Why do I notice this in male subs? Is this your experience?
Where does it come from?
Its scary when I see it -- displayed here in the forums and its often clear in email I receive.
Why do male subs think I'm going to find OVERT misogyny appealing?
By the way, if you don't know what it means, look it up.
Its bugging the crap out of me today with some of the recent posts I've read.
If you're feeling that way, you likely don't belong in a situation where you are seeking a woman to have power over you, got it?
There is a large, strong theme of misogyny in submissive males that I've seen compared to males-in-general. Purely anecdotal, admittedly, but it's a glaringly high ratio in my experiences online and off. I think, perhaps, it may be due to two things that occur both separately and together:
Misogynists tend to see females as usable items, things, for their pleasure only, of weak will and/or mental capacity in comparison to a male and apply this to the eroticism of female domination as a subset of the female-as-whore complex... the domina exists only as a whip-wielder/fantasy-item, not as a person. This is often seen as the nastiness or outright explosion that occurs when the female(s) in question don't conform to the fantasy-item role, as cmail and these boards often give examples of.
It also shows itself in submissive-role-as-manipulation taken on by some males, where control over a female is desired but without the personal strength or honesty of approaching it directly; they pursue a female that will allow them to be in charge, controlling her role, behavior, words, etc. but at the same time leaving her as scapegoat for any relationship failings or flaws. Again this changes to overt displays of their true thoughts and feelings when brought up against females that will not be used in such a manner.
