You confidently characterize the man's comments as an effort to dominate. Why are you not equally cynical about Alice's motives? Why do you not conclude that her comments are part of a strategy to dominate in this domain of their relationship? Why not say "She may not consciously understand what she's doing, but that's what's happening."?
Personally, I am inclined to be less cynical about both their motivations.
That's a good question. Here is my cynical analysis of Alice's potential psychology. I think there is a lot of room to read a power-play on Alice's part (though that says nothing about whether it is justified or not).
