I agree with you in all real respects. But *please* let us
keep Darwin out
of this, even if he's 'in it' only vicariously. Charles
Darwin was no Social
Darwinist; in fact, he even denied being a Darwinist (just
as Marx angrily
denied being a Marxist). 'Social' or 'Vulgar Darwinism' was
invented by
Herbert Spencer (who, against Darwin's protests, coined the
phrase
'survival of the fittest') and by Ernst Haeckel, German
chauvinist and
anti-semite. Darwin had a highly developed social
conscience. His family
had a long tradition os abolitionism, and on his voyage
around the world,
wherever he saw slavery or racism or social oppression, his
blood boiled.
The man who in his working notes admonished himself to
'never say
"higher" or "lower"' of non-human species, would clearly be
incapable of
using these hoary terms (survivals of the even more hoary
'Great Chain
of Being') in referring to human races, of for that matter
human genders.
'Vulgar' or 'Social Darwinism' should properly be denoted
'Spencerism'
or 'Haeckelism'; or at least, we should be aware that it
would be the
proper thing to do, even if it is now impossible.
Pax vobiscum
TWolf
Charles and Laura--
You both make very good points. I feel there must be some
type of middle
ground, but for the life of me, I am not sure where that
middle ground
would be. Is there a 'peer' relationship that could be
established here?
I disagree that the biological evidence points to women's
innate niceness
in any meaningful sense. I am not a biologist, but my own
sense is that
women are, if anything, genetically programmed to be
"tougher" than men
because they tend to be adapted to care for children, which
is the most
challenging job there is. Men have been socialized to play
power games,
but my experience is that women pick them up fairly
quickly.
There are many woman that are totally unsuited to raise
children (my own
Mother, for one) and there are men totally unsuited to play
the power games.
I know men who do very well at being househusbands and
raising their
children and women that do very well in the world of
business and politics.
I don't feel that we can generalize that woman or men are
genetically
programmed or socially programmed to react and act the way
they do... It
is so much more complex than that. Our world has become
more complex
and we have to look at more than genetics and socialization
to find the
answers we are looking for.
History is full of people who thought they would be kinder
or gentler than
the oppressors they sought to replace -- such people
usually end up being
surprisingly similar to those oppressors in the end.
This has happened so many times in history... We can look
to our own history-
the Native Americans, for example- and it doesn't just
happen in politics. The
oppressors can be anyone: If what happens after a take over
is that someone
is forcing others to behave and react in a certain way,
they do end up in the
same way. I look at groups like GreenPeace and other
ecological types (of which
I am one) and when they destroy others lives because they
cannot find common
ground or compromise...they become as much a part of the
problem as the "other
side." These people are women and men.
There was an article in the NY Times last week about a UN
worker (a woman),
who berated a man and his children to "go back to the
country he came from"
because he was (I believe) hispanic. He was born in the US,
as were his
children.
This was not nurturing behavior. Morals and ethics come
into play, and just
plain good manners and tact, as well. Women in general are
more concious of
these issues. Yet, this is breaking down as well.
A good example is the Afrikans settlers in South Africa,
who were
horribly oppressed by the British. They were denied the use
of their own
language, restricted to shanty towns, and generally treated
as
second-class citizens. When they finally got out from under
the yoke of
the British, though, these same oppressed people turned
around and
insitituted, point for point, the same system in regard to
black
Africans, which came to be known as apartheid.
Wonderful example...
As you may be able to tell, I am extremely skeptical about
any female
supremacy movement, as I would be towards any group that
felt it was more
suited to rule than the rest of the human race. If this
makes me
unsuitable for inclusion on this list, I'll be willing to
unsubscribe.
An analogy:
I was in Mexico City for a week in March. It was
interesting for me as I had
never been to Mexico before. There are over 22 million
people there and the
traffic was absolutely atrocious...every street was a
traffic jam with more cars
than I have ever seen in one place. I thought Seattle
traffic was bad.
There was a very large difference in the traffic. It didn't
matter whether
the driver was a man or a woman in either country.
In Seattle, I am always confronting
issues: go the speed limit or go with the flow of traffic.
If I go with
the flow of
traffic, I could get a ticket, or to not go with the flow,
I get the finger,
a fist, or
some one chases me in traffic or cuts me off (or pulls a
gun out) because
that's
the way drivers react here (or in most cities in the US).
In Mexico City, no one
gave me the finger, shook a fist, swore at me, threatened
me, cut me off or
any
of the things that drivers are so fond of here. The drivers
let one another
in,
helped each other out, had some semblance of manners and
politeness. There
was a graciousness that I haven't found anywhere I've lived
in the US.
If there is to be any ruling class in the world, there
should be a graciousness
to them. There should be empathy, kindness, charity and
caring for the ruling
class for the others they rule over.
I believe that females are superior in many ways to men.
However, having a
balanced system is far more important and probably more
suited to ruling the
human race, than any one gender, race, religion or
political group could on its
own. We see this all the time, all over the world.
Utopia, anyone?
When I divorced my ex 10 years ago, I had to work for the
establishment and
had to
put her into an 'establishment' day care. She was told she
was wrong to want to
play with the boys and their trucks and their GI Joes and
HAD to play in
the kitchen
with the ironing boards and stoves and refrigerators, etc.
I was very angry
and basically
kept looking for another day care situation that let the
boys and girls
interact with
each others toys. There was not a one to be found.
I'm curious as to whether the child care places are still
like this.
I can't recall what I was allowed and not allowed to do in
child care,
but I can't see that it effected me much. Before then, I
lived on a
farm, and my mother tells stories about getting me a
kitchen set for
christmas because I wanted it. Apparantly, my brother liked
to play
in it too.
However, my daughter is very independent and is very
well-adjusted as far as
her place
in society, but I still run into people who do n ot
understand why I don't
encourage
her to wear dresses or to talk about boys and make-up and
clothes and all
the things
that girls SHOULD talk about and do. I calmly explain that
my daughter is
an independent
thinker and I give her the choice to talk about things and
wear the things
that she
wants to wear (within reason--I don't want her dressing
sexually
provocative, but that's
to protect her more than to limit her). She is a treasure
for a daughter
and I love her
dearly.
My mother pointed out to me a few years ago that she has
always
avoided referring to me as a "tomboy," because she felt
that would
make me feel too different from other girls. She did well
at letting
me be what I was, though she did insist on the occasional
dress for
important events. :)
It's difficult to grow up "different," but IMO it's worth
it. I
didn't go through eating disorders, didn't give in sexually
to guys
because I felt I had to, etc. Sure, I had other depression
problems
as a teenager (it's hard to avoid them at that age :) but
they didn't
do nasty stuff to my body. As more and more girls are
raised to be
themselves instead of to some feminine ideal, it will get a
bit easier
to deal with for them.
I have nothing against "being feminine"...but I'm not going
to obsess
over it, spend 3 hours on my hair and makeup on a regular
basis, etc.
_However_, if that's a choice an individual woman makes,
more power to
her if she does want to put that kind of effort in. Just
isn't for
me.
I named her Alexandria because if she signs her letters
with her nickname,
Alex, no one
that doesn't actually know her, can tell if she's a man or
a woman. Also,
by her
handwriting, you'd swear she was a man.
couldn't help
myself
I have bad handwriting too. Some people have suggested to
me that
it's because I use the computer so much. I point out in
return that I
have had problems with handwriting since I first learned
how to write,
which was before I'd ever touched a computer. :)
Dee-Ann
I feel Jesus would have denied being Christian, too. ;)
--
As many of you, (including Laura) know, I am most
emphatically not a
Christian. But I did attend church as a lad, and I often
find Jesus'
teachings to be enlightening from both a moral and
philosophical
viewpoint. One very good way to piss off the "religious
right" folks you
may be unfortunate enough to encounter is to have a good
knowledge of the
New Testament. If you have never read the Bible a little
research in
your local library will provide the information that will
bring you
hours of enjoyment.
When they begin their tirades about how much we need a
"Christian
Society", solemnly agree. Respond that you would like to
have a
government based on Jesus' teachings because you are a
Communist (or
liberal, secular humanist, or whatever the hate word is in
your locale).
Explain that Jesus practiced total nonviolence (disband the
military),
scorned material wealth, wealthy people and moneychangers
(abolish
capitalism), provided free food and healing to the people
(the welfare
state), and lived in a communal setting with his closest
followers.
Watch 'em sputter!
Just got my Oregon Voters' Pamphlet yesterday and found
that for the first
time in awhile the OCA (the primary "religious right" group
in the state)
failed to get either an anti-choice or an anti-gay
initiative on the
ballot. Also, I hope any sincere Christians out there
realize that I am
not denigrating your beliefs. Of course, I think that was
part of the
point Laura was making.
Peace,
Laura, I don't think Darwin, Marx or Christ knew the impact
their ideas and
actions would have on the rest of the world for a hundred
to several thousand
years after their deaths. You are right, of course-- many
great people
typically aren't reconized until years later-- after their
philosophies have
been discussed, studied, tried and proved or disproved.
Hello Dee-Ann:
I'm curious as to whether the child care places are still
like this.
I can't recall what I was allowed and not allowed to do in
child care,
but I can't see that it effected me much. Before then, I
lived on a
farm, and my mother tells stories about getting me a
kitchen set for
christmas because I wanted it. Apparantly, my brother liked
to play
in it too.
About 3/4's are, but now my daughter doesn't need daycare.
Mostly
the 'christian/religious' daycares are into the submissive
female/dominat
male roles and continues to perpetuate that in the name of
god. The
less traditional daycares tend to have more equality in
chores, toys,
behavior, etc.
When I was a pre-teen (10-13), a whole group of
neighborhood kids used
to come over to play in a huge weeping willow tree in our
yard. We would
play "tarzan & jane." I was tarzan and one of the boys
was jane and then
there was cheetah, etc. It never failed that I would always
be tarzan... My
Mom raised us traditionally, so I'm not sure where that
came from...cer-
tainly not culturally, nor genetically... a puzzle, to say
the least. : )
I think it's nice that your brother like to play in the
kitchen. What does he
do now?
My mother pointed out to me a few years ago that she has
always
avoided referring to me as a "tomboy," because she felt
that would
make me feel too different from other girls. She did well
at letting
me be what I was, though she did insist on the occasional
dress for
important events. :)
My Mom always called me a tomboy, and it was a put down. I
didn't
care because I always had people to play with. In later
years, high school
and college, being a tomboy had served me very well...when
all the other
women were worried about dates and things like that, I
always had
men hanging around because I knew how to talk to them. I
was more
of a friend to them than a romantic interest, but the women
would
never believe it.
It's difficult to grow up "different," but IMO it's worth
it. I
didn't go through eating disorders, didn't give in sexually
to guys
because I felt I had to, etc. Sure, I had other depression
problems
as a teenager (it's hard to avoid them at that age :) but
they didn't
do nasty stuff to my body. As more and more girls are
raised to be
themselves instead of to some feminine ideal, it will get a
bit easier
to deal with for them.
Hear, hear! It is better to be oneself, than to give in to
societies ideals.
I didn't have problems with eating disorders either, but I
never thought
to attribute it to being different. My daughter is just now
starting to
develop and I'm hearing her talk about dieting. I asked her
where she
heard about dieting, she said girls at school talk about it
ALL THE TIME.
I encourage her to eat right and exercise if she is
concerned about
body weight, but I also assure her that she looks fine just
the way she
is. I told her that she should wait until she's out of
puberty before she
makes a decision to diet because her body is changing and
she won't
know what she will look like until her body is finished
with it's task. It
is not something she can control. It seems to work for
her...she's not
dieting and she is a very healthy 12 year old.
I have nothing against "being feminine"...but I'm not going
to obsess
over it, spend 3 hours on my hair and makeup on a regular
basis, etc.
_However_, if that's a choice an individual woman makes,
more power to
her if she does want to put that kind of effort in. Just
isn't for
me.
My daughter has just started the make-up thing when she
began
the sixth grade this year. Before that, she could have
cared less. There are
2/3's of the girls in her class that where make-up now. I'm
amazed. BUT,
I am teaching her How to put it on, so she doesn't overdo
and looks nice.
If she's going to do it, she might as well know the correct
way to do it.
I have bad handwriting too. Some people have suggested to
me that
it's because I use the computer so much. I point out in
return that I
have had problems with handwriting since I first learned
how to write,
which was before I'd ever touched a computer. :)
Same with my daughter. : ) She actually gets better grades
right now
because she uses the computer.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. As far as I
understand,
Barry has made quite clear that he doesn't believe in your
god. Why
do you insist on insulting him for the choice he has made
by asking
your god to bless him?
I cannot do "one night stands" either. The impersonal
feeling about it does
little to encourage my arousal. I feel more like an object,
as opposed to
feeling like a person.
[snip]
I've had several one-night
stands and always felt unclean and/or used...not at the
time, but the next
morning,
for several reasons. The biggest being: the man never
called back to even
say, " Thank
you, it was nice, but you're not my type.." or something
like that.. Is
this a courage
problem or was is a lack of self-respect and guilt on their
part? I've
always wondered.
most likely a lack of courage, also known as conflict
avoidance
In my case, I hate making promises that I'm not sure I'll
keep, even if
they are not explicit. Thus, I don't tend to be pushy about
sex. This
lack of obvious pursuit is sometimes mistaken for lack of
interest, even
when dating in a BDSM context where, if I'm interested, I
try make it
clear I'll go as far as I'm led (within fairly broad
limits). On vanilla
(non BDSM) dates, my lack of pushiness is usually just
confusing. My most
delightful vanilla experiences have been ones in which she
made a pass at
me. On those occasions, I did not feel like I had pressured
anyone into
anything (guilt-free sex! yay!).
I feel than anything that can be done to shatter
pre-defined sexual roles
is a step forward (Laura presented some nice ideas about
this). Since new
ideas about sexual roles play off of the old roles (he is
forced to wear
heels, she straps on a dildo...), I feel that the new ideas
should also be
shattered now and then. A woman who wears leather and
uncomfortable heels
because she enjoys the reaction she gets from her mate
deserves respect.
A woman who has found a more pleasurable way to get the
same reaction
deserves kudos.

