ORIGINAL: Proprietrix I'm going to go against the general opinion here and agree with you. I do indeed see a lot of what you're talking about. On nearly a daily (and sometimes several times a day) I see a male come to collarchat and state his fantasies. And then I see (and often join) a bunch of Dommes who try to "set the record straight" that we are not personal fantasy fulfillers. I don't attribute it to a general hostility between malesubs and Dommes though. I attribute a lot of it to the lack of accurate titles for people. I've seen a trend of the internet being used a great deal by male bottoms who are after kink, play, sex, and fantasy fulfillment, and being used a great deal by Female Dominants who are after power exchange, and D/s or M/s relationships. Contrary to popular belief, most male bottoms aren't seeking out female Dominants. They are seeking out female tops. And most female Dominants aren't seeking out male bottoms. They are seeking out male submissives. Everyone is so repulsed by the idea of using titles, labels, and definitions, that a lot of people entering the lifestyle have no clue what the difference is between a bottom and a submissive, or between a Top and a Dominant. If they don't already know the difference, and they aren't given a chance to learn the difference, and they have no option of defining themselves as one instead of the other, then it makes perfect sense that they are going to choose "the answer closest to what I am". Beyond that, I think many of the female Dominants who log on here (myself included) realize that the greater percentage of male submissives and male bottoms who log on to sites like these, don't have a realistic perspective of us. And sometimes (like after the 12th fantasy laden, unrealistic, stereotyped post that week) we begin to lose a bit of patience (and a bit of hope) and start coming across a lot more bitchy than we were 11 posts earlier. [sm=applause.gif][sm=applause.gif][sm=applause.gif][sm=applause.gif] A standing ovation to the lady who hit the nail on the head. I read at least a dozen books before I knew to call myself a female dominant, rather that watch fantastic movies on how I should behave. The books I read didn't change anything about me; they simply guided me in discovering that there are different people with different points of view, who are turned on by a different approach. I LOVE LABELS, and agree that there is a difference between a bottom(refers to the person who takes on the submissive role for the duration of a scene) and a submissive(characterized by tendencies to yield to the will or authority of others), and I try to figure out if we both read from similar books/dictionaries and understand one another before moving forward. If you have no intentions of submitting except for those times when you've agreed to be spanked/whipped, than you and I have nothing to go on. It is my experience that male dominants are much better mannered (as gentleman-like behavior goes) than the alleged submissives that have approached me, so that if I were going for the sensation alone, I would choose a male dominant whose kinks matched mine, not an angry M bottom as they appear on these boards.
