My issue with most supremacists (of any variety - male, female, arian, left-handers, whatever) is that they disallow and are at best rude to anyone who doesn't follow their belief - Wow, do you really think so? I don’t. I think that you have people who are passionately fueled by their agenda & to them it remains law. The people who DON’T have blinders, live and let live, you rarely hear from them because in essence it doesn’t really matter. I learned a long time ago when to halt battle with ignorance. It does nothing but waste time. I know my belief in FS is extreme but what can I say… I’m a complex woman & these views happen to work for me. I’m not really angry at the world nor do I feel the need to convert anyone into my thinking. As Blackpearl so eloquently put it, it’s a matter of preference… when two like souls collide it becomes a dance. If not keep searching. Yeah, I do think so. Keep in mind that I specifically said "most" - I would say that 80% of the ones I've run across have been of the mind set of "my way is the ONE TRUE WAY and all others must follow my way, no matter what their beliefs are, no matter what their preferences are, no matter what anyone else says, thinks or does - my way is RIGHT." Now, that does leave 20% that I have met (and a whole ton of others that I haven't met) who have been wonderful, non-judgemental (with respect to other's beliefs) people - and I am so glad to have met those people ... even if I don't agree with them on some things. I'm counting those that I have met online and off - people that I have heard about online and off. In the lifestyle, it amazes me how many munch groups out there are negative towards most male submissives and young female Dominants ... and there are more than a few who are negative towards all male submissives and all female Dominants - basically, you aren't a Male with a female (or a Female with a female) so you are not welcome here. And it works both ways - while there are proportionally many fewer groups that actually cater to F/m dynamics, there are still those that are openly antagonistic to M/f dynamics. Then there are the "elitists" of non-WIIWD venues - anti-gays, anti-blacks, anti-whites, anti-hispanics, anti-male, anti-female, anti-"anything-that-isn't-me" ... and very few of them that you hear about, read about, or actually meet are tollerant of any view other than their own. They have to put down anyone that not only doesn't fit their ideal, but doesn't agree with their ideal. They have to attack anything that isn't 'on their side' ... It bothers me. It isn't just Female Supremacy that bothers me, far far from it. Honestly, it's one of the most benign "supremacy theories" that I've run across ... but it does still bother me - not so much that I'm going to talk people out of it, or try to force them to change their minds, but I am going to state my mind, and hope that they can at least see where I'm coming from. I've had 'submissives' try to convince me that FS is the only way to live as a FemDom - and I explained our stand on it. Some of them never did get it, some of them did - life goes on. If even one of them got it through his head that not all FemDoms like the idea of FS and didn't try to push it onto the next FemDom that he talked to, then I'm happy. To each his/her own, I'm not going to stop anyone from practicing/living/playing with FS - as long as they don't belong to us LOL - but please understand where I am coming from with my past experiences and those that I have gleaned from others.
