What if: Women Switched Roles with Males?

What if women had not needed to fight for their equality and their rights because they already had them? What if the males rather had to fight for those rights as we did? I'm sure the world would be an extremely different place today.
        What first sparked these thoughts was talking/imagining Jane Eyre's time as well as Charlotte Bronte's time and watching "Titanic." It's really upsetting and incredulous when we think about exactly how unfair it was to be a woman during the earlier times. For example, women were expected to stay at home and if they wanted to educate themselves, they were essentially laughed at and told to drop their dreams. On top of that, women did not have that many rights, as a result they were there just for moral support for the males. In "Titanic" as Rose talks with her mother about their financial situation (huge debts because of their father), Rose needs to marry the rich guy in order to save the family. One of the lines Rose says is, "It's unfair," and her mother responds with, "It's because we are women... we have to make difficult choices." So when we actually collect exactly how much suffering, pain, and loss women have gone through in order to become equal to men, I wonder what the men would've done.
         Since males were the dominant ones, they also got to make most of the decisions that create our foundation, so they supplied many of their needs. I think with women in charge, the decisions might have been more pacifistic, perhaps less selfish decisions. On the other hand, I think the decisions women might have made could have been worse. In my opinion, I think behavior and decisions depend largely on status. So the women, had they been the dominant ones, could have been extremely domineering as well. I think in terms of the time it would've taken the men to get equality, it would be a lot shorter. For one thing, they have more force than women in some aspects. A lot of literature could have also been saved and brought into society (since women weren't really accepted as writers) that were lost due to the inferiority of the women.
        However, with all these benefits I think that there are also losses if we lost the male talent. This, therefore proves that a society where both male and female are equal, the better the society will be. Although, living in a world dominated by women would be extremely interesting.
