r/RoleReversal

Sou brasileiro e gostaria de viver um relacionamento RR. Mas não encontro mulheres que queiram ser a parte ativa aqui no Brasil.

i finally understand what kind of relationship i want in my life but i have no idea if it exists. i know the whole shtick this subreddits about is flipping societal expectations and celebrating a dynamic where the roles are “switched”. often— before i even really was aware of role reversal— i assumed i had to be trans if i ever wanted to be treated like the “girl” in a relationship. i love myself just fine, but it made me cry a lot that i might never get to envision a world where i could be the one to receive flowers, to feel protected, to be proposed to, etc. admittedly, i do enjoy the bedroom aspect stuff as well, but i feel like for some people i meet that thats all a relationship like this should be about. outside of the bedroom, i still have to be a protector, wear the pants, be the breadwinner, decision-maker, etc. i want to feel safe with someone who cares for me, i want to be the “princess”. i feel so uncomfortable expressing myself in any other way or trying to act “dominant” or be “assertive”. it makes me super sad that my being male inherently means i have to always be a leader or guide.

obviously, i have no qualms being a breadwinner. im not stubborn; i can take the lead if a situation demands it or if in a bedroom setting its requested. thats just not the real me, though. i am submissive to the heart, i love pleasing and being a follower. i want to be on the side and decisions of my partner, i want to listen to their demands and be there for them when they call. i can assert myself and set boundaries, but certain stuff just appeals to me in ways i cant explain and i know its the way i want to live my life. i want to be princess carried, i want my hand held and taken out to eat, if its cold id melt into puddy if a pretty lady gave me their jacket. again, i would be more than happy to do the same. but some level of me just prefers to be treated “like a girl”. i want to feel small. idk, im just trying to get my words out and hopefully see if anyone here feels similarly about this. thank you for reading all of this if you did :]

What’s the difference between Role Reversal relationships, and non-sexual FemDom relationships? Is it a difference in formatted structure or something else?

Apart from the phenomena of it being common for Celtic men to move in with their female partner's household and becoming apart of them as opposed to the other way around what impact on RR does making combat a universal skill have instead of gendered?

Many women occupied warrior roles and many men roles people would consider "feminine" today in Celtic societies and religion if that was true? RR is not men doing nothing and women doing all the work, just like how in mainstream relationships it is not the case of a woman who does nothing and a man who does everything.

RR is just equal opportunity without gender lock to assume roles most suited for you. Whether it is for men with the suitability to enter fields and learn skills often locked to women, and same goes for equal opportunity for women to enter skills and life opportunities locked to men.

Would you say Celtic Religion and culture was probably the most RR in history by this definition? And did making combat a universal skill every member of the tribe should learn to a degree instead of gendered one help in that aspect?

Apparently men who did not fit into protector and provider were accepted but still told that if the warrior women and men lose they may have to fight dirty or flee, so to keep weapons or learn a way to fight if the enemy got into their homes. Same for women who were like those men if that were true. Everyone was expected to find their own style of fighting and back line, mid or front line.

I thought compared to most cultures men could find jobs or occupations most regard today as RR for men to do? If it was reincarnation then they might have also accepted it because they claimed you can become a man or woman in your next life (Like in Buddhism how they claim an RR man may have been a woman in his past life and a woman a guy in her past life).

Thus most likely in Celtic societies you maybe did infact have men who were weavers or Druids in relationships and marriages with women who were warriors and hard labour workers I think? Is this true?

Does a woman's strength as a leader lie in her ability to make decisions, or in that deep desire to embrace and protect a partner who has chosen to place his complete trust in her wisdom?
