But I do have something neither you, the OP nor several others in this thread can ever have - a working knowledge of how a male AND Dominant thinks and processes information.
Actually, you have a working knowledge of how you as a male dominant would think and process information.
Ummm, that's what I said (in your quote), actually.... And all the following is in reply to that same post of mine??
quote:
I have a working knowledge of how many people tend to perceive dyslexia and the successful techniques I've used to educate them to be more aware of and cognizant of the limitations of the disability. I also have the word of another dominant who happens to be male WITH a working knowledge of dyslexia - both personally and professionally - that accusing people of being immature when there is no knowledge of whether the person they're accusing even understands the situation is grandstanding.
By his word, and by mine - lowly that I may be - educating the dominant who might not be aware is an excellent option and done correctly, not at all disrespectful. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a mere submissive who happens to have a Master's Degree in Special Education, works daily to assist those with dyslexia and a myriad of other disabilities to reach their full potential, and educates staff and parents as well. I happen to be owned by a Master who is in the same field I am, with even more credentials regarding this than I do, who additionally, has a wealth of personal experience dealing with dyslexia to boot. He also happens to have more than a few years under his belt as a Master as well, just in case you want to play the "I am male and have more experience than anyone else" card.
And still I'm not disputing the limitations of dyslexia - no matter how padded your CV or support group.
Of course there's evidence of him acting immaturely and I highlighted it on Page 1. She's doing her best despite the problems caused by dyslexia and quote: "This, however, is not enough for him". If my girl was dyslexic, I'd proavtively find ways to ease her path, NOT put more hurdles in front of her. He's demonstrating immaturity (or selfishness; or ignorance) at the expense of his girl.
Now, if I were grandstanding, I'd be spouting about my qualifications, experiences and influential dom friends re dyslexia....
quote:
There's no need to knee jerk just because someone's come up with a plausible idea for a possible solution (or at least the beginnings of one) beyond calling someone's Master "immature." You may presume the OP's Master is being immature... just as I may presume he needs more knowledge to be able to operate from a position of understanding. You've made your comments.. I made mine. I don't happen to agree with yours.
So if I said he was ignorant instead of immature we'd be in agreeance? Assuming, that is, you'd actually say the (insulting) word you just defined.... And it's not equally insulting when I also called him insecure - or that one's ok because you did, too?
quote:
In my admittedly unaware position as a mere submissive, I also make the assumption that a dominant does his best to work from a position of knowledge, and have done my best to present a way for this to happen if it's needed. Perhaps you'd prefer to contest my assumption?
Of course I don't wish to contest your assumption, I agree wholeheartedly! He needs to fix that, to understand his slave's difficulty! So I'll give a little ground here; maybe I should've said "ignorant" instead of immature.... Or is that also a hot-button word for you?
quote:
Or is your real beef the fact that someone other than a dominant has provided this suggestion in this forum?
Beef? Me? *You* took exemption to *my* post, remember? Those who refuse to turn the other cheek or at least invoke polite ignorance are the ones with a beef?
quote:
lowly that I may be
But hey, what do I know?
I'm just a mere submissive
In my admittedly unaware position as a mere submissive
Oh yes, I also don't hold the belief that dominants are god-like creatures never to be
contradicted...bad submissive that I am.
I may be some knuckle-dragger in your academically elitist World but I can't believe even a genuine Neanderthal would buy all this sarcastic, self-effacing, wounded dove drivel.
Does any dominant who posts an opinion you disagree with get ridiculed as being "god-like creatures never to be contradicted" or may I presume to be the only deity in town? [;)]
Focus.
