Haha. I'm a girl and I am quite dominant. Most guys that I know tend to become more submissive once they realise that the girl wants to have the upper hand. Besides, plenty of guys out there who are incredibly submissive.
Are you talking sexually or for their persona?

Like role-reversal stuff? For example a businesswoman that goes out and works and a man taht just stays at home and looks after the kids?

Or just a submissive man in general, like a man that just listens to his wife and most of the time agrees with everything she says etc.

Yes there is. :angry:
There is a difference between being dominant and being an aggressive egoistical loudmouth. I wouldn't class myself as dominant, but I do possess some traits that can be linked to it. Assertiveness, Confidence etc.
