ORIGINAL: LadyPact Truthfully, the two forums for Dominants has never been My greatest cheer for this place. Let's face it. Unless we're talking about subjects such as those which are related to the physical body (such a prostate cancer, perhaps), there's very little that one gender has completely to their own realm than the other. There wasn't a split between the genders when it came to submissives, as most questions that would be geared toward submissive aren't gender specific. I really don't know why it wasn't treated the same. (With the exception of using the Mistress board as some kind of hng section, but I digress.) This very subject came up (about female Dominants posting in "Ask A Master") a couple of months back. After which, I decided that I was going to make some personal observation on some threads. That same week, someone came along asking how to tie a rope harness. There were about nine responses to the thread, basically sending the person to reference material. Could I have typed out how for a top to make one? You bet I could. Yet, I sat back and waited to see how long it would take for a male Dominant to make that contribution. It never happened. In the last two months, there have also been two threads in "Ask A Master" that were specific to the Atlanta area. I've sat at the tables of the munches that those folks were looking for and I've attended the events that they were hoping to find. I knew from personal experience what they wanted to know. Right down to the name of who runs the munch and where to find the book rack in a particular shop. There wasn't a different Master who was providing that information. Just Me. There shouldn't be any confusion because of the layout. There is a guideline for every section. The fact that folks place questions in the area that they most identify with (a male Dominant posting his question in "Master" for example) may not be the best fit, but still an accurate fit. As usual lol, and yes it did make me laugh, I do not disagree at all. So many people could answer but do not, maybe they just did not read it, who knows. As for the Munches and Atlanta based info, that really is not something that should be asked in a Master,Mistress,slave,sub forum anyway. At least not and expect it to be relevant to the question. As for me, I could not have answered them without looking the info up. I simply have not attended a munch in Atlanta in years, even the south Atlanta ones. Who knows, maybe I will one day. MV