Please, everyone, read in full what Laura Goodwin just
wrote with
awesome clarity about 'Dominance,' part of which reads:
Our humanity, our human instincts, are encoded into every
cell of our
bodies. Homo Sapiens is the most rational, the most
intelligent, the
most dominant, and the most dangerous human species that
ever lived on
this world. We pass on those genes, to both our sons and
daughters.
Humans have social instincts because we are a social
creature. We have
an instinct for finding our place within a hierarchy, for
dominance and
submission.
I have to ask: is hierarchy the only model to date? It
probably is as things have developed so far among primates
and smart mammals, but would love to be proven wrong. Are
there any eaxmples of a more circular way of living
anywhere
among intelligent creatures, say, whales or dolphins or
even
small human communities?
I know Ursula K LeGuin has created such communities in her
fiction, and made them believeable, but are there people
actually
living without dominance and submission as necessary roles?
I have spent a lot of time in 12 step groups getting well
and
accepting my soul, and these very effective communities
really
do work for honest people. But they work precisely because
they
eschew politics and replace power with powerlessness, and
have no
formal leadership at all, simply rotated responsibilities.
I'm not proposing or opposing here, just asking, because
otherwise I agree with everything Laura wrote here.
(Social Darwinists and economic romantics, almost always
male,
imagining themselves to be 'practical' and 'hard-headed'
and
'rational,' might rush forward and say that the only
possible
world is a dog-eat-dog jungle, and I have thrived acting
out such
fantasies myself, but I am still not so sure, and have done
just as
well lately by cooperating and sharing resources and
information.
There is hope: we can learn.)
The reasons used to prevent females from participating to
the fullest
extent in social leadership are false and the motives for
clinging to
the patriarchal model are ignoble. Women are not taking it
anymore,
they are standing up and standing together all over the
world, and
plenty of right-minded men stand with them, and for all the
right
reasons.
'ignoble' indeed. It demeans men, among other things, and
demeans
even the genuine accomplishments of patriarchal culture,
soon to
be under new and better stewardship, one hopes.
The 'right reasons' in my case at least being that, at a
minimum
a) the planet I live on will actually remain habitable,
b) the freer women are, the freer you are, and the freer
you are,
the freer I am. Equally so with power.
c) we may actually all discover each other as human beings-
surprise, surprise! :P
These women and men are the ones who will ultimately rule,
and the social forms that they institute will stand,
gloriously, for a
long, long time.
Being more like forests than like buildings, we can hope.

Show up. Lighten up. Pay attention. Feel awe. Make it
count.
The rest is hidden.
Why are girls not told by their mothers (and their
fathers): Do not serve
males.
Do not do what any male tells you to do. Do your own thing.
That would be
the
first step towards gyno-whatever, or at least a more
sensible world.

When my daughter was born (she will be 12 this month), my
family, my friends,
my now ex-husband and I gave her all assorted gifts: a big
yellow Tonka dump
truck, dolls, clothes, assorted toys and music, books, etc.
It was so fun
to see her pushing
this big truck around, loaded with Barbies, cabbage patch
kids and other
stuffed animals
around the house to dump them in a corner. She'd load it up
again with
blocks, books,
little plastic figurines, and dump them in another corner.
When I divorced my ex 10 years ago, I had to work for the

Agree.
And boys should be told to appreciate feminity.
I agree with this too. Boys should be given the option to
play with dolls

Well put by Mistress Lady Jet, of whom I have nothing but
the highest
admiration.
In my daughter's school, there is a course called design
technology. Boys
and girls take it together. They learn how to build things
and also how to
cook and mend things. My daughter was so proud when she
brought home
something that she used a lathe, planer, sander and hammer
to construct.
Also, I know of many friends who have had sons who loved
playing with dolls.
I think the biggest problem is men not expressing their
feelings. Once, my
youngest daughter asked me why she never saw me cry. I
said, "I don't
know."
But the real reason is that I was taught from a very young
age that real
men don't cry. Every man is like John Wayne and crying
means he is a wimp.
I never saw my father cry. The only time I remember crying
as an adult is
when he died.

means he is a wimp.
I never saw my father cry. The only time I remember crying
as an adult is
when he died.
A problem I have with feelings is that I it's very hard to
find
the words to express them. That part of my vocabulary is

Please, everyone, read in full what Laura Goodwin just
wrote with
awesome clarity about 'Dominance,' part of which reads:
Our humanity, our human instincts, are encoded into every
cell of our
bodies. Homo Sapiens is the most rational, the most
intelligent, the
most dominant, and the most dangerous human species that
ever lived on
this world. We pass on those genes, to both our sons and
daughters.
Humans have social instincts because we are a social
creature. We have
an instinct for finding our place within a hierarchy, for
dominance and
submission.
I have to ask: is hierarchy the only model to date? It
probably is as things have developed so far among primates
and smart mammals, but would love to be proven wrong. Are
there any eaxmples of a more circular way of living
anywhere
among intelligent creatures, say, whales or dolphins or
even
small human communities?
I know Ursula K LeGuin has created such communities in her
fiction, and made them believeable, but are there people
actually
living without dominance and submission as necessary roles?
I have spent a lot of time in 12 step groups getting well
and
accepting my soul, and these very effective communities
really
do work for honest people. But they work precisely because
they
eschew politics and replace power with powerlessness, and
have no
formal leadership at all, simply rotated responsibilities.
I'm not proposing or opposing here, just asking, because
otherwise I agree with everything Laura wrote here.
(Social Darwinists and economic romantics, almost always
male,
imagining themselves to be 'practical' and 'hard-headed'
and
'rational,' might rush forward and say that the only
possible
world is a dog-eat-dog jungle, and I have thrived acting
out such
fantasies myself, but I am still not so sure, and have done
just as
well lately by cooperating and sharing resources and
information.
There is hope: we can learn.)
The reasons used to prevent females from participating to
the fullest
extent in social leadership are false and the motives for
clinging to
the patriarchal model are ignoble. Women are not taking it
anymore,
they are standing up and standing together all over the
world, and
plenty of right-minded men stand with them, and for all the
right
reasons.
'ignoble' indeed. It demeans men, among other things, and
demeans
even the genuine accomplishments of patriarchal culture,
soon to
be under new and better stewardship, one hopes.
The 'right reasons' in my case at least being that, at a
minimum
a) the planet I live on will actually remain habitable,
b) the freer women are, the freer you are, and the freer
you are,
the freer I am. Equally so with power.
c) we may actually all discover each other as human beings-
surprise, surprise! :P
These women and men are the ones who will ultimately rule,
and the social forms that they institute will stand,
gloriously, for a
long, long time.
Being more like forests than like buildings, we can hope.

_femina post hominem_ has been a term that I concocted
to mean 'Woman after (meaning succeeding) man.' Both
Femina's wilma (the essayist and fabulist) and Holly
(an early poster here) liked it.
wilma suggested _mulier post hominem_ and had earlier
coined
'The Age of Muliebrity' as a term for the matriarchy to
come.
I dunno what the difference might be. _femina_ is
biological,
_mulier_ is more cultural, I suppose.
(wilma is now reposting her stories on Usenet, btw.)

Or She is (expressed) in Nature or any one of several ways

it. The important thing is that the connection between the
sacred (or transcendent, or archetypal, whatever) and the
natural is very real and very necessary for either to make
any
sense.
The second lesson from all this could be that eveything and
every one in Nature is connected with each other: you with
me
and each of us with a third other, and so on. Where
traditional
thought has failed is in assuming that distinctions equal
barriers,
and that what we do does not necessarily have consequences:
Because
I am not a snail darter (a small endangered fish) the snail
darter
has no influence on my life, and I can safely ignore what I
do
to the snail darter's habitat. 'Not my problem,' goes the
traditional
view. In the next century we will discover just how much we
have
already lost by thinking that way. And why that thinking
has to
change. Everything is connected. Everything has
consequences.
Everything.
Sex obviously has the Divine stamp of approval, or
else She could have made us all multiply asexually.
Gaaahhhhh! And there would proabably go all of human
creativity, and we would all do nothing but watch TV,
but never laugh at any of it, because none of it would be
funny!
<<<<<<shudder
I also believe that BDSM sex is a profound form of sex,
because what
makes us particularly human gets called into play. We don't
simply
couple as beasts, we can devise very individualistic and
dramatic rites
which give free rein to our imaginations and reasoning
powers, which we
can use to liberate or channel our erotic power. We stack
our human
selves on top of our animal selves, and stand on both to
reach up and
embrace the divine.
As with all sex, but with much more -more depth, more
color,
more caring, more possibility, more risk, especially that-
than
in simple coupling. With more connection to all the rest of
our
culture, and certainly to everything we think of as sacred.
And BDSM is also so _political_: I =love= that! :D
It's about =all= of the other issues we deal with in life.
Six months ago I wouldn't have seen that, and would have
huffed
that BDSM was an interesting way to empower women and
en-thrall
men (and many women), but was not so totally connected to
the
rest of life. It's been fun learning otherwise. :)

Financial

medical facts
and practical methods which a Supreme Female could use to
medically
subjugate her male mate would earn the same accolades.
Men know men's weaknesses better than any woman could.
Secrets should

Real Female Supremacy can't be achieved through "equality."

Linnaeus coined the somewhat over-optimistic term Homo
sapiens. In
Latin, 'homo' certainly means just was 'man' does in
English. Now,
Linnaeus had to use Latin, because this was the
international language of
learning in those days. But he was a Swede, and he thought
in Swedish
(he wrote eminently readable travel reports). And in his
own language,
'generic man' (maenniska) is neuter. It includes both
(all?) sexes. Also,
'member of th male sex' ('man', as in English) has come in
our time more
and more to be used as a short form of the generic
expression. So there is
no need for, say, an ombudsman to be an 'ombudsperson'.

I think it's nice that your brother like to play in the

do now?
My brother is a father and owns his own business. He's also
rather
the dominant sort. I believe he generally avoids the
kitchen now.
My Mom always called me a tomboy, and it was a put down. I
didn't
care because I always had people to play with. In later
years, high school
and college, being a tomboy had served me very well...when
all the other
women were worried about dates and things like that, I
always had
men hanging around because I knew how to talk to them. I
was more
of a friend to them than a romantic interest, but the women
would
never believe it.
I never dated until college. But there were guys in high
school who
would drop by out of the blue. I remember a male friend in
college
who once said to me that the reason guys didn't ask me out
is I put
off a "Taken" field. I asked what that meant, and he
replied that
something about the way I carried myself said, "I don't
need you." I
think that's when I realised I needed to start asking men
out instead
of waiting for them to ask me. ;)
Hear, hear! It is better to be oneself, than to give in to
societies ideals.
I didn't have problems with eating disorders either, but I
never thought
to attribute it to being different. My daughter is just now
starting to
develop and I'm hearing her talk about dieting. I asked her
where she
heard about dieting, she said girls at school talk about it
ALL THE TIME.
I encourage her to eat right and exercise if she is
concerned about
body weight, but I also assure her that she looks fine just
the way she
is. I told her that she should wait until she's out of
puberty before she
makes a decision to diet because her body is changing and
she won't
know what she will look like until her body is finished
with it's task. It
is not something she can control. It seems to work for
her...she's not
dieting and she is a very healthy 12 year old.
Hopefully it sunk in. I hate to see adolescent girls
freaking out
about their weight. I hate to see anyone freaking out about
their
weight, but with young girls it can screw them up for life.
Of course, there's also the problem with young men on
steroids, trying
to pump themselves up. Also can screw them up for life, not
to
mention making them more aggressive.
My daughter has just started the make-up thing when she
began
the sixth grade this year. Before that, she could have
cared less. There are
2/3's of the girls in her class that where make-up now. I'm
amazed. BUT,
I am teaching her How to put it on, so she doesn't overdo
and looks nice.
If she's going to do it, she might as well know the correct
way to do it.
I wore makeup in 9th grade. Purple eyeshadow, mostly. There
was a
point in college where I wore it too. I seem to have
survived. :)

Oh, Barry, I've been so quiet about this for what, 3, 6
months now?
I'll keep it brief this time, 'cause most of you have heard
it before:
I am apparently this group's token Christian -none others
have ever
surfaced- and am committed to getting along with everyone
here and
not to try and convert anyone to anything (that being
impossible except
by way of personal experience). I have only been born once,
do not worship
any book, however interesting or uplifting its contents,
and try to
remember that the core mysteries of my tradition are about
awe and love.
I am uncomfortable with the verb 'believe' and try to stay
close to folks
such as Matthew Fox, Hildegard of Bingen, St Teresa of
Avila, Thomas
Merton, Margery Kempe, Archbishop Tutu, the Apostle Mary
Magdalen and even
her lover Jesus. My last two priests have been women, the
first a Wise
Woman in every sense who started me on this path. I support
_anyone_ in
their spiritual path, even if that path is a hiking trail
in Norrland.
I'm saying all this because all of me happens in the same
place at the same
time. For the short version of how I connect with my
Archetype, see my .sig,
below, and please know that _most_ of us are not
fundamentalists at all.
whew!

