I get emails exclusively from Doms or female subs who are convinced that I am just a poor misguided submissive who needs a strict Dom to "fix" me.

I find this extremely offensive.
I'm really quite angry right now.

Why be angry over people who have no clue about who you are? Are they taking the time to ask?
If not, why are they worth your anger? People who should matter in life will take the time to talk to you and get to know you.

Block 'em? Yeah, so we switches have a slightly tough time of it. *shrug* Idiots abound, and we're not the only ones who have to deal with them. I'm surprised you get it from female subs too though.

The most common attack I get is the fact that I set an age limit.
They say that if appearance and age matter to me, then I am just a silly vanilla girl, and I should get a boyfriend instead of a Master.

I get those all the time, including one that told me that "people like you make me SICK"
You just have to ignore them, there are idiots everywhere.

I can relate. I get stuff from doms wanting to flip me on the occasion.

Consider, however, that their conduct is significantly telling about who and what THEY are. It gives you the edge and the power.

Essentially they've gifted you because now you can just check them off your list. No harm, no foul, and no extended email, telephone and/ or history before you acquired the knowledge.

Think of all the trouble they've saved you.

We all get 'em, hon. Just brush 'em off. There's a couple of rants on the subject in the "ask a switch" forum. Come on over and comiserate.

Besides - they're monosexuals. What do they know?

I see it pretty much the way Suz sees it.

They did all my filtering FOR me.

Thank YOU, have a great life, next!
