Status: offline 		There are certain issues i take as Articles of Faith.  The reason i claim them as articles of faith is that i remain unable to weave overlapping lanes of logic to refute all critics and in the face of pure logic these articles and ideals remain standing in my heart, hence they must perforce be faith.

The first is that i truly and honestly believe in Female Superiority.  This might not surprise anyone as many heterosexual masochists at least pay lip service to the ideal.  However it is much stronger to me than just a passing phrase or something that comes along with the package.  i make this point early, because the following articles of faith are dependent on this all encompassing one that Women really are superior to men.

Life is meant to be lived!
it's not a spectator sport, at least not for me.  And for me living means being so close to the edge that the only way i can see it is too look back over my shoulder.  Regardless of activity, be it vanilla based Motorcycle riding, confronting rude people head on, stopping to help strangers along the road or standing up to bullies in the subways - all the way too the edgiest of S&m activities i have too do it full throttle and to the hilt.

Life is RISK!
W/we all manage risk every moment of every day.  From the time W/we crawl out from under the covers to the time W/we crawl back under again.  The difference is only about comfort level. 

Being castigated for living life, read taking risks, has gotten old, too damn old!  From friends who are Nurses who only see the worst Motorcycle riders or the worst circumstances that even good Motorcycle riders get caught up in, too complete strangers on blogs, bulletin boards and forums who tell me that my form of S&m is too risky for my own good!

This is where i weave back to my main Article of Faith!
Yes i like being kicked, stomped, trampled and crushed by Dominant Women in Heels well past the point that most people consider sane.  Even worse i really and truly enjoy breath play, again well past the point that most people consider sane.  To be taken past the point of consciousness during breath play,  or greater bodily harm while being kicked and Trampled represents, at least to me the ultimate in trust.  If i were only willing to submit to what i could reasonably tolerate, there would neither be submission nor trust.As long as the Woman for whom i am suffering for is enjoying Herself, the limits are all Hers to decide!

If Women are not truly superior to men than why is that W/we only hear of egregious violations of TRUST when men are in the Dominant role?  Because Women respond to their passions, they don't repress them till they are out control perhaps?  i honestly don't know the answer.  Yes there will always be the rare exception to prove the rule.  Butt since i can't articulate the point, yet i can't refute it either, and my heart drives me down these paths, i must take it on faith.

Faith is believe in the absence of prove. 
All that i know is that i am driven to suffer and serve Dominant Women, and from what i have seen Dominant Women are well balanced individuals who handle control much better than any other people i have ever had the pleasure to meet.

Women are Superior
Life is RISK.
i crave the very edge of Life.

Live Free, Die Hard!  (double entendre intended)

Status: offline 		greetings beneathfeet,

i'm not sure what exactly you are trying to open up for discussion here, but your post reminds me of something i dealt with several times recently while sorting through emails from potential submissives (as i was/kind of am seeking one for myself). that is - it seems like for a lot of people, it's not about actually serving the person you're with, but about using their service to fulfill some fantasy in the exact way you want it fulfilled. your post is so generalized it just seems that you are seeking a dominant woman to fulfill your trampling fantasy...not someone you want to serve because of who she is in and of herself as a person and a woman, but because she is a (generic) dominant woman who will trample you "beyond your limits," so to speak.

anyway, i'm not knocking the post as a whole - because i always think it's interesting to hear such impassioned perspectives on issues that don't come up a lot in terms of personal experience on the boards. so i did like reading your post. but my intial reaction was just off.

hope you are well.

annabelle.

There is no superior gender, no superior group of any type.  Gender, race, religious factions are made up of individuals, each unique, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.  To apply blanket superiority or inferiority to entire categories of people is a disservice to all of humanity. 
Your post reeks of ‘troll’.

I would encourage you to consider your health.  Reading this gives me the feeling I had when I watched girls cut themselves after getting dumped back in highschool.. self-destructive and emotinally wrought in reasons I can't begin to empathize with.

