Sorry to join late in the conversation, but I do think you pose a very interesting question.
I do think society (AS A GENERAL) looks down on much of women's sexuality. Like a guy can be a "stud", but there is no positive word for the female version. (BTW, I am taking the word SLUT back and making it a good thing!)
Or even in countries where prostitution is legal, I do hear society (AS A GENERAL) looks down upon the sex workers which the majority are women.
Regarding being Domme, I know there are an awful lot of sub men out there and not as many Dommes. I honestly don't know how society regards women who are sexually Dominate. I wish I could do this, but it's not my forte (I'm submissive). Personally, I find that many subs try to top from the bottom and just is too much work for me.
But I do know from experience being a strong minded woman in the business world was hard. I had to be more diplomatic than my male counterparts because I fought being labeled as "being on my period" or "being a bitch" where if my male coworker came down harder on his employees - they didn't attack him personally. BTW, many assumed I was Domme because of this job, but again sexually I am submissive.
