Is lifting always domination?

[caracal25]

Lifting your partner is not about domination.
When a person is lifted and swung round after winning something or greeting a loved one on meeting, the lifter is not acting dominant or trying to show that they're stronger than you. It's just a reactive happy action. Also carers and nurses of people with physical disabilities often have to manoeuvre or lift them. Lifting a bride over the threshold is traditional and again nothing to do with domination.
Obviously, it is still true that the average man is usually bigger and stronger, but that doesn't in modern thinking mean that he is dominant in the relationship.
I for one, admire a capable woman who is not afraid to show her strength abilities without the need to dominate. The minor percentage of men who enjoy the fetish of lift and carry may enjoy being dominated, but in my case absolutely not. I do not want to dominated or be beaten up or physically harmed in any way.
