ORIGINAL: Gauge Why is there an automatic assumption that a submissive should treat dominants with total respect, even if they have no idea who they are? Even though I'm on your side on this issue, I thought I would just address the thing that's generally not being said by anyone and that's the attitude that a lot of people have whenever they go to a social bdsm function. Some of these people are already in a mindset that puts them in a mood that's going to reinforce this bad behavior. That doesn't make it right, but my god, it is so hard to deal with that sort of thing, especially if you are the minority in the scene when it happens. I can't tell you how many social functions I've been to that are femdom atmosphered, where some woman I don't know automatically starts ordering me around because she's a woman and knows that I'm a submissive. I remember having a conversation with a friend of mine (another submissive) at a party that was pretty much all sorts of mixed D/s elements, and this woman walks over to the two of us, knows that both of us are submissives, and then orders me to go get her a drink at the bar (it was an open bar, so she wasn't asking me to go buy her a drink). My friend tried to friendly inform her that we weren't really in a scene environment in the moment (we were actually discussing future arrangements for a play party that we were going to be organizing for a femdom organization we were both part of), and she got really mad and started ordering us around. The weird thing was, neither of us have EVER played with her, EVER served her, and vaguely even knew who she was because she was one of those "she came with a friend of a friend" types of people. The point is: These sorts of things happen, and during that situation, even though the party wasn't even femdom centered (meaning there were male tops, female tops, mixed tops and whatever), people looked at us like we were somehow doing something wrong by not immediately responding to the demands of someone we didn't even know. That happens a lot.
