I've always thought that being a Mistress is like a sisterhood where we accept and support each other. Exspecially in the bdsm lifestyle where being different is suppose to be accepted.
I posted a ad today for a sissy maid and right away I was insulted and called down by another Mistress. What gives? Why do others still have to try and make themselfs better by dissing other people?

I am not sure LadyV, I don't do it myself.
But on this site, even submissives attack Mistresses, good luck.

Haven't a clue... but perhaps the 'Mistress' that messages you wasn't really a Mistress? Could've been a barrell of banana eating monkeys who got lucky on the keyboard...

Regardless, welcome to CM.

What people do reflects on them, not on you. If they weren't attacking you they'd be attacking someone else.
Ignore them and move on, I say.

Welcome LadyV

Scene politics.  The BDSM community is not really a love-in : its  a sexual competiton among us for mate(s).  Once you realise it is a competiton, all the back biting makes more sense

Mistresses who attack others fail to appreciate the obvious.  You will get much further making friends with the competiton than enemies. 

Other Mistresses find subs for me (because they have time to screen more of them than I can). Other Mistresses teach me new skills.  Other Mistresses mentor and guide me. Other Mistresses let me join in their scenes or they help me out in mine.  Other Mistresses invite me to their parties and dinners.

You can never be friends with everyone: some "Mistresses" are idiots.  But you can go a long way being respectful.  Remember people will watch you both: are you the gracious and mature one?  Secure in your own Dominance?  Charming in the face of her jealousy?

Really unpleasant Mistresses get their karma eventually.  Thats not your job.

Maybe thank the other Mistress for her time bothering to respond to your advertisement and tell her you will take her advice into account.  All these crazy women really want is to be admired and respected (but they have a funny way of going about it!).  Try getting her on side

By the way, your profile is wonderfully frank and funny!  Anyone answering your add knows exactly what he is getting himself in for.  You should be swamped with genuine applicants :)

I like to say when it happens that the person had to throw an insult and I happened to be in the way. It's not about you, it's about them.

I think assuming that there's some sort of mysterious "sisterhood of Dommes" is a mistake.  I don't consider myself kin to someone just becuase we may share some similar interests.

That said....whenever you put something out into the world, particularly on the internet, you open yourself up to criticism.   You need a reasonably thick skin and the ability to simply ignore the nonsense.

The trap you don't want to fall into is to assume that somehow because there's this thread of mutual interest that we're somehow going to transcend being human and the "nasty" attributes like being critical and judgemental will disappear.

Anyone who attacks me for something I say I am looking for, no matter who they are, get the same treatment.  Block, delete, move on. Some people are just not happy unless they think they are getting under someone elses skin. You dont do it their way, so you must be doing it wrong.
Personally, I do not often get along with other mistresses becasue I get tired of their gentle suggestions for how I should handle Angel. I have problems in our relationship, and I make the mistake of mentioning that to some of my Domme friends.  Without fail they take that as a cue to try and solve my problems. 
Some of the dominant members of this site have a bit of an ego becasue they have been in the lifestyle longer, they have had more slaves than you have... they al have their own self-serving reasons for wanting to put you down.  In the end, does their opinion really matter? Unless you know them and value their opinion, anything they say can be brushed off and ignored.

I think it depends on the reasons one is attacked.

If someone is just posting what their experience is like or looking for a particular type of relationship, I don't see the reason for anyone to comment upon it at all unless they are asked for comments.

However, there are many people push a "my way is the one universal way" and I think those folks have opened themselves up for being called out, which they might consider an attack. I don't think it's a matter of role or sex or gender or sexual orientation either. Let's be honest, how many of us here actually, factually, believe we are are in-scene with each other? No? Then why would our roles or any of that other stuff matter?

Of course there are wouldbe bullies and losers in all venues of life. If someone attacks you simply to try and make themselves feel better then you do the a great service when you respond either to them or in a forum. Their goal was to get a reaction; ignoring, as difficult as it may be, is one of the best strategies in my opinion.