An even better way to piss off the Religious Reich is to

was
going on, and how most of it was composed from oral
accounts
not written down until about 50 a.d., and not written in
Aramaic,
but Greek. Not all of the accounts were included in the
final cut,
and some versions, including all those told by women, were
edited
out. Those were turbulent times, and a lot mystery cults
contended.
When they begin their tirades about how much we need a
"Christian
Society", solemnly agree. Respond that you would like to
have a
government based on Jesus' teachings because you are a
Communist (or
liberal, secular humanist, or whatever the hate word is in

Watch 'em sputter!
My fave is to count how many times the word 'love' is used
in a tirade, and then point that out. (Usually the count is
0.)
My next fave is to refer to the Creator or the Holy Spirit
as
'She.'
And for dessert I assert that the Rabbi Jesus proclaimed
an end to religion and ideology.
(I would ask people to be careful about Christian ethics,
because
there aren't any. They are all derived from either Judaism
or
more importantly, Stoicism. The real message -IMNSHO- is
about
transformation by love and overcoming death. JC was only
adequate
as a messenger, but first class as a _message_ whose
crowning act
was one of love and submission. Tell =that= to Pat
Buchanan! ;])
Also, I hope any sincere Christians out there realize that
I am
not denigrating your beliefs. Of course, I think that was
part of the

I think both of you are waaay cool, and help make this a

I agree. There is a point where a girl must wear make-up to
school or
she'll be ostracized by the other girls. It's a peer thing.
It's also a sex signal, a way of saying to the world: "I'm
not a little
girl any more." I think that's why it worries some parents.
I wish I lived in some wonderland where I knew my kids
would get a
dignified and safe introduction to sexual activity. I'm
very concerned
about the sexual predators who are waiting for them. All
the concern
about weight and makeup comes down to what it takes to be
attactive.
Girls get worried about that sooner than they used to. I
can't help
but wonder, what's the rush?

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful
beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most
frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure
around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we give other people permission
to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear;
our presence can liberate others.

Friends,
This is certainly a very busy period for the List! It is
good to
hear all the varied opinions out there and I'm going to
take this time to
tie up a few loose ends.
Ralph, you seem like a decent sort and I did not mean to
offend
you. Please read the text of my message more carefully, or
to get a
clearer view refer to the followup by the estimable coyote
sings. Your
mention of Martin Luther King should serve to remind
everyone that
Christians have been in the forefront of many progressive
causes.
c.s., thank you as usual for your insight. Theology is one
of my
weak points, and I have been a nonreligious person for many
years now.
It is obvious that you have studied your faith thoroughly
and you have
my respect for that. One of my main problems with religion
is that I was
exposed only to the authoritarian organized type, and
naturally rebelled
against it. Laura has been a major help in my discovery of
spirituality,
and now you are contributing also.
Has everyone noticed how the right wing invariably co-opts
decent
ideas and proceeds to thoroughly pervert them? Religion
becomes tyranny,
patriotism becomes murder, free enterprise becomes monopoly
capitalism,
and most importantly to members of this List, family
becomes patriarchy.
Why are they allowed to get away with it?
Thanks for the Quote, Laura. In times like these good
people
need all the inspiration we can get, whether it comes from
heretical
rabbis, ex-cons, or companion travelers on the road toward
knowledge.
Peace,
Barry

Now I was helping out my VL mother (who I know is played by

I recently listened to the song, I Want It All, by k. d.

I thought it communicated quite a dominant attitude. I

Laura--
My daughter is only 8, and already says she feels fat
(she's tall for
her age and medium in build, not tiny and dainty). I keep
telling her
she is beautiful and perfect, and encouraging her to eat
and grow.
It is scary raising children now...I waited until I was 29
to get pregnant
and when I had Alexandria, I realized that this would not
be an easy
job at all. It was much easier before she started school
than now, that
she is in school.
My baby sister had bulimia, and she ruined her teeth and
general
health. She had to be hospitalized twice for it, and now
finally seems
to be able to eat normally.
I am sorry for that. It makes me feel so much better when I
hear of
someone finally eating normally.
My sister was bulimic, too. She finally died because
she couldn't get the support from my family in a way that
was healthy
for her. I personally think it was suicide, though my
family says that
she had a car accident. She was drunk, driving 80 mph on
the freeway,
not wearing a seat belt, hit a telephone pole at that speed
and was killed
instantly. When they did the autopsy, they found not only
alcohol in her
blood, but speed/heroin as well. Just two weeks before,
when she was at
work, her co-workers were telling me that she was crying
all the time...
if someone looked at her, if she dropped something, if
something went
wrong-she's start crying. It was devastating. She was 9
years younger than
I am.
I agree. There is a point where a girl must wear make-up to
school or
she'll be ostracized by the other girls. It's a peer thing.
It's also a sex signal, a way of saying to the world: "I'm
not a little
girl any more." I think that's why it worries some parents.
You're right about why they are wearing make-up. It is a
sex signal
even though my daughter is more of a tomboy than anything,
it is
worrisome. I've already had the "sex" talk with my
daughter. I've told
her the many things men will say if they just want sex: If
you loved
me, you'd do it. I'll get sick if you get me all turned on
and then I can't
have sex. and many other little sayings. She knows that if
she does decide
she really loves someone and that person really loves her,
I will help her
by getting condoms, birth control, and anything else she
needs to protect
herself. I only bring this stuff up when she asks me, but I
feel greatful
that she does ask me.
I wish I lived in some wonderland where I knew my kids
would get a
dignified and safe introduction to sexual activity. I'm
very concerned
about the sexual predators who are waiting for them. All
the concern
about weight and makeup comes down to what it takes to be
attactive.
Girls get worried about that sooner than they used to. I
can't help
but wonder, what's the rush?
I think we all do, Laura. We are all they have and if we
don't do it, they
are at the mercy of their peers and sexual predators that
either don't
know or know to much. It definitely is an issue of
attractiveness. There
is no rush, except the rush society and the media seem to
be putting
on our children. I monitor what she watches on television
very closely
and then we talk about the hidden messages behind the
programs or the
advertisements. I've been doing this since she saw her
first television
program. It is very interesting how aware children are of
what they see
there. Also, even billboards and ads in magazines, have
those hidden
messages and we talk about that too. The only way to
protect the children
is to teach them what to look for and what to watch out for
and hope
they understand.

Much of the "niceness" of women has to do with biology.
Women's
hormones effect the development of the body and brain, and
also effects
moods on a daily basis. It's been well established
scientifically what
the average person has been able to observe for themselves
for
millenia: women (in general) *are* nicer than men (in
general). Much
of what society expects of a person has to do with expected
norms. Men
*are* more aggressive than women (in general). This is a
readily
observeable, as well as a scientifically verifiable fact.
For this reason, many now feel that men can't be allowed to
rule. The
game is too deadly, and women's special advantages must be
called into
play to save the race and planet. Aggressive, bullying
types can't
continue to rule if people no longer allow it. No matter
how bad you
are, you can't rule alone, without support. I advocate the
withdrawal
of support from the old boys, and a bloodless substitution
of women and
men who think and behave responsibly, compassionately. It's
time for
the nice guys and gals to win.
Heroism comes in many forms, and needs something to believe
in. We
have to prepare the future for the men and women who will
live there,
by thinking this business through and doing the homework,
paving the
way. Every river is first a tiny trickle, but must one day
become the
sea. Like water pouring into water, our generation will
join with
those who follow us, and some of them will lead us. Watch
for it.
Like the body has it's own timetable, human events have
their own
scheduals to keep. Generation after generation, the
patterns of major
social change repeat themselves. The train is at the
station now, and
I for one am riding it.

In response to Ms. Goodwin's very helpful and well thought
out comments:
I disagree that the biological evidence points to women's
innate niceness
in any meaningful sense. I am not a biologist, but my own
sense is that
women are, if anything, genetically programmed to be
"tougher" than men
because they tend to be adapted to care for children, which
is the most
challenging job there is. Men have been socialized to play
power games,
but my experience is that women pick them up fairly
quickly.
History is full of people who thought they would be kinder
or gentler than
the oppressors they sought to replace -- such people
usually end up being
surprisingly similar to those oppressors in the end.
A good example is the Afrikans settlers in South Africa,
who were
horribly oppressed by the British. They were denied the use
of their own
language, restricted to shanty towns, and generally treated
as
second-class citizens. When they finally got out from under
the yoke of
the British, though, these same oppressed people turned
around and
insitituted, point for point, the same system in regard to
black
Africans, which came to be known as apartheid.
As you may be able to tell, I am extremely skeptical about
any female
supremacy movement, as I would be towards any group that
felt it was more
suited to rule than the rest of the human race. If this
makes me
unsuitable for inclusion on this list, I'll be willing to
unsubscribe.

The

male orgasm
has been
completely feminized. As it stands now the male erection
and the
orgasm it produces
are nothing more than blatant aggression. It fills the male

ideas of power
and control. This must be reversed. A means of doing this
is to
reverse the conditions
under which the male is brought to orgasm. instead of man

on bottom
instead of man in control, man tied up and under control.
instead of
man orgasming
when he wants to, man orgasming when female allows him to
if she
allows him to at all.
eventually she does not allow him to at all and he accepts
this as the
normal
reordering of things. once this is accomplished, mental and

restructuring
of the male can begin and hopefully culminate in a

Great stuff, my wife and i are working towards this very

are beginning to hear more ideas like yours surface that
seem to
really "hit the nail on the head" so to speak. To break
down the
Femdom lifestyle to some common ground (or thread) that
seems to
really empower the Female in the relationship so that it
becomes a
real lifestyle of Femdom.

and
I believe that sex is sacred *now*.
Amen (choice of agreement word intentional).
There is a very necessary connection, without which neither
makes much sense. The connection is in the fact that both
the erotic and the holy engage the whole person, and both
call us to take part in the whole timeless cycle of
creation-destruction-re-creation. Both involve us in Awe.
When we mindfully partake of one, either the the erotic or
the
holy, we partake of the other. We separate them at our
loss.
If sex isn't transcendent and devotion erotic, something's
missing.
That's why I am learning about both Kali and St Teresa and
why
Tantra or its emerging western forms are so appealing.
(Perhaps women know all this at the cellular level, and men
don't.
Elsewhere Laura wrote:
I hate to disillusion you, but women like
sex for sex's sake too. Women are more fitted by nature to
entertain
many lovers, as opposed to just one. Women are more
generous by
nature, and can juggle multiple relationships with finesse.
... and are perhaps not so addled by 'romance' as many men
imagine
they are, the higher meaning of sex being already
hard-wired in place,
written somewhere in her genes and not derived from
anything some oaf
might have whispered. If she loves him, it's for other
reasons, and if
he's a good lay, well, so be it. Perhaps 'romance' and the
holy are not
the same thing at all, and sex by itself is much closer to
the sacred.)
Laura's emphasis on *now* is bang on:
if the sacred can't happen right now, right this sweaty,
moaning second
_in flagrante delicto_, then when ever can it happen?

18 months here, and still i have some nagging questions,
addressed in these three posts that go back over 3 weeks,
but worth dealing with. A 3fer to save bandwidth:
1. FEARS & IDEALS
On Sun, 7 Apr 1996 Caitlin Chapman
I can't figure out why these people, who don't like what
the topic of
discusion is, just keep hanging around and bitching about
it.
I'd say it's either a masochistic tendency they might not
even be aware
of, or a desire to appear "normal" to others around them.
Perhaps both.
[Illustration of two reactions to watching a Jerry Springer
show]
Of course I can't speak for any 1 person and why they're
here. But even
if you "shouldn't" be here, you had to seek out this
mailing list and
send in your request to subscribe, so you had some reason
to subscribe.
Perhaps there's a third (related) motive at work here, and
it
finally hit me what it could be:
Horror of self-discovery.
All of the nasty shocks I've have had here in the
last 18 (?) months- there have been a few- have been
learning something new about myself, some new chink
in my armor, one less defense I can use or glib
argument I could hide behind. All of these are being
stripped away, and what's left is pretty, um, basic.
Perhaps that's what women are asking of men: "strip
to your shorts: show us who you really are, not the
drag you came in here wearing."
I hope men like myself (perhaps it is only me)
can get past these little fears -you (women here)
certainly make it easy and safe- and really contribute.
Personally, I don't feel it's worth my time to be here if I
didn't agree
with the FS ideals. If I take the time to read opposing
view points in
the paper, then I do it on my own. If I didn't believe in
FS, I'd be
surrounded by those who do and that makes things
uncomfortable if not
worse.
This was the first time I felt comfortable about dealing
with 'ideals,' because they historically have been
expressed by men, and with disastrous results. Invoked by
a woman, on behalf of women (and of humanity in general),
FS 'ideals' actually seem like something worth pursuing.
I think you've freed me from a lot of public introspection
to get on with discovering FS and its possibilities.
Thank you for that. :)
c.s
2. ESSENTIAL:
On Mon, 08 Apr 1996, Amy Ruth Baker
Subject: Re: feminism??
I think it's not necessary to limit "feminism" to one
narrow meaning. Not all feminists draw the line at equal
rights, and that doesn't mean they're not feminists.
Personally, I define feminism as living and looking at the
world (my life, other events) with a conscious awareness of
a woman's perspective and gender dynamics. It happens that
once you start looking at gender as an "essential" quality,
you can put together very reasonable position that women
are superior in many ways.
Wow. That last sentence says volumes.
If this means what I think it means, then the notion
that FS is a 'done deal' or inevitable is valid, and we
move

active,

I think. (Certainly not 'done' in the political or economic
sense. Not yet. But in human consciousness, soooooo close:
'A spectre is haunting [humanity]...')
Amy, would you care to say more about how this works?
I believe what you say about the 'reasonable position,'
but some illustrations would help me see it more clearly.
And would help me talk it up 'outside.'
I don't think that entails men-bashing, at least not
necessarily,
and I for one would rather spend my energy on more
constructive,
interesting endeavors than detailing mens' many failings.
Amen: Tedious pursuit and already well documented.
And it does neither you nor me any good to portray me
as a worm (even if I am one ;P ). Onward and upward.

Subject: Re: feminism??
And you still haven't made the very
important distinction between "feminist" and "femsupremacy"
have you?
Still a problem for
we've got it. I can see it, but can't quite say it.
Would anyone here, especially women, care to say more about
this distinction? (I know there's no one 'correct'
position.)
I thought, and then realized I haven't got a clue, except
the vague sense that Feminism is about equ(al)ity, whereas
Female Supremacy might be about equality and a _bit_ more
than that, being woman-centered and ... what?

