That's the case for any forum, no? quote: I also think that it is vital that we men remember that while we may, in fact, have something intellignt and articulate to add to the various discussions, that most people here are soliciting the responses of female Dommes, not of us. I dispute that `most people' are looking for that. quote: So while offering our opinions, perhaps we should not expect to be taken as seriously as a woman answering, since the questions were not directed at us. Ew. I'm a submissive, not an inferior, thank you very much. I expect to be taken seriously or not based on what I say here and how I say it, not based on prejudice about my genitalia or the role I take in relationships. beeble.

Fair enough. I think it would have been better to mention in your post that you were `most interested in responses from other Dommes', rather than being seen to try to exclude people. beeble

Absolutely, only Mistresses should respond here. So I am inappropriately responding just to say I should not be responding.

Op This entire thread is academic because it can't be policed effectively anyway in terms of who is responding. No one is forced to read the replies of anyone else, you can be selective as to which ones you read. Just look at the name and or profile before embarking on reading a so called long post by a male. In an ideal world each reply could be filtered by any criteria you want. I've noticed though the avatars of females in most cases seem to be fairies, models, lips, etc. Also the names make it pretty obvious in most cases and you can ignore the asexual names and you'll still get enough answers to your question if you are that way inclined.

I'm not a moderator but I think it would be hard for any moderator to establish 100% the body parts at the other end of an electronic cable.

But they could, in principle, delete all posts that aren't asking questions but from people who don't at least claim to be dominant women. beeble

quote: ORIGINAL: FloridaMistresse My opinion, however, remains the same. I think if a Board has a heading then those responding should respect that, albeit whatever the heading is. In theory, yours is a reasonable expectation that I would be happy to abide by if it were honored across the board - i.e. no female dominants responding in the "Ask A Master" forum, et cetera. I don't read or post in this forum often so it would probably be a moot point for me. I don't see it the same 'clear expectation' you do - only a reasonable one. In my opinion it appears that the intent is to provide a forum where a question might more easily grab the attention of female dominants and not necessarily to exclude all others. If it is intended to exclude all others then the forum rules should specifically state that.

-fast reply- I know that in many forums here although it is free speech many don't like when you step into the place such as Gorean Lifestyles...etc. So I feel that if a question is directed to female dominants. Why on earth would a man answer it? That to me does not make any sense. I would not go into Ask a Master and answer their questions. I think it is a matter of respect.

PeonForHer -> RE: Should men be responding to Ask a Mistress? (11/16/2008 10:12:26 AM)
If I feel I've got a related matter to talk about, I'd feel disrespected if I were told I couldn't address it because I was of the "wrong" gender or orientation. I'd feel a even more disrespected if I felt I had a very useful comment to add as an answer, but were again to be told that I was not of the right gender or orientation. It does, actually, feel quite insulting to be told that. Respect must cut both ways.

CdnExplorer -> RE: Should men be responding to Ask a Mistress? (11/16/2008 10:20:26 AM)
To me it doesn't make sense to direct questions to any demographic, unless you're asking questions about a group you're not part of. If someone asks a question about transgender issues then, having never done any formal studies on the topic, I wouldn't respond...as I simply wouldn't have anything to add. If someone asks about femdom relationship issues, then I would feel perfectly qualified to respond as that is the style of relationship I live by. Respect has nothing to do with it, and valuable insights have everything to do with it. As PeonForHer said, it feels extremely disrespectful to say that because I have a penis my experiences and thoughts on femdom relationships are not of value.

If there is a question concerning a certain activity that is not specifically male or female, I see no problem with that, I would think a board is there to share knowledge?

I think it all depends on if the contribution is not a-" where can i find a Mistress /Domme " I have been on this site for 2 weeks and not gotten a Mistress " type posts , the whole troll for attentions gets old in all forums .People of all roles and genders can and should share prospective s and insights as well as questions .The more sources you use for your development ,learning and growth ,the better .

OMG! I accidentally posted a reply in the "Ask a Master" section on Spanking Bottoms. I just saw the topic in the latest post listing and thought it sounded like an interesting topic. I didn't ask permission to post there. Whatever shall I do?

Hear, hear! beeble It's true that some people will use a forum for something other than what the title of the forum implies. Also, I haven't checked all the forum titles here on CM, but I would guess that some threads could be placed in several different forums at one time. In other words, some threads may be general enough to where they could overlap across several different forums. And concerning American football, yes, it's true that there is more to American football than the name implies. The "real" footballs are ruby and soccer (futbal). American football is foot & hand ball. But what would one call it other than football? [sm=dunno.gif]