And.. hmm... what exactly makes men so untrustworthy?  War, declarations of mass weapons of distruction, lying, cheating.. what is it?  I am thinking people that express those things are doing it because they can, not because they need it so badly and repress it until it explodes.
Umm.. You don't have any of those repressed feelings.. do you?

If so.. are you far from California?

greetings curiouslord,

i just found this paragraph interesting and thought i'd comment...not trying to start a debate, just share a perspective.

i have "articles of faith" as such - not because my beliefs would be threatened by earnest consideration, but because there are just some things that i do believe regardless of evidence to the contrary. i don't feel "threatened" by evidence to the contrary...i can accept that my beliefs run counter to what is acceptable in many circles. the reason i don't argue them (although i will talk about them) is because i know that they won't stand up in argument, but i am also not about to change them - there are just some things that are personal to me. so it's not about being defensive for me...i am just up front about the fact that i'm really illogical about some things.

sorry if i went off the topic of your post...this was just on my mind as i was reading the op last night and now your post this morning :)

respectfully,
annabelle.

That being said, no woman is my superior.  I have yet to meet the woman who could presume to be my equal. 

In my house,  I am lord and master.  In the world beyond, I am a man--a man of action certainly, and a man of honor hopefully.  In either realm, I cannot fathom ever bowing to the will of a woman.

Every person has truths that are, to them, self-evident (apologies to Thomas Jefferson). They are the necessary foundation of a person's individual moral code.

I do find it interesting when people announce their articles of faith seemingly unbidden.  My curiousity is not so much the content of the OP as it's context.  Wherefore was this declaration made?

This is true; I do not deny there might be a female that could be my equal.

Ascribing gender to a presumably omnipotent omnipresent deity to my mind seems rather self-defeating and paradoxical.

Hmmm.... first of all, I don't believe in female superiority either... I don't believe one gender is superior to the other just based on the fact that they were born. 
 
However, I would NEVER be so arrogant as to say there are no men who could presume to be my equal.  That is nothing more than an extremely arrogant, and, IMO, insecure point of view.  In as much as neither gender is superior, neither is either gender inferior.  As people, we are all equals.
 
You may be able to play the "lord and master" in your home.  Good for you.  Whatever works is fine.  But, I find it extremely hard to believe that you have no female equals outside of your private realm.  I hate to burst your bubble, but you are no better than any of the rest of us in the real world.
 
Tell me... did you bend to the will of your mother while growing up?  Did you bend to her will as an adult child?  I'm just curious.  It would also be interesting to see you in court in front of a female judge, or on an operating table under the hands of a female doctor.  If you went to school, I doubt you were able to complete and graduate without bending to the will of a female teacher or two.
 
Those who believe in female superiority are no worse than those who believe in male superiority.  Both are signs of closeminded weakness.

So if a female police officer gives you a ticket, you will refuse to pay it? If you go to the doctor and she gives you a prescription for antibiotics for your bronchitis, you reject both the diagnosis and the treatment?

Because in both those scenarios you are bowing to the will of a female and accepting their dominance over you in that arena.

As regards my mother--I will say only that I honor her memory.  Your curiousity will be content with that.

As regards the rest of your commentary--a person's profession has no bearing on the matter.  Man is man and woman is woman.  Chew on that for a time.

Incorrect and absurdly oversimplified.  In each of the scenarios you state gender is irrelevant.

Would you quit your job if your new supervisor was a woman?  Or if the company selected a woman for CEO?

I read your words.  They were, perhaps, more revealing than you intended.  <grin>  The questions about your mother were stated in the "did you" tense, not knowing if she was still with you.  Your refusal to answer also speaks clearly.  And, my dear, my curiosity is mine... I will choose whether or not it will be "content".  <chuckle>
 
"Man is man and woman is woman".  That is the only statement you have made that sounds intelligent.  "Chew on that for time"??  LOLOL   I am not really into biting.... however, the fact that we are different makes for wonderful and delicious experiences.

Whoopie!!!  And I own my company and am the CEO also.  Your inability to answer simple questions is amusing.