It may be that many of us are really looking toward a time
(sooner rather than later) where 'feminine' qualities,
priorities, and values (however understood) prevail in
culture
and in public life. This probbaly means a lot more than
just
'nice' but something less than gender fascism.
It might also be said that women (for whatever reasons) are
_already_ doing more of what needs to be done to restore
the
balance of nature and to teach us all a new way of getting
along
based on something besides covetousness. Even if women
aren't
more naturally disposed toward community, it seems (to some
of us
at least) that women are using it in novel and hopeful
ways.
Again, none of this necessarily means 'nice' or even
'gentle' and
certainly not 'fair.'
I'm not sure any of this is a 'movement' or an ideology
(Heaven forfend) so much as simply a new kind of awareness,
a new way of looking at things.
I for one am looking forward to finding and affirming the
Feminine with _myself_. I could really do with a little
more
_glasnost'_ and being a lot more grounded.

Agreed. I personally feel that Nature is the Goddess, and
all Her
creation is holy. Sex obviously has the Divine stamp of
approval, or
else She could have made us all multiply asexually.
I also believe that BDSM sex is a profound form of sex,
because what
makes us particularly human gets called into play. We don't
simply
couple as beasts, we can devise very individualistic and
dramatic rites
which give free rein to our imaginations and reasoning
powers, which we
can use to liberate or channel our erotic power. We stack
our human
selves on top of our animal selves, and stand on both to
reach up and
embrace the divine.

senior old NCO -he had jumped in Normandy- put it to me
this way in
a discussion about women in the Israeli army (this was just

the 6-Day War):
"men make better warriors, but women make better soldiers:
they're good for the long haul."
Here's a book I've been reading: 'An Intimate History of
Humanit,'
(by Theodore Zeldin, trade pub. Harper Collins, New York,
1994,
ISBN 0-06-017160). It narrates the history of
relationships, and is
a sort of 'micro-anthropolgical' view of history. Very
readable, it
makes almost the same point.

This illustrates the most blatant lie ever forced upon our
society:
Male - the superior sex !
Sexually the male is far inferior to the female. The penis
is good for
one brief session, once drained it is useless for an
extended period.
The vagina can enjoy continuous sex for long periods,
climaxing many
times. One woman (if she chooses) can sap a harem of males
during any
given period while a man can service only one female.
Following this
offering he is left limp, his testicles empty. Another
misconception
that tickles me to no end is the "vunerable female"
attitude. By design
the male is much more vunerable. With his balls dangling on
the outside
of his body, mere targets, that if attacked leave him
helpless. Most men
are physically stronger than most women but all SHE needs
to do is reach
out and squeeze his sac and his strength is nutralized. I
find no one
point in the female anatomy that makes her so vunerable.
The tendancy
for the male to be more assertive/aggressive than the
female is what
has kept men on top. When dealing with barnyard animals
this aggression
is curbed thru castration (let's hope the ladies don't tire
of our
attitudes once they take over - then again it would cure
baldness) ;-)

Subject: Female superiority, Aha!
Message-Id:
<199605052143.RAA07695@sweden.it.earthlink.net
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
For a long time now I've been confused by the concept of
Female
superiority, but I think I've finally got it straight. On a
deep level I've
always felt that Women are superior to men. On another
level I've always
thought it was a rationally indefensible position. The
problem I had with
thinking about it was that superiority when used in a
sentence such as
"Women are superior to men" doesn't seem to have any actual
meaning.
Superior in what way is the next thing you have to ask.
Once you actually
say specifically how She is superior then someone else says
but what about
... (some other attribute in which men seem to excell)...
and you end up
comparing not just apples and oranges but the whole fruit
basket piece by
piece, and wondering just what you're actually talking
about. (Someone
inevitably says that apples are more important than
oranges, and then the
discussion turns to who's personal opinion is more
enlightened.) You end up
wondering just why you do think the Women are superior to
men, since it
doesn't seem susceptible to a rational defense.
I don't claim that the solution to this problem (that I'm
about to tell
you about) is my personal invention, but it is at least the
first time I've
grasp it well enough to present it so that it makes
complete sense (to at
least me).
The answer is that when I say Women are superior to men, I
mean the
Female gender is superior to the male gender with respect
to reproductive
role. While both genders are required to achieve
reproduction, She carries
the primary burden of responsibility and control. She is
his equal or (in
most instances) his superior with respect to any aspect of
the reproductive
function. It is not that the Female gender must acquire
superiority via
association with other attributes, but rather that
Femaleness is an
attribute in itself superior to the attribute to maleness.
Woman is the
primary gender, and males the secondary gender with respect
to the function
of reproduction. This is not a minor point, since the
reproductive function
is the most vital and important function, and in that
central position
shapes all other secondary functions. Woman's gender
superiority shapes all
of human reality and experience.
Having grasp the foregoing, my feelings about submission,
Female
superiority, Female domination, etc. make a whole lot more
sense. These are
not the stuff of aberration, but rather the surfacing of a
deep (perhaps
hardwired) understanding of the human biological reality,
and the roles of
Women and men.

This post is captioned 'The Source' because I'm using it to
play back
part of a post Laura Goodwin made over a week ago, in which
she tells
us what the wellsprings of Female Supremacy might be.
(I think early humans also partook of great awe and wonder
about things
in the sky and natural phenomena -storms, lightning,
thunder, etc- that
led in time to the 'sky-god' religions and [patriarchal]
outlook, but
none of that detracts from the power of Laura's vision
here. A human
_response_ to invisible / intangible forces may well have
been to identify
with life, the earth, fertility, blood, violent death and
other related
images in the natural cycle. See how this contrasts with
the 'sky-god'
vision of our being at war with / oppressed by terrible
remote forces.
No religion has ever fully resolved these contradictions,
although Hinduism
seems to have incorporated them all, and Buddhism seems to
unify them.
But since we humans live in Nature, it might be best to
connect with it
in some deep and conscious way, whatever our religion or
lack thereof.)
Thanks also to Witchlvr and his(?) 3-part 'My Theory'
thread, which
deserves more comment.
c.s.
This is a 'keeper' for me, and I hope Dee will put Laura's
text in the
archives somewhere:

Subject: Re: My theory (three)
Women ruled men from the beginning of humanity, when the
use of animals
for food and clothing was celebrated in hunt rituals
presided over by a
Priestess who represented the bloodthirsty Goddess of life
and death.
It's very possible that the race memory in our DNA
influences our
modern-day fetish behaviors.
There is a continuous tradition of women using make-up and
symbolic
garments and tools to fascinate and bewitch men. Since
before Homo
Sapiens, Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal women were painting
black ash
around their eyes, and staining their lips and fingers with
red
berries, henna, or ochre. They were trying to resemble the
fearsome
and mysteriously beautiful Goddess of life and death. The
red stain
symbolized blood, and certainly in many cases actual blood
was used.
There's not really that great a difference between the
Cro-Magnon
priest who dons an animal mask and dances, while dancing
hunters pursue
him to his symbolic death at the feet of the naked
Priestess adorned
with fur and ochre, and the modern-day man who abases
himself for his
leather-clad mistress, becoming a dog on a leash.

Subject: Dominance
Message-Id: <199605061334.GAA28674@dfw-ix9.ix.netcom.com
Our humanity, our human instincts, are encoded into every
cell of our
bodies. Homo Sapiens is the most rational, the most
intelligent, the
most dominant, and the most dangerous human species that
ever lived on
this world. We pass on those genes, to both our sons and
daughters.
Parents carry and pass on genes for both dominance and
submission, no
matter what they are in your life.
Humans have social instincts because we are a social
creature. We have
an instinct for finding our place within a hierarchy, for
dominance and
submission. Nobody is dominant at all times. A person is
dominant in
those circumstances where they rise above. Everybody is
submissive at
times, dominant at other times.
Some people are born more talented, more assertive, more
intelligent.
Some people tend to rise to a dominant position in life,
and they are
as likely to be women as men. Women and men do differ in
how they
process experience, and they do have their separate gifts
and
weaknesses.
Anybody can be put in a no-win situation, and be robbed of
opportunities. Anybody can be forced by circumstance to
accept
humiliation and hardship as a fact of life. Anybody can be
prevented
from reaching their full potential, if enough obstacles are
placed
before them. Anyone can be stunted, even stopped short, and
for any
number of reasons.
The reasons used to prevent females from participating to
the fullest
extent in social leadership are false and the motives for
clinging to
the patriarchal model are ignoble. Women are not taking it
anymore,
they are standing up and standing together all over the
world, and
plenty of right-minded men stand with them, and for all the
right
reasons. These women and men are the ones who will
ultimately rule,
and the social forms that they institute will stand,
gloriously, for a
long, long time.

Agreed. The real reason it's hard to explain our instincts
for female
supremacy is because they spring from our guts, our
sexuality, the seat
of human mystery. The experience of awe, of having become
acquainted
with deep mystery, is always very difficult to explain or
rationalize,
although that doesn't reduce it's power to influence us.
The awareness
of deep reality is an animal awareness, and non-verbal,
non-rational.
The rational part of our awareness is a fairly recent
addition, and
it's needed for language and mathematical calculation. The
more
important part of our human mind is more primitive.
Our sexuality is one of the most primitive aspects of our
being. That
doesn't mean is out-of-date...DNA constantly upgrades
itself with every
generation. It builds upon itself organically, not
mechanically, in
ways we can sense, even appreciate, but not surpass.
We understand Nature through experience, through a
relationship with
Her. Men have to experience female supremacy...women have
to experience
male submissiveness, to know it. It's the like the
difference between
talking about a hug you watched, and giving/getting one
yourself.
Talking about a rainbow or earthquake is not like
experiencing one. I
have experienced essential male submission, and female
dominance, lots
of it, and I believe in it like I believe in air. Do you
believe in
air? But try to *explain* air...
"Well, see, it's everywhere (well, not everywhere, but
everywhere you
want to be), and it's invisible, but you can see it when it
moves
(well, you can't really see it, but you can see what things
do when
moved by it) and you can feel it when it moves around you
and blows
your hat off...and sometimes it can be really fierce and
destroy whole
towns and stuff. But basically you just need it to live."

One more nail...
For another recent overview, please see this week's
_Business Week_ (dated May 13) cover story, titled
_Abuse Of Power_. There has also been extensive recent
reporting of the Mitsubishi situation...
I have three -that's three- close woman friends caught up
in similar situations, ranging from a hostile work
environment
to monster class action lawsuits.
Yet more nails...
(BW is a pretty good US resource, btw, and is much more
pro-Woman and generally progressive than others of its
kind. It's also becoming more small business in content,
and has extensive reporting on social issues. The same
issue
just cited cited has a special section on small business.)
What puzzles me is that some men in management seem to be
getting
worse, not better, as public awareness increases.

Hello --
I don't. The more I know a woman, like her, lover her, the
more she turns
me on. I cannot do "one night stands."
I cannot do "one night stands" either. The impersonal
feeling about it does
little to encourage my arousal. I feel more like an object,
as opposed to
feeling
like a person.
While I received some
enjoyment from the excitement, etc -- very little really,
when balanced with
the guilt -- sexually it was a disaster. I was barely
functional, while I am
NEVER disfunctional with my Wife.
This is wonderful to hear. I am amazed that more men do not
feel this way, and
if they do feel this way, that they don't communicate it.
I've had several
one-night
stands and always felt unclean and/or used...not at the
time, but the next
morning,
for several reasons. The biggest being: the man never
called back to even
say, " Thank
you, it was nice, but you're not my type.." or something
like that.. Is
this a courage
problem or was is a lack of self-respect and guilt on their
part? I've
always wondered.
Through my honesty with her about my bdsm
needs, we have since redefined our own relationship through
bdsm and have had
marvelous results. I think that only through respect for
and knowledge of a
woman can many men find fulfillment (corny as it may
sound.)
It may be corny, but it is also very refreshing hearing
this from a man. It
just
shows how important communication is between a loving
couple.

Please do not discount the reality that there are those who

happily wash my car, clean my studio, or some other meanial
task just
because I desire it, and I give them a different sort of
appreciation
then they might recieve from someone who is not bdsm

Heh. A -very- small percentage, I suspect less than the two
in fifty you
mention. And in my posts, I never said that there were
absolutely no men
who would do the lawn, the dishes, wash the car, etc,
simply for the sake
of their partner. Flame, I know some -vanilla- men who cook
dinner and do
the dishes, because their wife is having a long hard day at
work. What I
argued against was the statement that "true subs" do
whatever they're told,
and submit, purely for the sake of service itself.
The ideal of "Service" is extremely out of favor in western
civilization,
in so far as performing deeds purely for the sake of duty,
of knowing that
the server has been of, well, service. In the case of the
vanilla person,
he's probably not doing dishes purely for the sake of
knowing the dishes
have been well washed, nor for the sake of the dishes
themselves. Odds are,
it's because of a love for his partner, out of a desire for
equity in the
relationship. As you yourself state - "I give them a
different sort of
appreciation .... [that is possibly bdsm oriented]".
In particular, I've argued that those who go outside their
marriage or
other primary relationship, surreptitiously, are not likely
to be doing so
purely for the sake of being of service. Else they could
stay home and
wash the wife's car, clean the wife's studio. For whatever
reason, (most
often sexual) the sub wants something -other- than the
knowledge that he's
been of service. It may be sexual, it may be that he wants
criticism and
humiliation, it might simply be the pleasure of being able
to spend time in
the company of a dominant woman, or other rewards - a
flogging, the sight
of the woman in fetish attire, the thrill of kneeling and
kissing her foot.
...If it was purely for the joys of serving, the sub
wouldn't need to
go out of the primary relationship...
I wish this was true, but it is not,and (believe it or not,
I really
don't care if you don't) I usually discuss ways for my
clients to introduce
this into their existing relationship.
Heh. Regardless of whether or no you care, I do believe
you. In my opinion,
ProDommes -can- be a profession - a vocation requiring
specialized training,
and possessed of its own set of professional ethics. But. I
suspect you
counsel them on how to introduce bdsm into their
relationship, yes? Not
how to incorporate washing the car or doing housework into
their marriage.
Yes, submissives can have altruistic sides to their
submission - but it is
very doubtful that it's purely for the sake of serving.
Else - what could
possibly be more masochistic, than a submissive living and
serving within a
purely vanilla non-bdsm relationship? ;)
Point is, the submissive finds satisfaction in serving
-you-, another sub-
missive finds content in pleasing her or his owner - a
specific person, and
typically, there is some fair amount of pleasure and reward
in knowing that
they've pleased you. Or, they eroticize the act - for
instance, I know one
who is very happy, excited even, to be scrubbing his
mistress' bathroom. I
will admit that it's partly for the sake of serving - but
also because he
finds it erotic. (Now if only -I- could find a domme who
found doing house-
work erotic....
And again - I'm not saying there's not people who serve
without hope of
reward, although I -do- think they're getting something out
of it. But if
it were purely for the sake of being of service, they could
serve their
spouse, without there being any BDSM or D/s to it. *sigh*

