ORIGINAL: Jaybeee No no, first of all we can't "allow", or disallow expectations. Every woman in the country has the legal right to be lazy, dirty little-gold-digging whore. It's despicable, but not illegal - and I would leave said country if the government starting laying down edicts telling us who we should/shouldn't pair up with. What I DO object to is the idea that an unemployed man ought not to be looking for dates, but an unemployed woman can. It's that lingering disparity in opinions. I don't like the opinion that it's ok for a single woman to be broke, but not a single man. Sorry, ain't gonna fly. Another good point. I would agree if this were about equality. However, the specific point of it is that we do NOT believe in equality. A dominant does not have the same rights or expectations as a submissive. Both bring their own qualities to the relationship. The dom creates a world.... the sub accepts and chooses to live in that world. What world does an unemployed poor-as-a-churchmouse dominant create? Sure, she should be able to contribute to that world, but she shouldn't be the only one contributing financially, at least in my opinion. Again, it may be a matter of old fashioned values. Which I applaud you for. I should say, money isn't the uppermost critierion, happiness is - usually a trifling difference because a lack of it causes great UNhappiness. And you said it yourself - the slave ACCEPTS that world her Master, however impoverished, creates. As well as not believing in equality fundamentally between D+S, I also am not in ANY way equal to a mistress. quote:
Ihave to recognize though that it really isn't fair that women aren't expected to be financially successful and men are.... but that's the world we live in. It is a remnant of a time when women were largely unable to find employment at a living wage but men were expected to share their wealth with the women they loved (wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, etc.). Men had more advantages but they also had more expectations. We have taken great strides to balance that situation for women, but the expectations remain largely the same for men. Honestly, as a dominant, I am comfortable with it. I do not see the world as having any obligation to be "fair" and I remind my lass of that frequently. She seems like a good sort from the way you speak of her. If I may ask, has she earned your trust for the long haul, or are you waiting to see how she shapes up? This is the way things are BUT - I don't see why the good, honest, hard-working, hard-driving men of this world have to be cheated. I'm also pretty comfortable with the situation as I'm also pretty comfy financially. BUT - short of Murder, nothing disgusts me like outright hypocrisy. If a woman shortlists potential partners using a financial filter first, fine - just woman up, come out of the gold-digger closet and fucking say so. People are forever trying to stitch me up and I tell them quite plainly I'm not interested in older women. Does it make me a cradle-snatcher to want girls 20 yrs younger? Do I give a shyte? Anything less is dishonest and makes her a money-grubbing cunt, as far as I am concerned. I mean, I shouldn't HAVE to dress down to meet a girl, should I? Bahhhh....I'm ranting. Time for a cuppa and a smile.
