ORIGINAL: justagirlinzh You should probably concern yourself with your insulting brand of sexism. "helpless woman"? Has is occurred to you that his girl has a brain, is of sound mind and body, and has consented to being in his service and all that it entails? Just like plenty of other women in the service of a men have done before her. Linzh, If you read the post to which I was reffering, the girl is bound when hitten. Any person, man or woman, in such a situation is "helpless". If I am lost on one of your montains and cannot find the way home, I cannot help myself out of this situation, I am "helpless". Maybe it an error in my choice of vocabulary, I am not a native English speaker after all. A lot has been written on this forum to caricature my position which is that I find repellent when a man slaps a woman (outside of play of course) especially hard enough to cause a split lip. It has nothing with women in general, or with submissive / slave. I am myself a dominant, thus, it would be rather self-defeating to be against women being submissive, don't you think? As for how much submission she wants to enter and its form, it is her life and her choice. With the notable exception of abused women -- and abused men who are often forgotten in this context, any person can stand for her- or himself and does not need any savior (except when lost in the mountain [;)]. As for abused women, the help they need is much more complex than " a knight in shining armor". It was just another epithet that the Guardians of BDSM Purity hurled at me and does not reflect my attitude or objective. If you have the time and inclination, I recommend that you reread my posts to get a better idea of what I meant, although the posts of Orions, who I think is very candid and honest about his exceptionnal situation, will make a much more interesting reading. And by the way, I do not like men being slapped either and you better do not get me started about children being slapped. And the part I bolded in red is where your logic takes a nose dive. And no amount of shitty analogies can help you. If the person, of sound mind and body, has agreed beforehand to such an arrangement, then they are a willing participant, Martin. Not helpless at all.
