ORIGINAL: aSlavesLife Therein lies the problem. Opinions are not facts. It was once the opinion of many that the world was flat, and that opinion was taken as fact. But the opinion stated by srs does not overlap into fact. She did not say that male subs sicken her and are a bilogical abomination. Had she said that, her opinion would have been treading onto the grounds of fact, and could be considered wrong. But her stating that she finds them distasteful is no more wrong than a profile saying " No Men! ", one saying " Caucasians only ", or one saying " single hetero female only ". All of these are opinions based on preference, and all do convey biases, albeit biases that most people choose to ignore. We have no more right to deny her this opinion than we do to deny a lesbian her opinion. Or are you suggesting that lesbians need to lay aside their biological compulsions and personal taste in order to conform to your idea of what is right? Just to be safe though, I will write my one lesbian friend here and ask her how many posters on this thread have written her to tell her how narrow minded she is for finding the thought of sex with a man disgusting. Doesn't it seem there's some type of difference between a personal preference and making a judgment on another person? A lesbian saying in her profile 'men only' isn't the same as saying 'all men disgust me', is it? If someone prefers a white partner, that's not saying 'all other races are disgusting', is it? It seems there's a way to express preferences and/or opinions without causing insult, isn't there? Or don't you think that's possible? Would you go on the poly forum and state 'poly people disgust me' (even if they do)? Would you go on the gor forum and state 'gor people disgust me' (even if they do)? Why would you? (And by you i mean anyone, not you in particular.) And saying in your ad that you do not prefer a poly or gor relationship is a bit different than going about it in the above manner, isn't it? There is something called discretion and really, not only for those the comments are directed against, but for yourself as well. And using such discretion only speaks favorably for the poster. And really, saying 'i am disgusted by male subs' is pretty much the same as saying 'sub males are disgusting' which again, sounds pretty judgmental to me....whether it's an opinion or not. DG
