Thank you all for your input! To address some of the points made... On choosing female supremacy vs male supremacy as the subject: Really, as a male submissive, writing about inherent male superiority would be a bit self-defeating, I feel. The only real outlets for that view I've run across are the Gor books. Those are, of course, entirely ludicrous, and a poor exercise in craft (which I realize is easy for me to say, as giving criticism on the work of others is ever easier than creating your own material...they succeeded in the only real way that matters, as people apparently kept on buying enough of them for Norman to continue churning the damned things out). The society in the books is also ludicrous, and while I've seen some online who try and follow the farcical precepts of that fictional society, I've never yet met anyone in the flesh who claims to. I have met practitioners of female supremacy, however, and so therein lies the reason for my choice. And no, I haven't been hurt by that association with the practitioners of fem supremacy. I just find it to be, when taken to the extreme mentioned, ridiculous. I'm happy to believe that you're superior to me as an individual. I just can't accept it being because you've got more pleasant-looking genitalia. My Dominant is supreme because they're my Dominant, regardless of their gender. On the given definition of female supremacy: Granted, the definition is skewed. It is set out as an extreme example. I chose to make it so because I've run across people who take that example quite seriously, and do live (or claim to) by it. It is, I feel, an accurate paraphrasing of the most extreme view. I misspoke by labeling it kink, when what I was referring to was the practice of it as a solid, believed-in 24/7 lifestyle and world view. If I was cloudy about that in the OP, I apologize, and I'm going to blame it on the late hour it was conceived and that most of the phrasing was composed on the fly in my head. Obviously, most don't take it to the extreme mentioned in the definition. But then, some do. On writing journal posts that immediately turn into forum posts: What can I say, I was so proud of stringing even two coherent sentences together at that point in the night/morning, and curious about the views that would be offered, that I felt compelled to put it here too. *grins* (minor edit to correct an omission - ~S~)
