His dominance. His ability to penetrate

not just the woman, but...

- ...life.

- Oh, penetrate life?

- Yes.

- Well, that's very interesting.

You should've read the book.

- You do not think I...

- Then perhaps I do have it.

I do envy men's position in life,

their physical strength, their entitlement.

My aunt said, "A woman must not be told

how to use her freedom...

...she must find out for herself."

Your aunt, my dear,

is quoting Margaret Sanger.

My aunt is Margaret Sanger.

- The Margaret Sanger?

- I don't know her very well.

My mother and her...

There are sore feelings, I think.

Are you joking?

Your mother is Ethel Byrne?

We were very active

in the fight for women's suffrage.

When she did her hunger strike for birth

control, we rallied in her support.

I didn't grow up with my mother.

She, uh, left and I was put

in a convent school.

- What, she abandoned you?

- My father was a drunk...

...and wouldn't divorce her,

and she had to earn a living...

...and she had the movement to think of.

So, what you're saying is,

you are descended...

...from two of the most famous

radical feminists in the world...

...and yet you were raised by nuns?

- Yes.

- I thought you were just a...

What?

I don't know, not that.

So will you stay?

- Hmm.

- Will you join us?

- Yes.

- Yes! Wonderful.

Dominance, inducement, submission...

...and compliance.

All human relationships break down

into the interplay...

...between these categories of emotion.

A person is most happy when they are

submissive to a loving authority.

It is essential that a person submits

to an authority willingly...

...that it is their idea.

We get into trouble when people feel

forced to do something...

...they don't want to do,

and that is merely compliance.

People who comply instead of submit...

...are unhappy and repressed...

...and this can lead to resentment.

Taken to its extremes...

...it can lead to crime, war, fascism.

How do you avoid compliance?

It seems like...

- ...that is built into most situations.

- Inducement.

Inducement is the act of seducing

somebody to your way of thinking...

...dominating them so completely...

...that what you want

is what they want...

...and they love giving it to you...

...and that, ladies, is the key to life,

to love, to happiness...

...to peace.

Women are better

at inducement than men.

Are you all right, Dr. Marston?

Yes, I'm fine, thank you.

And how did you develop

this DISC theory?

Well, I started to observe student life.

Mating rituals and the like.

We gather here together

Can't believe I let you talk me into this.

It's research.
