ORIGINAL: gooddogbenji So why don't we all get over this "respect me for being a Dom" bullshit and go on with our lives. *rolls her eyes* Imagine my surprise. Here's the exact attitude I was talking about. For one thing--courtesy to others is not just a gift you give to them if they "earn" it. It is something you display in your dealings with the world because you respect yourself. If your default attitude toward others is rude and snotty, you are not showing any kind of strength; you are displaying a weakness of character and poor upbringing--or poor training, if you have served a dominant before. As to whether you should be respectful to dommes because they are dommes? Yes and no. BDSM is about roles. You can choose to respect other individual human beings or not, based on how you judge their behavior--just by way of example, I am sure there are many female subs on this site who think many of the male doms who post here are complete fucking idiots or jerks, and who would run a mile rather than bend over for any of them. Nonetheless, you do not see these women starting thread after thread to bitch and whine about all male doms in general, nor do you see them charging in to be passive-aggressive dumbshits to all male doms in thread after thread. And I would suggest that the reason these self-defined submissive women don't make asses of themselves in public quite as much as male subs do, is probably that they understand the role they are seeking. Although they may not respect individual men, they DO respect the role of Master. And they are unwilling to turn off ALL male dominants on this forum by being snotty little bitches in public, every day of the week, and especially by making the kind of sweeping generalizations that will repulse EVERY male dom within hearing. Regardless, I see that you don't bother to dispute the trends I have described. The fact is, male submissives are incredibly obnoxious posters here on Collarme, and they display rudeness and a grotesque sense of entitlement which are far more rare in female submissives. People always get what they give in life. If male dominants here really are able to be more courteous to female subs, it is probably because they tend to be treated more courteously. --M
