oh, no, I don't think they're entirely submissive at all. but they *do* seem to enjoy letting the men in their lives take that dominant, care-taking role. they like...top from the bottom, haha, which is really part of what it means to be a submissive...they're usually the ones really calling the shots. and yeah, Darla *chooses* to cast herself in that role, because it gets her pampered in the way she likes. maybe because she spent her whole life serving men, and this way they serve her.
As for Darla, in the early days she seems more like Angelus' mentor and teacher; once the little ones come along, she shifts more into a materfamilias role. yes! absolutely true.