A lot of women _don't_ like the idea of having a man to do

tells them
it should be the other way around. Some are simply anal
retentive and
feel that no one can clean/cook/whatever as well as they
can, and so
don't want someone else trying to do it for them. Some are
simply not
naturally dominant, and not inclined to have to deal with
being in
charge of someone else. Etc.
What's my point? There are many kinds of women out there.
Not all of
them are going to want to be in charge of a relationship.
Among
those, there are some who even if they could overcome the
cultural
"men should be on top" brainwashing STILL wouldn't want to
be in
charge. It's their choice, and their right to make that
choice.
It's good to be honest. It's good that you are sure to tell
them
fairly up front. It saves you both some pain in the end.
It's one
thing to get into a vanilla relationship thinking it's all
you want
and need, and finding out differently later (a horrifying
thing,
though :/). Sabotaging yourself in the beginning by getting
into a
serious vanilla relationship with someone who is not
accepting of your
non-vanilla needs _and_ not willing to allow you an outside
owner/partner seems rather self-defeating to me.

with
similar interests)? Participate in forums, both online and
real
life, where Femsupremacists share their views. You won't
find a
bounty of places that are only Femsupremacists. You can
also try
overlapping forums, such as Feminist, Female Domination,
etc., where
Femsupremacists may spend their time. Getting a little more
generic,
there are women's groups that accept aid from men, and
there are
general BDSM groups.
Also, if you show respect to women in everything you do,
you may find
Femsupremacists in places you didn't expect, like a cycling
club or a
chess club.
The key is patience and attentiveness. Be attentive to your
own
actions. If you consistantly show that you are respectful
of women, a
woman who desires that quality may perhaps show an interest
in you.

Subject: Sex and Love :)
Message-Id: <199604301251.FAA03102@dfw-ix6.ix.netcom.com
In response to me Magnus wrote:
I feel that renting the
skills or body of someone to help you get off is a form of

If this reasoning is extrapolated a bit (OK, much :)), one
could
argue that marriage is a from legalized prostitution,
unless the
partners keep separate economies.
In a slightly longer stretch, anyone who does anything for
money is a
kind of prostitute. :) Mind you, I don't personally feel
that
prostitution is in itself wrong or bad...In the ancient
matriarchies
prostitutes were sacred. The priestesses of the Goddess
were
prostitutes, and sex was celebrated as a gift of the
Goddess.
...men usually don't associate sex and love.
:::groan::: not that old chestnut again. Look, if women
always have to
associate sex and love, then *explain prostitutes*. Do they
*love*
every customer? Huh? Do they? In olden times, they did. The
temple
priestesses dispensed charity in the form of sexual and
spiritual love
combined in a single embrace.
Sex is sex, and love is love. At least that's what many
say. To women
sex and love seem to be two sides of the same coin.
Then again, maybe that whole idea is simply false, and a
product of the
Patriarchal P.R. machine. I hate to disillusion you, but
women like
sex for sex's sake too. Women are more fitted by nature to
entertain
many lovers, as opposed to just one. Women are more
generous by
nature, and can juggle multiple relationships with finesse.
Throughout history it has been the goal of the male to
impregnate
as many females as possible.
Nonsense. I disagree. Throughout "history" men have been
virulently
anti-sex and anti-woman, to such an extent that you
couldn't get a Xian
church blessing for your marriage until the late
middle-ages. Still,
at this point in history the question becomes: how to avoid
impregnating women...the overpopulation of the world is
reaching
emergency status. Enough with the endlessly rocking
cradles! Women
contribute equally to the genetic heritage of every child.
At the
moment of conception men and women are equal. At no point
after that
are they equal. Woman's personal investment in children is
overwhelming, and her parental primacy is absolute. Women
have a
greater personal stake in every single child, and should by
rights have
total control over mating. This business of men having
control and
running amok has got to stop.
This could be the reason why men so easily disassociate sex
and love.
Men have been taught to disassociate themselves from women,
and to deny
women except for the most basic necessary things. Sex and
love
combined is women's knockout power, and men have been
warned against it
for generations, because it's a great power, and the
patriarchs don't
want to let women have power. If you don't want someone to
have power,
or you want for yourself someone else's power, you do
things, tell-tale
things. The anti-sex, anti-woman people have left a paper
trail a
whole world wide, not to mention the stone monuments. Do
your
homework! That's why the church was anti-marriage for so
long. They
didn't bless marriage unless they could enforce
male-dominant marriage.
If the male can also succeed in impregnating another woman,
with whom he is not about to form a family, he will have
given his
set of genes a greater chance of living on, but another man
and woman
will carry the burden of raising the child. I.e. he can
have more
offspring than he himself can support together with the his
partner.
Meanwhile, she also can be entertaining any number of men.
His kids
might not be "his". :) If she mates and disposes of the
man, then has
a lesbian lover help her raise the child, the child's
chance for
successfully carrying on the mother's genes and values is
also very
good (although naturally I wouldn't necessarily advocate
such a course
of action). :)

1. go through the message you want to respond too

Flood an' flame, people - how about DELETEing some of those
lines from your
replies? I rather doubt that your computer or software is
incapable of the
feat, therefore it would seem that either a bunch of you
are too lazy, too
stupid, or just don't care enough to do so, and it's
causing the list / list
computer to have problems. Is this really too complicated
to understand?
Personally, if I were the administrator I'd be giving
offenders warnings
about their inappropriate use of quoting, and then I'd be
removing them from
the list. Being a member of the femsupremacy maillist is a
-privilege-, not
a right, not something people are inalienably entitled to
because they have

computer, fixing it
on her personal time when the list crashes, or when there's
problems with
the members / postings to the list, and guess what - she's
a fairly busy
person, with lots of things she could be doing instead of
babysitting the
list an' fixing problems that didn't need to have happened.
At some point
it wouldn't be all that amazing if she decides it isn't
worth it, at which
point this avenue of communication will disappear. It'd be
nice if some
people would get a clue before that happens.
(Oh yes - I realize that I could've said this nicer, an'

I feel the same way. Sex usually isn't good with a

perhaps this is common trait shared by submissive men?
Perhaps the one night stands aren't about sex for more

My feeling is that sex is often about power, especially
when the
participants do not know each other well (for example, a
one night stand).
Dom men that I know rarely pass up an opportunity for
sexual intercourse
(penetration) with a new sub if their scene allows it. As
they view it,
power is exercised by using the submissive partner for sex,
sometimes in
a very impersonal manner.
In my experience, many dom females exercise this power by
witholding
intercourse and limiting the range of other sexual play. As
a
relationship progresses, these limits tend to expand. When
I have a new
play partner to whom I am genuinely attracted, I am usually
up for going
wherever she wishes to take me. I've been in this situation
perhaps 30
times since I've been active in BDSM (nine years) and only
_once_ did my
partner choose to use me for sex the first night.
My feeling is that many of the "typical" SM players
described above are
working within the social convention wherein sex on the
first date is
considered a victory for the male and a surrender on the
part of the
female. This particular convention may (emphasis on _may_)
have served a
purpose before the advent of birth control, but I feel that
it does much
more harm than good. Besides the most obvious and severe
problem (it
encourages rape), I feel it defines some rather limiting
roles which
continue to affect even my relatively-enlightened BDSM
friends.

Message-Id: <199605020506.WAA13035@dfw-ix6.ix.netcom.com
Regarding Katha Pollitt's book, "Are Women Morally Superior
To Men?" the answer
to that, in my humble opinion, is yes! However, there is a
BIG caveat here.
Though women may be, in a general sense, morally superior
to men, the distinction
is NOT necessarily a huge one. Moreover, there are many
women who are equally as
morally depraved, or more so, than the average morally
challenged male.
I think that in general, the female outlook on the world,
especially as relates
to her interactions with others, is morally superior. The
female 'paradigm' is
less centered on 'me' and more centered on compromising
with the equally legitimate
needs and rights of others.
Interestingly, as with everything else, it is men however
who have written all
the moral codes, created the religions (at least those
practiced today), and
set up the legal and judicial institutions. Men have
created all the constitutions
and have drafted virtually all of the laws. Males
predominate as arbiters of
ethics, law, and morals: men are far more common as judges,
moral philosophers,
and religious leaders (priests, ministers, rabbis, mullahs
-- you name it!)
Why? Partly because (as I've said) males just tend to
dominate things because
of their greater aggressive tendencies. Also, I think,
because males, sensing
their own greater imperfection (as compared with women),
have a stronger need
to control others (and thereby exert controls on their own
behavior from the
outside). Hence the fondness of males for games with lots
of rules: football,
etc. What is American football but a highly organized,
highly ritualized
outlet for naked aggression? The guys who invented it
decided FIRST they needed
an outlet for aggression and SECOND that in order to make
it fair to all (and
thus popular) it would have to have a complex set of rules.
Women, on the other hand, tend to need far less rules.
Women are just nicer!
I also think that were it not for all of the hatred and
anger emanating from the
male of the species, women would be nicer STILL. Yes, women
have egos, and yes,
they can be petty and self-centered and vindictive AND
downright evil. But I think
the faults of the average woman pale in comparison with
those of an Adolf Hitler,
a Jeffrey Dahmer, or for that matter the average
narrow-minded "my way or the
highway" angry white male who worships Angry White Male
gods such as Bob Grant
(the N.Y.C. talk show host who was fired recently for
"hoping for" Ron Brown's
death when he heard of the plane crash). I hope y'all get
my drift here....

I realize my weekness in this regard. That is, a desire to

would be
dissatisfied after a while. I make sure to tell someone I

like the idea of a
man to do their bidding? Lost a lot of girlfriends... But I
believe honesty
is important.
Because this is a Femsupremacy forum, and not a femdom
forum, I'm
going to try to address this from a Femsuprem perspective.
A lot of women _don't_ like the idea of having a man to do
their
bidding. Some can't get past the fact that their culture
tells them
it should be the other way around. Some are simply anal
retentive and
feel that no one can clean/cook/whatever as well as they
can, and so
don't want someone else trying to do it for them. Some are
simply not
naturally dominant, and not inclined to have to deal with
being in
charge of someone else. Etc.
What's my point? There are many kinds of women out there.
Not all of
them are going to want to be in charge of a relationship.
Among
those, there are some who even if they could overcome the
cultural
"men should be on top" brainwashing STILL wouldn't want to
be in
charge. It's their choice, and their right to make that
choice.
It's good to be honest. It's good that you are sure to tell
them
fairly up front. It saves you both some pain in the end.
It's one
thing to get into a vanilla relationship thinking it's all
you want
and need, and finding out differently later (a horrifying
thing,
though :/). Sabotaging yourself in the beginning by getting
into a
serious vanilla relationship with someone who is not
accepting of your
non-vanilla needs _and_ not willing to allow you an outside
owner/partner seems rather self-defeating to me.
How to make friends who are into Femsupremacy (I discuss
making
friends instead of finding mates because the best way to
find a mate
is to not desperately seek one, but instead to make friends
with
similar interests)? Participate in forums, both online and
real
life, where Femsupremacists share their views. You won't
find a
bounty of places that are only Femsupremacists. You can
also try
overlapping forums, such as Feminist, Female Domination,
etc., where
Femsupremacists may spend their time. Getting a little more
generic,
there are women's groups that accept aid from men, and
there are
general BDSM groups.
Also, if you show respect to women in everything you do,
you may find
Femsupremacists in places you didn't expect, like a cycling
club or a
chess club.
The key is patience and attentiveness. Be attentive to your
own
actions. If you consistantly show that you are respectful
of women, a
woman who desires that quality may perhaps show an interest
in you.

the Mistress. Is it "sex" if a guy masturbates by himself
in the
bathroom while reading magazines ?? Nope. Not in *my* book.
Thanks Tasha - I started to reply to this earlier, but held
off to see if
anyone else already had. While "masturbating (someone in
bondage), using
vibrators, dildos, etc" may well constitute sex, a domme
dressing up in
fetish gear for her partner, or flogging the partner or
whatnot certainly
doesn't.
There's a difference between something being 'sexual'
(after all, according
to zbobz, any interaction between a woman and a man is
sexual in nature)
and it being 'sex'. I suspect many professional dommes
engage in activities
which are sexual, but unless the defination of sex is
greatly expanded, it
isn't sex, which is a critical distinction to many people,
not to mention to
the law. (And from a legal pov, masturbation isn't sex -
else virtually all
'lingerie shops' would be shut down for prostitution)
On the other hand, what Laura says about forms of sex being
quite available
for a price is quite likely - not with ProDommes, but with
what I tend to
label "CommDommes", the ones who are in it purely for the
money, often doing
doing 'dominance' as a sideline to the usual lingerie
modeling, 'body scrubs'
and such. Imnsho, a Comm(ercial)Domme is in no way a
ProDomme - doing it
for commercial sake only doesn't make someone a
professional, nor does it
make them a Domme.

