Honestly though, it's not the first time that I have heard someone equate actions to be submissive/non-submissive. I think that some people DO view things such as gardening, sewing and cooking as acceptable or typical things a submissive would do. I know that I have had more than one eyebrow raised at me when I say that I like to hunt, fish, camp and hike.....and I can chop a cord of wood with the best of them. I don't expect or need a man to protect me, mow my lawn, put oil in my car, plow my drive, frame out a garage for me or hang drywall. Maybe what saves me is that I do like some more traditional "girly" things too?
i can relate. i love to garden and sew and cook but, that has nothing to do with my submissive nature. Many Doms and "manly men" enjoy those things, too. my first Dom was an excellent cook. He taught me how to cook, especially Italian dishes. He was an Italian who was raised on the tough streets of Newark, NJ and didn't back down to no one.
Ever hear of Rosey Grier? He was an All-Pro defensive tackle with the New York Giants and the leader of the "Fearsome Foursome," with the the Los Angeles Rams, acclaimed by experts as being the best defensive line in football. Rosey Grier stands 6'5" and weighs approximately 300 pounds. He's no "shrinking violet" and one of his favorite past times is doing needlepoint. He says it relaxes him.
i also love the outdoors. Growing up in north central California, i spent more time hiking and tent camping in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, as i did anything else. i also spent 12 years in the Army, in a male dominated field, and had to do my own vehicle maintenance, including changing the oil in my trucks and jeeps, along with changing and rotating the tires, etc.
These activities, to me, having nothing to do with being submissive or Dominant. You don't need to have a submissive character to enjoy household chores, such as cooking, and just because you are submissive doesn't mean that you can't enjoy rugged, dirty, "tough" activities like working on cars or wilderness camping.
If there is a "typical" submissive (or, a typical anything), which i don't believe there is, i know that i am not one. i know that i am one of a kind and some people like my unique qualities and some people don't. i don't try to please everyone. i only strive to please One, my Master.
Some activities that i do associate with submissiveness would be, kneeling (especially when at another's feet), bending over (especially when exposing a bare bottom), crawling, lowering head until told to look up, etc.
Just my views......
