introduction
- I will try to make the concepts in this article apply
equally to all superior/subordinate relationships:
- parent/child
- employer/employee
- teacher/pupil
- master/servant
- superior soldier/subordinate soldier
- master/pet
- owner/horse
- for convenience, I'm using
- 'woman' = subordinate; 'man' = superior
- I use the masculine gender when I'm referring to a
superior, feminine gender when I'm referrring to a
subordinate
- ex: he required her to file her reports on time