Probably because often men usually don't associate sex and
love.
Sex is sex, and love is love. At least that's what many
say. To women
sex and love seem to be two sides of the same coin. I'm not
condoning
the deceipt these men are engaging in towards their
partners, but
this could be part of the explanation why they can justify
it to
themselves.
Throughout history it has been the goal of the male to
impregnate
as many females as possible. This could be the reason why
men so
easily disassociate sex and love. They form a family with
the woman
they love, and they raise children with her. This is
necessary, since
human offspring take so long to reach independance from
their
parents. If the male can also succeed in impregnating
another woman,
with whome he is not about to form a family, he will have
given his
set of genes a greater chance of living on, but another man
and woman
will carry the burden of raising the child. I.e. he can
have more
offspring than he himself can support together with the his
partner.
woman he turns to to "worship"...she made no promise to any
wife...is

Unless the man has decieved her too, she's guilty of
ethically
questionable behavior, but the man carries the by far
largest
responsibility. In this situation he's responsible for
actively
seeking out another woman.
You know what? If I walked in on my slave giving some other

More appropriate than what?
Any interaction between a Woman and man is inherently
sexual
in nature, and patriarchal religions quite aside, payment
for sex of
any kind seems like any other transaction, with both
parties receiving
benefit for consideration.
There is some question about how to define "sex", the verb.
I feel
that if you are doing something with orgasm as a goal that
it's a form
of sex, even if it's just you alone masturbating. I respect
those who
see it differently.
I mean, IMHO being human is essentially a sexual
experience. We are
born sexual beings, and are sexy all our lives (I hope).
But in my
mind sex the verb is to strive for someone's orgasmic
relief, even if
you are only helping somebody else get theirs. I feel that
renting the
skills or body of someone to help you get off is a form of
prostitution. I feel paying with gifts is still payment.
Certainly if orgasm is not the goal or the product of the
experience
then it's just fantasy, a psychodrama, massage, or dance,
or other form
of entertainment. Here is where the Pro doms walk their
line. Often,
(and for some, always) they step over it.
All I know is that when your average man or woman who is
into BDSM and
and the femdom life are lovers, they have sex! BDSM is
sexual to the
vast majority of people who are into it, unless their S/M
is so
fanatical that their ceremonies transcend sex completely. I
know of a
few sadomasochists who cum from being whipped, but most cum
the usual
way: from oral sex, intercourse (vaginal or anal), and
masturbation,
solitary or shared.
Back to the question of worshipping women non-sexually. "I
love my
wife, but she doesn't want to be worshipped, so I need some
other woman
to worship, but I'll do it non-sexually, to be technically
faithful to
my wife." Is this not in some way missing the mark way
wide? Can
someone justify this practice (which is fairly common)?
What does it
have to do with feminism, female supremacy, or
*gynocentrism*?
I do feel very strongly that the world worship is being
employed rather
loosely. FYI the dictionary sez: Worship: v. To express
reverent honor,
as by prayers; to show admiration or regard for.
I think that if you are lying to your wife and hiding your
activities
from SHE TO WHOM YOU ARE BOUND BY THE OATH OF MARRIAGE,
that you are
not honoring or showing regard for her, but quite the
opposite. How a
man can honor another woman with money, gifts, erections

this? The

There is a wonderful bit of dialog in *Pulp Fiction*. Two
gangsters
are talking about whether it was appropriate for their boss
to throw
another guy they knew out a 4th story window for giving the
boss's wife
a foot massage. Hmmmmm. Foot massage. They debate both
sides, and in
the end agree that a food massage is an inappropriately
intimate kind
of contact to lavish on the boss's wife.
You know what? If I walked in on my slave giving some other

Good day Ms Goodwin:
Thank you for the interesting comments:
I do know of many vanilla/kink couples who solved the
problem by
deciding together to allow the kinky one to cultivate a
sidecar BDSM
relationship. As long as this agreement is freely entered
into, I
think it's a valid option. But such arrangements have their
own
dangers, and not the least of them is the possibility of
the sidecar
relationship becoming the primary one. Love and passion are
not
governable by reason and a sense of fair-play. What looks
good in
theory is in fact fraught with peril. It's not jolly fun
for the
vanilla partner to sit home alone time after time...HAVE A
HEART!
But if the kink partner of the relationship is totally
committed to his
Wife, what he learns from his submissive relationship can't
do anything but
help him in his relationship with his Wife. And if he is
totally committed
to his Wife and family, there need not be any worry about
leaving them.
Rather he would learn to provide better for them.
I personally feel that marriage should mean something, and
what it
means is between the wife and husband. What they *agree to*
is fine
with me. Few vanilla wives enjoy knowing that their husband
is
dissatisfied with the marital sex to such an extent that he
needs
outside amusement. That's a fact that husbands know very
well, which
is why so many lie and sneak around...they know damn well
that their
wives wouldn't like it, and would not approve. Me, with my
female's
perspective: I'm on the side of the wives.
You are assuming that submissive men seek a relationship
outside of their
marriage for sex. A true submissive serves his Mistress for
the joy of
serving Her. Anything he receives is either a gift from
Her; or She feels
so concerned about him that any corrective measures are
given out to help
him become a better person.
Thank you, Ms Goodwin

I was in an unhappy marriage with a husband who was

I chose to endure uncertainly and trial, including poverty
and other
privations, to hit the road with my 2 babies in search of a
better
life.
I eventually got my feet under me, and I daresay it hasn't
been easy
for me. Doing the right thing is often not easy. I advocate
doing the
difficult thing, if that is what you must do to live as you
think is
best.
I found a compatable husband, and we have been a happy
couple for 11
years, married 9 years as of today. * Happy Anniversary, My
Love *
We have forged a powerful bond with a white hot passion and
a shared
vision of "how it should be". This passion sometimes
includes others,
if we both agree.
Loneliness need not be our lot. There are millions of
female
supremacists, male and female, and if one makes the effort
one can find
oneself among them. That is what I have done, while
maintaining
healthy ties with the rest of the world. I did it step by
step, and
whenever possible I made choices that affirmed my desired
way of life.
It does require a certain determination and clarity of
vision. If you
lack these qualities, then work on developing them.
Speaking of love, I hope you know a decent person will not
betray one's
loved ones. Dishonesty and double-dealing is a form of
betrayal.
As for fun, it can be tremendous fun to finally feel like a
winner in
the game of life. You can't beat the odds unless you try.
If there is
something you want for yourself then you have to play for
it, and keep
playing until you get good at playing, and keep getting
good until you
win. Then keep winning until you can win with ease.
I do know of many vanilla/kink couples who solved the
problem by
deciding together to allow the kinky one to cultivate a
sidecar BDSM
relationship. As long as this agreement is freely entered
into, I
think it's a valid option. But such arrangements have their
own
dangers, and not the least of them is the possibility of
the sidecar
relationship becoming the primary one. Love and passion are
not
governable by reason and a sense of fair-play. What looks
good in
theory is in fact fraught with peril. It's not jolly fun
for the
vanilla partner to sit home alone time after time...HAVE A
HEART!
I personally feel that marriage should mean something, and
what it
means is between the wife and husband. What they *agree to*
is fine
with me. Few vanilla wives enjoy knowing that their husband
is
dissatisfied with the marital sex to such an extent that he
needs
outside amusement. That's a fact that husbands know very
well, which
is why so many lie and sneak around...they know damn well
that their
wives wouldn't like it, and would not approve. Me, with my
female's
perspective: I'm on the side of the wives.
I say if you want to act like a single guy, get a divorce.
If you want
to act like a devoted married man, get with the program and
rediscover
your love for your wife. In short, get on one ding-dong
side or the
other.

An awful lot of them expect that the domina just states
that for legal
reasons, and pester the dominatrix for things of a sexual
nature, whether
begging to orally satisfy the woman or whatnot. Some 'pros'
actually
allow it, but mostly those subs -did- fall of a turnip
truck, so to speak.
You are assuming that submissive men seek a relationship
outside of
their marriage for sex. A true submissive serves his
Mistress for the
joy of serving Her. Anything he receives is either a gift
from Her; or
She feels so concerned about him that any corrective
measures are
given out to help him become a better person.
Nice fantasy. There's an lot of different kinds of 'real'
submissives, but
I can't think of too many who serve purely for the joy of
serving. Let a
domme simply tell her sub to come in and clean her
residence, shovel the
snow from her walk and fix her car and then leave, there's
not many a sub
who'd enjoy that, or who would return often. Let her dress
up in fetish
gear and torment the sub, or tease, or whatnot, it's a
totally different
story. But then it's not purely for the sake of service, is
it?
If it was purely for the joys of serving, the sub wouldn't
need to go out
of the primary relationship. He or she could find many ways
to serve inside
it - after all, how many wives wouldn't love to come home
and find the
house cleaned, dishes washed, and a nice dinner almost
ready for the table?
This would most certainly be serving, and that 'joy of
serving' should be
there, even if the vanilla sweetie just blinks in surprise
and kisses her
husband on the cheek in pleased gratitude.
If that -isn't- enough, and the sub needs to seek something
else.... I'm
not much of one for marriage, but even I think it should
mean -something-.
It's one thing if the wife knows and approves of the
husband going outside
the marriage for submission or bdsm - but mostly, that's
not the case.
Guess I don't see how to reconcile some of the views here,
that equate
being submissive to furthering womankind / female
supremacy, with being
dishonest to or cheating on the woman, the wife, at home.
Then again, I'm
just an unsophisticated male with a decidedly black and
blue, er, white,
view on certain things. ;-

Hey Peter (and anybody else who's still tuning in), Pro
dominants say
there will be no sex to get around anti-prostitution laws.
BDSM is not
ideally non-sexual. Its magical allure has its roots sunk
deep in the
sex drive and the social urge to connect.
Even with no blow-jobs nor hand jobs, no intercourse, no
oral worship
nor "forced" masturbation, no occasion at all for the sub's
sexual
relief, BDSM is still *supposed to be* an intense sensual
and
psychosexual adventure. As a matter of fact, Pro doms *are*
trafficing
in orgasms, as well as sexual fantasy enactments, and
anyone who thinks
otherwise is naÔve.
Here's how it works: Gal runs an ad that says: Ms. Domina
Payne - BDSM
fantasy - no sex - no straight. In/Out.
Guy calls and says "Hey Ms. Payne, is it true there is no
sex
involved?" She says yes, because how does she know the guy
is no cop?
Guy comes anyway, sincerely expecting no sex. If something
about him
seems fishy, he won't get any. If she trusts him, or is so
desperate
to build her business that she's reckless, or has Mafia
protection, he
may get a vibrator applied to his balls within minutes. :)
There are a few very Èlite Pros who are so expert or so
famous (or so
old) that they seem like royalty, and extreme patience and
courtesy is
required, but they still can be had, if they like you. Or,
if you show
enough cash. :)
Here's the scoop: "Pro" doms, in general, are in business
to make
money, and they don't make mucho money by refusing to get
guys off.
They are just trying to stay out of jail.
In my career as a BDSM activist I have run up against the
idea that
*lovers*, that *husbands and wives* who are into S/M don't
have regular
sex! That a sadomasochist _substitutes_ B/D games for
intercourse,
etc., which I hope *everyone* will one day know is a
totally false
idea! That's what makes people think we are freaks: we
don't have
"normal" sex. Well, this insane notion is being promulgated
by the pro
doms, who are only too glad to act as spokespeople for the
BDSM
community. I actually have heard, more than once in recent
memory,
some Pro or another saying that not even any real pain is
involved!
WHHHAAAAT!? So save yer money and go to Disneyland instead,
then! I
mean, PUH-LeeeeeZe! I have been known to throw things at
the TV on
occasions like this, because such *LIES* make _my_ job
harder to do,

Happy Anniversary

Thanks MyKey :)
A couple of you guys have said to me, "Does Bruce know how
lucky he
is?" which is flattering to my vanity, for which I'm
grateful :) But
it's not as if I'm showing charity to put up with him.
Actually, luck
had little to do with it. Bruce is a wonderful guy!
He has many sterling qualities, not the least of which is
his truly
supportive, steadfast devotion. He's a good looking fellow
with a
cheerful demeanor and love of fun in all forms. He's sexy,
a hot
love-slave, and in general is a very loving and tender
husband (Cooks!
Does housework! Great father! *Cleans oven without being
asked*!).
He's a man among men, a regular guy to the world at large,
but
something about him tells you he is probably holding some
wild cards.
Probably the nipple rings... ;)
He is at his best in a crisis. Bruce is a huge-hearted
fellow with
tremendous courage, stubborness and a zest for victory. He
will never
believe in the possibility of failure or defeat. There is a
way around
any obstacle, that's his honest opinion. We have faced some
terrifying
trials together, and when ever I was afraid, or unsure of
which way to
turn, he would smile and say, "We're gonna beat this
thing!" and we
would. He's always right about that.
He has some flaws, of course. He can get on my nerves at
times,
because when things are going well and are peaceful, he's
bored! I
have to tie him up and torture him just to keep him sane.