No, being a mistress don't mean some kind of sister hood where every one gets along. WIIWD And  being kinky don't make it and  other people automatically better.

Dear LadyVenom, Ladies and Gentlemen;
 
In my mind's eyes, the assembly of Dominant Women is not a sorority.  We're lucky to have the majority of Dominant Women who are civil, respectful and filled with knowledge.  Unfortunately, for the majority of us who identify as Dominant Women, there will be those who will not live up to, in general terms and in broad terms, our personal measure or standards of acceptable and positive representatives of what most ladies are.
 
In my mind's eyes, those who see Dominant Women as competition must be struggling to grasp for submissives/slaves that they cannot gain on their own so they must distract and tempt.  I can only assume that these women who must participate like sport/competition have not developed their sense of being, their self confidence, their skills and or knowledge lacks so, that they are extremely insecure and must disrespect those who are respected, as to raise themselves.  This has been a historical trait we seen throughout civilization and history--which is known as politics. 
 
In my mind's eyes I see, any slave/submissive that I must compete for is not what my life needs.  That gives too much power to the slave and or submissive seeking and those who get involved into the drama.
I dislike drama--especially in my private life.  So, I don't mind other Dominant Women 'steal' slaves and or submissives away; those who want to stay and or serve will stay.
 
I have to agree with MsCfromMelbourne's assessments, that people, even Dominant Women create their own karma, their own reputation and their responsible how others see their spirit of 'intent.'
 
Other ladies and gentlemen that have posted thus far, have indeed made excellent points.
 
In my personal experiences, the approach by a stranger; such as other peers--I look at the 'spirit of intent.'  With an effort to read it in a positive manner, then keep boiling it down--one can get a decent touch on the 'intentions' of the other Dominant.    Being a seasoned Dominant myself, I know I don't know it all--that gives me my strength, as I know a lot.  I have gotten great laughter from Dominants to whom come on quite fierce and 'know it all' to which it really is a sad state of the person.  We (in general and broad terms) want so much to be accepted and respected, that it is my personal belief based on my observations; we've placed a burden on those who know little to know much and forced to 'impress' instead of learning, growing and being their own woman.
 
My personal advice is similar to the other's.  You must be responsible for your own reputation, good name and how other's perceive you.
 
Just know there will be those in the community who make it a mission to be 'scene police' and or 'M/s, D/s, S&M and or BDSM vigilantes. 
 
Some make great efforts to destroy a person due to personality conflicts and or prejudices.  Life really--nothing new.
People will see either positives and or negatives in others, regardless of what you do or say.  The main focus is being true to you and your world, as that is all you can control -- yourself.
 
Respectfully submitted for consideration,
Lady Hugs

If you meant Christine from the movie, I don't think there would be any rivalry. The local Professional Car club decided Anna Belle was a lesbian and thus would be no threat to Christine keeping her boyfriend. If mean some other Christine you will have to be less cryptic.

You are either dealing with a case of Top's Disease, someone with too much time on their hands who enjoys causing problems or someone who can only feel good about them self by tearing others down. In any case, it is why the block button exists. Some people are jerks and there is no getting around that. While I have some wonderful Domme friends, I do not expect someone to be fun, interesting or someone whose ideals I'd support just because they claim Dominance.

I agree M..... Forget all about the attacker. We need a lady here that constantly gives praise to sissy maids so they don't become overly restless and start to complain.

Its part of a new production called, "Dommes gone wild!" *chuckles*

I dont think what you did was very bad considering what profiles I have seen on this sight. There is one with an 18 year girl who is trying to get money and claims she has been a Domme since the age of 15. Personally, Id love to give her a piece of my mind but Im sure I would just cause trouble and it isnt worth it.

Anyway, dont let it get you down, there are a$$es everywhere.
