Would it be any easier for understanding non-feminism as an expression of a Dominant/submissive lifestyle?
Q. If you knew that about someone, would you be any more or less willing to understand their choices and attitudes about feminism? Or does it's affect have any less potency on the function of feminism, if that lifestyle possesses as much power as a religion for the individuals practicing it? The real question is how many men participate as Dominants, such that these views could impact society's progress towards greater equality? Since this lifestyle serves to the elimination of equality. Should it be of any less importance that females are Dominants too? Even if those females are more likely to be feminists, is their rebuttal of equality any less significant if all persons are to be equal? please star this question. We need as many… [cont.]

A. Most relationships have a power exchange; one person is more in control than the other. This can be due to age, intelligence, status or simply personality. In D/s, rules regarding power are more explicit. Female submissives generally don t live by the values of feminism, but I suppose it depends on the level of relationship you are in; some people are submissive only to their chosen partner and may retain a powerful position at work or among their friends. One so-called friend, on finding out about my D/s lifestyle, told me You need more self respect and You deserve better.

Why do I find dominant women so appealing?

Are phyto-estrogens harmful if someone is already estrogen-dominant?
Q. I've heard conflicting ideas on this one. I know they can be beneficial is someones lifestyle is high in xenoestrogens, as they occupy the binding sites so harmful xenoestrogens cant bind. But if someone eats organic and lives a natural lifestyle, are phytoestrogens in plants harmful? Can they cause the estrogen-dominance to become worse?
Asked by lala - Thu Jul 19 02:34:57 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No I don't think so because phyto-estrogens can bind to both the estrogen receptor and the progesterone receptor so should not cause an increase in the estrogen/progesterone ratio or in other words should not cause estrogen dominance. They are thought to have a stabilising effect where there might be an excess of estrogen for instance. But I would be careful of having an excess of soy estrogens because they are said to contain endocrine disrupting agents that can have a detrimental effect on the thyroid gland. This could especially be harmful in someone who has a low thyroid function. Other phyto-estrogens are fine in this respect as far as I am aware. Agnus castus (chaste berry) is a herb you can take to help improve the progesterone/es [cont.]

A. Voluntary simplicity and capitalism are not mutually exclusive. If consumer preferences shifted radically towards greatly simplified lifestyles, a capitalist economy could still serve that market very well. Aggregate demand would simply shift greatly to the left. Perhaps you mean "consumerism" coming to an end?

BDSM, A Dominant/submissive relationship in a house with children?
Q. I have been with a wonderful man for the past ten years. Since the very beginning we have been involved in the D/s lifestyle. I am the Dominant and make all the important decisions both romantically and finacially in the household. I have two children from a previous relationship. My oldest daughter is 19. He has two children from a previous marriage and his oldest daughter is 15. Our daughters are very close and I also have a great relationship with them, or had anyways. There is not a great age difference between my oldest and myself and we have always been more like best friends than a mother/daughter, so she has known that my bf and I have a D/s relationship for a while.

A. The ball is squarely in your husband's court. Let him know what his daughter knows and how she's acting. Ask him (or tell him) to sit down and have a private talk with her. Then back off. It will be up to hubby to explain his own psychology to his daughter, and to explain why he is happy being who he is and where he is, and with the woman he is. Don't expect miracles with her attitude. Her internal image of her father has just been shattered; she has always imagined him as strong and dominant. If she's submissive the disconnect will be worse. Only after he's had his chat, should you have your own chat with her (if needed), with husband in the room. Then you can both let her know that things are the way they are and are not going to… [cont.]

How do women view other women that are a dominatrix?
Q. The reason I ask is because the Femdom lifestyle and culture has grown dramatically over the past 30 years or so. It seems to me that it has become a lot more acceptable today (at least in western culture), for a woman to allow her demanding side to come to the forefront. Granted not all women are or want to be dominant. However it seems more and more women are embracing this lifestyle

A. My view is "to each their own"...if all parties involved are consensual, of legal age, and happy being there, it's their business and no one elses... I think a lot of the reason this is becoming more common is because for so many years women were 'behind the scenes' people, homemakers while the men brought home the money and told the women how to behave...now that women are more independent and working for their own money, a lot of them seem to have that desire to go to the extreme of dominating others (esp men) just as their fore-mothers were dominated by men and male society for so long... I think it's more of a reaction to the freedoms we women have now, than an actual desire (in many cases) to be a dominant person...

Asked by Slave P - Fri Jun 27 23:12:26 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The types are not mutually exclusive. Good behavior is rewarded with kindness, while improper behavior results in discipline. The sub should receive precisely what she earns or deserves (as the case may be) and in the proper amount. A dom who is either too kind or too tough is not a good dom. Strictness IS loving. If I don't love someone, then I don't care what they do and I have no reason to be strict with them.

Dominant or submissive? Both?
Q. Okay, so I've just recently gotten into the kinky lifestyle, like bdsm and things like that. For awhile I considered myself submissive, because being tied up, taken advantage of, and told what to do intrigues me. But I've found recently that normally I'm very dominant, and in reality I don't like it much when someone tells me what to do. I'm also a bit if a sadist, but not extremely and not seriously. I like being mean to people on purpose, but usually i'm mostly kidding. But that got me wondering. I always considered myself a masochist, but now I don't know. What do you think? Am I both, or maybe just submissive sexually? (I've never actually practiced submission, but the thought of it turns me on heavily and I would like to)

Is it possible to be both a masochist and a sadist all at the same time; yes this is possible, but to the question of whether or not you are submissive in the bedroom, but dominant any place else is actually an oxymoron, because in reality you are either one or the other; you are either dominant or submissive; you can t be both and anyone who says different are just players and fakes, they don t life a submissive/dominant lifestyle completely for real and only succumb to it in the bedroom, and if that is all you want, so be it, but it is not a complete submersion into the realm of BDSM and the dom/sub lifestyle,… [cont.]

Nothing big, but being that I don't want to get a big operation under way myself and i certainly don't want to step on the toes of existing MC's, I was wondering how I determine who is present or dominant in the area. IF nobody is in town, I figured I could do my small operation without disrespecting anyone or taking their territory.

LGBT: D/s Lifestyle Question #2?
Q. I've noticed that many Dominants take noble titles. Lord such and such, Lady whomever and in my case Baron Cimitiere. I know that part of the reason I took this name is because of my interest in and love of voodoo, but maybe there's more. It came up in conversation the other day and I was wondering what you guys thought. Why do we Dominant types take noble ranks and titles so often to distinguish ourselves? SNowbear: Because my submissive (Spooky) and I are regular posters in this forum. We respect the opinions of the people here. Had you read my previous D/s question I covered this.

A. I just read an article about this same subject, made even more complex by not only the different titles that Dominants use, but the differing names for submissives as well. It should never be assumed what someone's title is. I think it's just another way of lifting oneself above the submissive, IMHO.

Asked by Beavis and Butt-Head - Thu Feb 8 18:31:22 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The chances are slim. People become more materialistic every day. As a society, our lives completely revolve around obtaining, maintaining, and desiring material possessions and wealth. Even family life is more hectic because of the constant demands of the family members to have the newest gadget, or follow the latest trend. Parents work harder and harder to provide their children with every material request. Holidays have become nothing more than a shopping list to be filled, enjoyed for a moment, and replaced with yet another list of desires. The meaning and spirit of Christmas has been replaced by mundane philosophy, sentimentality, and the pressures of the market place.
