Again you miss the point. I stated quite clearly that my comments were based on two things. My observation and discussions with those people I associate with mostly outside the BDSL arena and my personal experience with people. Only a very small number of people with dominant personalities show sufficient submissiveness to happily move into areas of no authority (assuming they have the ability to move where they choose and I'm refering to occupations wise) and those who do this are usually combat vets who have enough issues without wanting to deal with anyone else's problems. I never indicated I was making a wide sweeping statement covering the entire kink area, I'd need to experience a lot more than I have with kink groups which I have no desire to mix much at all outside my own select circle. Nor did I refer to Alpha males in human form. The onlky reference I made to alpha males was regarding a dog or animal pack where young males learn from the older ones and the leaders. Within the terms of reference I used my arguments are valid. At this time I nhave neither time nor interedst in surveying the kink population of Australia or anywhere else and writing a paper on the findings although I may use the Dominant/submissive personalities as a basis for a thesis for my Ph.D if I decide to do it (would be more ego to be legally able to add Dr before my professional name and it not my cup of tea at this time).
