there seem to be all sorts of interesting categories appearing on some feamale subs' profiles that just don't exist on the male sub selection page

why are the selectable options for male and female subs so different?

why can female subs decide to declare themselves as being into caging and puppy play but male subs can't?

who decided this?

and when are they going to fix it?

Well probably there is some error, and things do get fixed, but it takes time as none get paied to run this page and let me tell you, running a site like this takes time effort and money, give them more money, see your wants furfilled more quikly, in aditin let them know, it probably is just an error.

This topic was approached previously, both through sending private e-mails and posting the same concerns/suggestions regarding the choice for Dom vs Dommes. It was not received well, due to some people having high emotions related to the perceived and obvious differences, and the suggestion of sexism. (I also believe the specific thread, about that, may have been the catalyst to remove the "suggestion" area on this Message Board, but I don't know for sure. The timing seemed right.)

Anyway...from what I understand, the categories were originally designed, and then later, when errors, or discrepancies were found, it became a bit of a challenge to change them again. The suggestion was that this was a "free" site, and the administrative changes would not only take time, and money, but would not be as easy as flicking a switch. That makes sense, doesn't it?

So, if there's really something not listed in your "interest" choices, perhaps you should be specific in the details, in your profile. That'll work.

I can't tell you exactly what is going on. If I change my profile to being Straight, I get to choose vampirism as an interest. But since I am Bi, I can't choose it. On my pets profile, when we try COUPLE, she has different options. When she list as Female Submissive, the options then change. I dont' know if the mods did this intintally but we still have our empty profile box to the right to fill in the blanks and fully describe ourselves, skills, and interest.
