ORIGINAL: goddessAVA E With much respect, I ask- don't you think the people who see dominance as simply as you described are really often just inexperienced? Some are inexperienced, some have been doing it for years and found themselves contented with only that aspect of what dominance can be. quote:
I do not believe subs are dictating how true Dommes will act or developing a market for bitches. It seems there have always been men attracted to said women and plenty of women to fill that role. I don't believe in "true" Dommes, subs, or switches. There is a spectrum of dominance and submission, and it ranges from the bitchy/use me as meat to the more involved relationships. As I said, supply and demand. If more subs seem to be looking for bitchy women, more women will take that as their starting point, and possibly never make it past those stereotypes. quote:
It is up to us to educate them, not insult and isolate them, on the great complexities of Female Dominance. Many have absolutely no idea of the knowledge and skill required, the endless training and reading needed for much of the most enjoyable play-sounds, single tails, suspension....... learning how to do these SAFELY. It's not up to me to educate people who want nothing but to follow stereotypes. If you have assigned yourself a mission, knock yourself out. When someone wants to know more about needles, fire, inspiring obedience, the difference between dominance and domineering, etc, they will learn to ask, and then I will answer. Until then, I'm content to let them be happy on the level they have chosen to remain. I pray that inexperienced people don't cause horrific damage by thinking all you have to do is pick up a toy and voila you can use it, but I can't try to educate the world. quote:
The insulting language in the original post only furthers the very missconceptions you speak of because it immediately puts people on guard and hostile. I learned alot of technique from Male Dominants because they were so much more open then Femdoms-I wish this were not the case. Funny, I neither found the OP insulting, nor was I put on guard or hostile. ~E