Hi ,
Netscape has provided Advancing Women, business and
professional
women's networking site, with a real time chat room for any
of us to
use networking or however we want. Since Netscape is
watching our
volume to see if we get to maintain this, we really need to
develop
some usage. I hope you will help out by using it. You can
invite
any of your friends or organization members from all over
to meet you
there to talk, hold meetings, discuss strategy, vote,
whatever. It
would help all of us women who are trying to develop a
presence on the
Net and advance women's goals to be able to have a
permanent forum to
meet and discuss issues which concern us. Advancing Women
would really
appreciate it, also. Here's how to access the "chat or
conference" room.
You will need the software, Netscape Chat 2 which is free
and takes
just a minute to automatically download to your computer.
You can
either go directly to Netscape at
http://home.netscape.com/comprod/chat_install.html)
or, you can go to
http://advancingwomen.com/com.menu.html
and click on "Forums" which will take you directly to the
Netscape
download, and click where they tell you.
A moment or two later, the download will be finished and on
your
computer will be Netscape Chat 2. software which looks a
little like
a blue swirly marble. When you click on it some dialog
boxes appear
and ask a couple of questions which you know the answers to
(like your
name).
Here's the info you need to fill in ( I think the top line
is already
filled in, for host and port but I've included the info
anyway:
Host: iapp.netscape.com Port: 6667
Real Name: (anything ) Nick Name: (anything )
User account login : (anything) Password: (leave it blank)
Once connected, join the room "AdvancingWomen" (in one
word) with
the key : "gretchen".
That's it. You're connected. You just type whatever you
want to say.
On the left is a list of who else is in the room just then.
If no one's
there, you may want to leave a message and come back or
send an email
and invite someone over.
Thanks

THE FOLLOWING STORY, "TIFFANY FROM ATLANTA", IS INTENDED
FOR MATURE
READERS ONLY. MINORS SHOULD NOT READ THIS.
TIFFANY FROM ATLANTA: A MODERN LOVE STORY
(This is just a Teaser: This is not the whole text of this
story.)
You ask me how did I meet Tiffany and my mind drifts back
to that crowded nightclub
in Atlanta four years ago. Tiffany was just starting
college then, and in fact her
school was not in Georgia at all, but in North Carolina.
She was just "back home"
in Atlanta for the long weekend, hanging with her usual
multiracial group of friends,
the kids she spent her high school years with, kids who
were now scattered at a dozen
universities across Georgia and across the nation. All
reunited in their favorite
Atlanta night spot for first evening of what they hoped
would be a long, long weekend.
I was with my best friend Rudy from work. He fixed the
computers at our publishing
firm. And a great troubleshooter he was. Only problem was,
he couldn't get a date.
He wasn't a bad looking guy, it was just that he was
somewhat misogynistic -- in
laymen's terms, he hated women. He also wore geeky clothes
and talked too loudly,
on occasion. But he had certain advantages over me. Where I
stood no taller than
5'7", Rudy was 6'1". In theory at least, he could date a
wider range of women
than I could.
And now to Tiffany. Both Rudy and I noticed her, standing
off near the bar surrounded
by a bevy of friends. Could be admirers, I thought. It was
a group of guys and
girls. And except for one black guy who was quite tall,
Tiffany (I didn't know her
name yet, so I just thought of her as "the big blonde")
towered above all of them.
I couldn't estimate how tall she must have been -- she was
too far away, the lights
were dim and multicolored, the smoke around the bar was
thick, and I was juiced.
She was a very attractive girl. Her hair was really more
flaxen than yellow-blonde,
and styled in a neo-retro flip, sort of like Mary Tyler
Moore on her old show but
instead of stiff, it was gorgeously flowing -- liquid. A
lot of the time, the flip
hung down on one side covering her eye or half her face,
and sometimes she tossed it
back insouciantly, with a shake of her head, or with her
hand. Her eyes were big
with nice, high, arching brows, and her mouth was big with
full lips. She was wearing
what looked like a man's white dress shirt, only with
fuller sleeves, and a smart black
vest that seemed a size or two too small. She talked and
talked with her friends,
for what seemed like hours. Rudy drifted off. I stayed and
watched, mesmerized.
Then I headed forward through the crowd, closer to the bar.
By this point it must
have been 11:30, and that meant the night was still young,
didn't it.
I ordered a Zima this time, to be different, and actually
scored a seat near the corner
of the bar. I noticed the big blonde's crowd of acolytes
had dispersed and rejoined
several times as the night wore on and the music changed
from dance to funk to latin
back to dance and back to funk. Once, the blonde actually
left the scene, but I knew
since her fans were still around in their little knot, that
she'd be back. She came
back, carrying a drink. Her chief acolyte, the towering
black guy, pulled out a
cigarette, lit up, and in due course, offered her a drag.
She took it gingerly
between three fingers, tossed back her hair, and inhaled in
one cool, sweeping motion
that could have won her an Academy Award for "Best Femme
Fatale".
"Aaagh!" she choked, and gave it back to her stylishly
dressed friend. Soon, a
tall white woman, a brunette, equally stylishly dressed,
sidled up to the black guy.
She was very attractive, but I preferred the blonde. The
couple embraced, whispered
in each other's ears, and walked away together. That was
the last I saw of them that
night.
The blonde's group started to disperse -- again. She
finally, empty glass and
napkin in hand, approached the only open spot at the bar --
right next to my stool!
The bartender was way at the other end, and it was a very
long bar. I turned to get
a closer look at her, trying to look casual, and hoping
with every fiber of my being
that geeky Rudy would not show up again.
I now saw that this young woman was far more gorgeous than
I could have imagined,
through the cigarette smoke and garish lights. She now
stood inches away, crammed
almost awkwardly in the corner close to a door from which
whizzed, every few minutes,
a waitress adorned with trays and bottles of Molsen and
Bud. She held out a $5
bill in a rather large, but well-manicured hand. She cocked
her head down at me
and the hair dangled in front of her eye. They were blue.
Large and clear and
blue as the Atlantic. And quite intelligent looking. Her
facial features were
perfectly symmetrical and clearly defined. With high
cheeks, her nose and chin were
particularly strong, complementing each other's definition
and symmetry. The chin
was slightly dimpled, but there was not a touch of
harshness to her face. It was
at once utterly impressive and somehow sweet as a little
girl's.
But the most impressive thing about that face was the
absolute perfection of her
complection. It was baby soft and flawless, and it glowed,
setting off the blueness
of her dazzling eyes.
Actually, as she stood there, I did not know what to make
of this girl, for she seemed
to have both the qualities of a fresh-faced, wide-eyed
school girl and a strong,
confident woman. And she was so tall! By now, I was
starting to recover from my
night's indulgence (I had made several quick trips to the
men's room.) I still
clutched my Zima but looked more carefully at this girl, as
she didn't seem to mind a
bit. We exchanged a few words and smiles, drunken
platitudes about the bar being so
croweded.
Yes, she was a tall one. And well proportioned. I could see
beneath the little
black vest that she was well-endowed. Her assets were full,
well-formed, and proud
beneath the vest. They stood high and daunting on a
slender, lanky frame. I say
lanky because her legs seemed to start so high on her body!
It was almost unnatural
-- at least for what I was used to, in my family, where all
the girls were under 5'4"
and had short little legs!
The black corduroy pants this goddess was wearing fit so
well, I almost had to gasp.
Her hips were nicely curved, but not broad. The corduroy
clung lovingly to every
inch and I could see there was not the slightest hint of a
"tummy." This girl was in
shape, too! I wondered what she would look like with a lot
less clothing on -- maybe
a tiny tank top to show off her assets, and a skimpy pair
of shorts. In my fantasy,
the tank top didn't quite meet the shorts, and a large
swath of the tightest,
firmest I ever saw was midriff was visible -- cut and
dimpled and almost concave.
Suddenly, I was shaken from my reverie. She asked my where
I was from! I told
her San Jose, California, originally. I had graduated from
UC Davis, with a degree
in English. She was an Atlanta native, born and raised in
the sprawling, wealthy
outer suburbs of the fastest growing city in the South. She
spoke with a sweet
Georgia lilt, but her voice seemed to contain none of the
quality of helpless deference
that traditional "Southern Belles" usually affected,
especially when talking to men.
There was a distinct charm to her, but it was that of a
jaded suburban princess,
raised amidst malls and football games and Volvos. Her name
was Tiffany and she
attended a well-known private university in North Carolina,
where she was an
Economics major. Impressive, I thought. She was a freshman.
I was twenty-seven.
And I was getting a hard-on, I realized. Still no sign of
the bartender, and indeed,
I was wishing he would never come. I stood up to allow more
room for my slowly
growing member.
I stood up and looked into Tiffany's eyes as her hair hung
down and her face took on
a serious look. She must have been six foot -- six one, six
two? How could I know?
Quickly, I did some mental comparisons. Rudy, that poor
geek, was 6'1". This girl
could actually be taller than Rudy! I looked down at her
shoes and they seemed to be
flat-heeled Hush Puppies, two toned. Nice. Good taste. This
girl was tall and
big -- her shoulders broad -- I could see that even under
the vest. Her flaxen flip
almost touched my face. Our faces were close. Perfect,
glistening teeth were
concealed then revealed by lips that were big and full,
softly sculpted, and had their
own natural redness and moistness. It seemed that no model,
no world-famous
supermodel, could hope to compare or compete this
undeniable beauty, here on display
for everyone to see!
I felt so intimidated standing next to this girl. Her hair,
I could tell, smelled
sweet and fresh, a powerful aphrodisiac, for those saucy
flaxen locks were thick and
lustrous. The flippy 'do framed her high-angled cheeks, her
wide, stunning eyes,
and gracefully shaped, kissable red lips. There was not a
hint of makeup on this girl.
I could see it was an alien thing to her -- she never
needed it.
I felt pushed close to her body as folks around me jostled
for seats at the bar.
But I was oblivious to them and lost in this girl's looks.
I was so mesmerized that
I forgot all about my hard-on -- the first time in my life
I could remember that this
had happened to me. A forgotten erection! Not one that
merely fizzled out, not one
that drooped and died, but one which became forgotten. If
it was still hard and
stiff, I had no way of knowing because I couldn't take my
eyes off this girl.
And something inside of me kept telling me that this was a
dream, that the gorgeous
female in front of me was not real, or that she couln't
possibly be so -- so tall!
Was she an athlete/model? Something produced in a genetic
factory? She was so big,
she could have played football, I thought -- with the guys,
and I mean the big guys.
But she wasn't stocky or clunky or thickset. She was big
and had a lanky grace, I
could tell, even though she was wearing that little black
vest and I couldn't quite
make out the silhouette, the true contours, of her
obviously athletic form.
"You want to dance?" I asked, absentmindedly but longingly.
I realized "Brick
House" by the Commodores was playing. She smiled a dazzling
smile, and said,
"Sure, let's go!" She pulled me onto the dance floor with
one hand about my wrist...

I realize my weekness in this regard. That is, a desire to

It's obvious that you are very respectful to women.
Nowhere is it written that you can't be respectful to men,

Friends,
Many of the messages in the last several days have dealt
with the
sanctity of marriage and different peoples' response to it.
Here, as
always, are a few thoughts.
I have never been married, primarily because I have never
wanted
children and most women I have been deeply attracted to
have considered
kids to be a priority. During my life I have developed the
custom of
forming very strong and completely monogamous
relationships, only to find
them breaking apart after five or more years due to the
childbearing
issue, geographic incompatibility concerning residence, or
once
partner's infidelity. At present I have been involved for
nearly a year
in my first D/s relationship and things are going well.
To me monogamy is very important, but that concept is not
(and should
not be) universal. What matters is complete honesty between
*all* those
involved. No lying, no skulking around, no "chasing" others
who have
already given their commitment to another or others. If you
make a
promise, honor it; if you can no longer do so admit it and
allow your
partner the choice of accepting the "new you" or finding
someone else.
This may seem cold, but I can't help but wonder how I would
have
reacted had I discovered (or admitted) my D/s feelings
while married to
a vanilla woman. It's a lot easier to make your "decisions"
in theory,
but had I been faced with the actual situation I hope I
would have "done the
right thing".......
Peace,
Barry

C'mon people, post s'more stories of tall women. i'm sure
there are
many more people who agree with me.
THE FOLLOWING STORY, "TIFFANY FROM ATLANTA", IS INTENDED
FOR MATURE
READERS ONLY. MINORS SHOULD NOT READ THIS.
TIFFANY FROM ATLANTA: A MODERN LOVE STORY
(This is just a Teaser: This is not the whole text of this
story.)
You ask me how did I meet Tiffany and my mind drifts back
to that crowded nightclub
in Atlanta four years ago. Tiffany was just starting
college then, and in fact her
school was not in Georgia at all, but in North Carolina.
She was just "back home"
in Atlanta for the long weekend, hanging with her usual
multiracial group of friends,
the kids she spent her high school years with, kids who
were now scattered at a dozen
universities across Georgia and across the nation. All
reunited in their favorite
Atlanta night spot for first evening of what they hoped
would be a long, long weekend.
I was with my best friend Rudy from work. He fixed the
computers at our publishing
firm. And a great troubleshooter he was. Only problem was,
he couldn't get a date.
He wasn't a bad looking guy, it was just that he was
somewhat misogynistic -- in
laymen's terms, he hated women. He also wore geeky clothes
and talked too loudly,
on occasion. But he had certain advantages over me. Where I
stood no taller than
5'7", Rudy was 6'1". In theory at least, he could date a
wider range of women
than I could.
And now to Tiffany. Both Rudy and I noticed her, standing
off near the bar surrounded
by a bevy of friends. Could be admirers, I thought. It was
a group of guys and
girls. And except for one black guy who was quite tall,
Tiffany (I didn't know her
name yet, so I just thought of her as "the big blonde")
towered above all of them.
I couldn't estimate how tall she must have been -- she was
too far away, the lights
were dim and multicolored, the smoke around the bar was
thick, and I was juiced.
She was a very attractive girl. Her hair was really more
flaxen than yellow-blonde,
and styled in a neo-retro flip, sort of like Mary Tyler
Moore on her old show but
instead of stiff, it was gorgeously flowing -- liquid. A

hung down on one side covering her eye or half her face,

Ms TashaStar
Thank you for coming to my defense.

