As long as the females find him strong and sexy (and he is able to chase away rival male lions) the females will keep him around. But if the females hint the slightest suspicion of weakness they will turn upon him violently either chasing him away or outright killing him. He is completely disposable there are usually other younger fitter males around.

Most male lions end their days alone, sad and broken or torn to shreds by their former "charges".

Bonobos, human's closest relative. There are also several "matrilineal" and "matrifocal" human societies, terms which were made up so chauvinists did not get their feelings hurt by saying "matriarchal."

Good example of social animals with male dominance would be:

Gorillas:
A gorilla flock always consist of a single male (disregarding roaming "bachelor packs") with a harem of females and he is the one making all the decisions and protecting the flock from intruders (and rival males). The machismo stops here, however, as the male is very actively involved in childcare and generally quite gentle towards the females. Regarding food, children are generally prioritized. Gorillas are family men.

Chimps:
In a flock of chimpanzees (the regular ones, bonobos are strictly matriarchal) the chieftain is pretty much always a male. "Favoured consorts" and the like can wield quite a bit of influence too, however.

Baboons:
One dominant male leads the flock and has most of the breeding rights. The females have their own hierarchy below him, much like chimps.

Chickens: The hens go where the rooster leads (and the chicklets follow the hens).

The baboon social structure is actually far from that simple. Where they form large troops, females actually choose who mates with whom, and the most agressive young males (sterotypically classified as dominant based on fights won) generally get none. Very small troops or male-dominated harems are a completely different matter, and tend to have clear male dominance.
