well, let’s keep this to the animal kingdom

I’m the boss because i can kick your ass!  
I’m the boss because I’m the best hunter and provider!

 Is it as simple as that?

stop changing your mind. how many beauty queens and hells angels are there in the animal kingdom?  😀

without wishing to sound sexist – i think that’s a very male way of looking at it.  ;D i am trying to think which animals have hierarchies based on matriarchy rather than patriarchy and i can’t think which are which…. but to me it’s not just that simple – it’s about intelligence and thought not just ass-kicking ability – otherwise why would you see a toy poodle sorting a pack of great danes?  😉