-------- REPLY, Original message follows --------
Hey Peter (and anybody else who's still tuning in), Pro
dominants say
there
will be no sex to get around anti-prostitution laws. BDSM
is not
ideally
non-sexual. Its magical allure has its roots sunk deep in
the sex
drive and
the social urge to connect.
Ahem. Some Pro Dominants say there will be no sex, because
there will be
no
sex.
Even with no blow-jobs nor hand jobs, no intercourse, no
oral worship
nor
"forced" masturbation, no occasion at all for the sub's
sexual relief,
BDSM
is
still *supposed to be* an intense sensual and psychosexual
adventure.
As a
matter of fact, Pro doms *are* trafficing in orgasms, as
well as sexua=
l
fantasy enactments, and anyone who thinks otherwise is
na=D4ve.
So, I am naive ?? (only about how to get the two dots over
the i)
Here's how it works: Gal runs an ad that says: Ms. Domina
Payne - BDSM
fantasy
- no sex - no straight. In/Out.
Guy calls and says "Hey Ms. Payne, is it true there is no
sex involved=
?
"
She
says yes, because how does she know the guy is no cop?
Guy comes anyway, sincerely expecting no sex. If something
about him
seems
fishy, he won't get any. If she trusts him, or is so
desperate to
build her
business that she's reckless, or has Mafia protection, he
may get a
vibrator
applied to his balls within minutes. :)
I am really amazed that you think you know *my* business
practise so well.
You
were close till the last bits.
There are a few very =C8lite Pros who are so expert or so
famous (or so
old)
that they seem like royalty, and extreme patience and
courtesy is
required,
but they still can be had, if they like you. Or, if you
show enough
cash.
:)
<<snort I realize I am taking this personally, but
then again, I haven'=
t
seen another Pro defend this statement. Am I the only
professional on the
list
?
I am not so famous, or so old (34) and though I consider
myself elite,
there is
NO way in hell that I EVER have sex with a client. Even if
I was offered =
a
scandalous amount of money.
This is not about sex for me. I make that plain to all
potential clients.
This is about power and the chance to influence someones
life.
IMO and experience, Male Dominants are driven by sex, and
most female
Dominants
are driven by money or power. I am driven by the power
rush.
In my career as a BDSM activist I have run up against the
idea that
*lovers*, that *husbands and wives* who are into S/M don't
have regular
sex! That a sadomasochist _substitutes_ B/D games for
intercourse,
etc., which I hope *everyone* will one day know is a
totally false
idea! That's what makes people think we are freaks: we
don't have
"normal" sex. Well, this insane notion is being promulgated
by the pro
doms, who are only too glad to act as spokespeople for the
BDSM
community.
I can see I will probably not make too many friends on this
list, but
scuze
me, I am a lifestyle Domme as well as a professional
Domina, and was
recently
appointed to the board of directors of our local bdsm
support
club because I am a "good spokesperson" for the bdsm
community.
I am glad to do so, yes. I promulgate no fiction about the
lifestyle. (
or
about my services)
I actually have heard, more than once in recent memory,
some Pro or another saying that not even any real pain is
involved!
WHHHAAAAT!? So save yer money and go to Disneyland instead,
then! I
mean, PUH-LeeeeeZe! I have been known to throw things at
the TV on
occasions like this, because such *LIES* make _my_ job
harder to do,
and my job is hard enough as it is.
Have fun at Disneyland, save money by not throwing things
at the TV. There
is
no doubt Pain involved if S&M is to occur.
Mild-moderate-or severe.
I don't travel in the same circles or hear the same thing
you do since Pro
friends of mine are of the responsible type and I don't
think any of the
ones
I network with or associate with, tell lies about what we
do.
I do not discount that there are plenty "hookers with
whips" that will fit
into
your mold but I am not one, and I know several others like
me.
All I ask is that you refrain from grouping all Pro's in
that stereotype.
You have to recognize something. The job of a Professional
Domina,
is often role playing, acting of sorts. This is for the
person who
requests
a non S&M scene. As a professional, my realm is more
comphrehensive then
just
whipping clients into submission and sending them on their
way...this
isn't
how I work.
I am frequently needed to be a supportive role to someone
who cross dresse=
s
and
does not have S&M desires. Not a *forced* feminization,
but a simple
acceptance of the fact that they enjoy CD'ing.
I am trained in counseling and use it often, sometimes
insidiously to
assist
those who feel abnormal in their desires and seek approval
and acceptance.
In
*these* cases, there would not be pain, but these are not
classified as a
S&M
session.
So, guess what ?? A professional Domina isn't always
wearing leather and
swinging floggers and balancing dildos from her hip.
I hope I didn't ruin too many peoples illusions.
Gosh, this thread is making me furious.

:::Nod::: Exactly. You have summed it all up rather neatly.
This may seem cold, but I can't help but wonder how I would
have
reacted had I discovered (or admitted) my D/s feelings
while married
to a vanilla woman. It's a lot easier to make your
"decisions" in
theory, but had I been faced with the actual situation I
hope I would
have "done the right thing"...
You probably would have done what lots of guys like my
hubby Bruce did.
Start by saying, "Hey, hon, isn't this stuff a turn on?" :)
"No" she would reply.
"Well, I think it's a turn on..." you would sulk.
"It disgusts me," She would say, "...and I think you are
crazy to
suggest it."
"Well, I need it anyway." you would assert.
"Well, go need it somewhere else!" she would reply.
Then she would cry, and instead of feeling sorry, you'd
wish she'd cry
some more.
This whole process would take months or years to complete,
with a whole
shitload of heartache, boredom, desperation, frustration
and anger for
icing. Eventually, you would both lose (you would give up
trying to
feel sexy in the marriage) or you would both win (you would
assert your
right to enjoy sex with a compatable partner).
This stuff is not cold. It's red-hot human drama, complete
with blood,
sweat and tears coming at you in 3-D and stereophonic
sound. Been
there, done that, got the T-shirt, and use it for a rag.

Why is some slut with a whip more worthy of adoration than
your
ever- lovin' wife?
Laura, I have read your posts on other NG's and was
suprised at this
statement from you. I am not a slut.
I never said you were. I never said Pros were. A slut is a
slut,
though. There *are* sluts with whips in existance, y'know.
If it is a fetish need that they can not fufill at home
because the
"ever lovin wife" gets nauseous or mad at the prospect of
the
ever-lovin-hubby's craving, or need, then what do you
propose he do ??
Supress it ??
I propose he be honest with his wife and himself, and take
his lumps,
like a real man.
I have expressed my feelings on this subject on other
threads, but here
we go again: I feel that a marriage is an agreement between
a wife and
husband. Whatever they agree to is fine with me. If that
means
cultivating outside relationships, c0ol.
Here is another question for you. Are we really meant to be
monogomus
beings ??
I don't think so. I'm happily married non-monogamously.
The sex industry dosen't go away because there is a need
for it.
I agree. I have no problem with that.
Beware of believing that I am anti-pro or
anti-sex-industry. I am a
big *active* supporter of the whole adult entertainment
gestalt. I
also assert that there *is* sex going on at (OK, not all)
pro-dom
sessions, and those whips and needles and huge dildos and
stuff aren't
just for looks.

When I first saw this, I was greatly offended. But then -

But then I became offended again.
After seeing the amount of commentary generated by my first
posting, I
believe what I said was legitimate. You may not agree with
me, but you
don't have to get personal. How would you like it if I
referred to you as
"another cunt who passes on the blame because the entire
world doesn't
agree with everything you say."
Which brings me to another point. How much respect should a
woman give to
men when in a dominant-submissive relationship ... or a
forum such as this?
Aren't we allowed to express our feelings? Aren't we
allowed to have opinions?
What is the situation with your husband, Ms Goodwin? Do you
dismiss him as
a troublemaking prick any time anything he says leads to a
situation in
which you are uncomfortable?
I once was in a dialogue with a man who was in a submissive
relationship. I
asked him about what would happen if he disagreed with his
partner on a
subject. He said that if his partner asked him to get
branded, he would
argue, protest and fight ... and then he would get branded.
But at least he
was given an opportunity to comment.
I don't think you're a cunt, Ms Goodwin, but isn't it
better to lead by example?
And, for what it is worth, I have known two professional
dommes, such as
Tasha Star.
Both of them did their job without any sex. And both of
them were looking
for lifelong submissive partners who would be (obviously)
subservient to
them and provide them with exactly what THEY needed in a
traditional
vanilla relationship.

I realize my weekness in this regard. That is, a desire to
be dominated. I am
submissive to all women in general (I am regarded as
"chivalrous" and a "nice
guy"). But I know that if I was in a vanilla relationship I
would be
dissatisfied after a while. I make sure to tell someone I
am dating before we
get too serious. I am sad to say, most, so far, think it is

man to do their bidding? Lost a lot of girlfriends... But I
believe honesty
is important.
Honesty is indispensable.
I can tell you after years of being (or trying to be) a
'nice guy' that it's worth it.
If you hang in there, cultivate patience, gentleness with
strength, and an open mind and heart, you won't regret it.
You really won't. You may not get what you want, but you'll
get what you need, with interest.

OK, well, maybe I did overreact. I thought, "What's he

Well, I might say the same to you. If you don't think
"getting
personal" in that manner is right, then why do it? I know,
I know, to
make a point...but in another sense you can say it *proves
my point*.

Anyway, *I'm* over it, but I have a feeling the shit's

As far as femdom as a means to female supremacy. Any
domination should have as its
end result, mental and emotional domination. not phyisical.
The phyisical part
leads to the mental and emotional . This occurs when the
male orgasm has been
completely feminized. As it stands now the male erection
and the orgasm it produces
are nothing more than blatant aggression. It fills the male
mind with ideas of power
and control. This must be reversed. A means of doing this
is to reverse the conditions
under which the male is brought to orgasm. instead of man
on top, man on bottom
instead of man in control, man tied up and under control.
instead of man orgasming
when he wants to, man orgasming when female allows him to
if she allows him to at all.
eventually she does not allow him to at all and he accepts
this as the normal
reordering of things. once this is accomplished, mental and
emotional restructuring
of the male can begin and hopefully culminate in a
progressive supremicist mindset
you know what they say, when you've got them by the balls,
their hearts and their minds
will follow.

No. Or not likely, if I remember some past postings.
This is not about sex for me.
This is about power and the chance to influence someones
life.
I am driven by the power rush.
This is more in line with my experience --- friendship
with professional Dominas.
The real quest seems to have been about power.
That, and the search for _identity_, for a place in which
She can say, 'I am!' with great clarity and confidence.
(Another way of stating the power issue, or so it seems to
me.)
None of the ones I have known personally had sex (as men
understand it) with any male client. Sex was more likely
something done with a 'steady' partner (of either gender).
That said, isn't it possible, likely even, that Dominas,
like the rest of us, fall into a broad array of motives and
tempraments? After having read a lot about Laura's
experience and
a fair amount about Tasha's (plus all the posts today), it
seems that they are both reporting from the wide spectrum
of
Real Life, which is where the Domina really lives in the
checkout
line with the rest of us. I don't see so much disagreement
here
here as a wideness of perspective, jarring perhaps, but
inclusive.
I hope I didn't ruin too many peoples illusions.
Nah: confirmed, affirmed, illuminated is more like it.
Told more of the story, another side of the story.
Peace, for real. :)

Yeah, I know, but let's face it, c.s.: Mother Nature, the
Goddess,
evolution, or whatever, placed us on this earth. So they're
stuck with us,
and have to put up with us. The best we can do is become as
enlightened

of many
others on this List, are helping us do exactly that.

As far as femdom as a means to female supremacy. Any
domination should have as its
end result, mental and emotional domination. not phyisical.
The phyisical part
leads to the mental and emotional . This occurs when the
male orgasm has been
completely feminized. As it stands now the male erection
and the orgasm it produces
are nothing more than blatant aggression. It fills the male
mind with ideas of power
and control. This must be reversed. A means of doing this
is to reverse the conditions
under which the male is brought to orgasm. instead of man
on top, man on bottom
instead of man in control, man tied up and under control.
instead of man orgasming
when he wants to, man orgasming when female allows him to
if she allows him to at all.
eventually she does not allow him to at all and he accepts
this as the normal
reordering of things. once this is accomplished, mental and
emotional restructuring
of the male can begin and hopefully culminate in a
progressive supremicist mindset
you know what they say, when you've got them by the balls,
their hearts and their minds
will follow.

I think this theory is fascinating, but I differ on some
fundamental issues of
philosophy. I had expounded some of my philosophies of
Female Supremacy
in an email to the group, but carelessly lost it before I
could post the damn
thing. Thus, I will have to wait before all of that can
re-crystallize in
my mind, before I can try to re-compose it all. In brief,
it had to do with
my strong belief that there can be no REAL Female Supremacy
where the female
is physically weaker (unless a gang of females jump one
guy). By this I mean
that Female Supremacy cannot take place purely in the mind.
It must be backed
up by actual physical force. A male may convince himself he
wants his woman
to be "supreme" but when the proverbial shit hits the fan,
he will not take
orders from her if the orders she is giving are not to his
liking. Moreover,
I would dare anyone here to controvert this. The only ways
physically smaller,
weaker women can truly dominate bigger, stronger men is by
either:
1) Force of numbers -- two or more average women
overpowering one
average man
2) Actual hypnosis
3) Mind-altering drugs
4) Where the female is actually bigger and stronger, which
is very rare
In most situations, then, true "Female Supremacy" is
impossible because it relies
purely on the WISHES and DESIRES of the parties; not on
necessity. For such a
scenario to REALLY work requires the normal physical power
equation to be reversed!
As for Michael's theory of the orgasm, this is interesting
from a Behavioristic
point of view, for those who are familiar with the work of
B.F. Skinner.
However, this behavioristic training, although plausible,
would have to override
normal male physiology, which is to have an erection and
desire penetration.
This, according to Michael, is an inherently "aggressive"
act.
My answer to this is what if you kept the male orgasm the
way it is, and as an
experiment paired a small, frail male (who is nonetheless
sexually potent and
has a normal libido) with a taller, physically stronger
woman? Let us say the
woman had sufficient strength to rebuff any and all sexual
advances or acts
of physical aggression from that male. In short, she had
the power to "whip his
ass". Then what? The male would be in much the same
position -- no sexual
gratification without the woman's consent. Further, her
domination would be
backed up with raw, intimidating physical power, which
wouldn't only affect their
sex life, but EVERY aspect of their lives. It wouldn't much
matter that his
orgasms (when he had them) were based on "blatant
aggression."
This kind of scenario is unfortunately difficult to achieve
for many men who
are built much bigger than the majority of women. For some
men like myself
(I am 5'8" and 155 lbs.) it is at least possible because
there are many women
out there who can indeed "whip my ass" (although the
majority probably couldn't).
The only thing I am trying to say with all this is that I
am a realist. I cannot
envision myself in a scenario where I "have" to take orders
from a woman unless
she is bigger and stronger than me. Like I said, the only
other ways are
a "gang bang thang," being drugged, or being hypnotized (or
being an invalid!)
None of those alternatives, with the exception of the
first, sounds like any
fun!!

not
have sex, give blow jobs, whatever...regardless of the
money offered.
That
doesn't mean there are those who don't. These same pros who
won't "put

have a major problem with clients pushing and pushing for a
blow job or
sex.
These clients refuse to believe that "no means no."
Let's try to remember that there are different kind of pro

there,
just like there are different kinds of dominant women, and
women in
general.
