		<description>Well... after stumbling across this thread on the internet i just HAD to post.

i know nothing of the AV&#039;s and other places Y/you A/all speak of as i go to other chats.

BUT, i think Dyer is trying to impose his/her views on others.  Why can&#039;t S/someone live their life as they choose to?  Are we NOT in a free country where W/we as adults can CHOOSE what W/we do with our lives?  When someone stumbles across something that is unknown or foreign to them, it immediately becomes abnormal because it goes against THEIR way of thinking.  But what they do not understand is that the life someone chooses is not abnormal for that person.  If being a sub/slave or a Dom/me is how a person is happy and how they want to live their lives, then so be it.  Let it go - Don&#039;t try to impose your beliefs on someone.  In this lifestyle i have NEVER seen ANYONE - be it Dom/me or sub/slave - impose their views on someone and try to incorporate their lifestyle on a &quot;nilla&quot; person.

Now - As far as harrasment goes - i was NOT in this room that You all were in, but in my experiences as a submissive and being in other chats, i have found that the ones that do the attacking and harrasing are people that *stumble* upon a server or chat room and don&#039;t completely understand it.  i have never ONCE seen a Dom/me or sub/slave attack or harrass anyone or try to *whip* them into submission just for chatting.  i find that innane.

Now - as far as the *Gor* world goes - i have a Gorean Mistress - who in turn has a Gor Master - i am in effect owned by both of Them.  Master of course has all the say over both of us - But if Mistress wishes something of me i obey.  Why? because i CHOOSE to be their slave.  They did NOT force me into anything.  Now, while i agree that the most common though is there are Free women and slaves in Gor.  Some Free women are just that - Mistress&#039;s that can not and WILL not be collared.(OMG a Woman thinking for Herself? what is the world coming to? *giggles* and if Y/you can&#039;t catch the sarcasm in that then Y/you need to get a sense of humor *grins*)

Now... in this life(BDSM) there is the preconception that what we are is a cult or a bunch of abusers.  That is not the case.  The news stories you hear about - THEY are the abusers.  Everyone in the lifestyle(at least everyone that i know)goes by the code SSC.(and if Y/you don&#039;t know what SSC means, you shouldn&#039;t be in the life)

All i have left to say is let S/someone lead T/their lives as T/they choose to.  Do not try to impose beliefs and what Y/you feel is right and wrong.  That is what is so wonderful about this lifestyle - E/everyone has their own beliefs and knows what works for them.

Enough Said.

		<description>Dyer, mind your own business and get a life.

If you don&#039;t like BDSM, then stay away from it.  Others choose to live the BDSM life and they don&#039;t care about what you think.

People like you are pathetic as hell, always shoving your values and what you think is &quot;right&quot; down the throats of others.

MIND YOUR OWN #$%#ING BUSINESS

		<description>Camille, Normans books were written in the 70&#039;s, and previous. A time when Womens place in society was still being Hotly debated on THIS world. Read a novel from any genre written at that time, and it will reflect the social more&#039;s of that time, NOT necessarily the flux, and change of those More&#039;s
A book written about the corporate world, or the world of espionage in that era will show Female characters as Docile, Making Coffe, serving their Male superiors. The only Strong women depicted were the Irrationally hostile feminists. (Who usually end up falling for the hero and mend their ways) But chere,, this does NOT reflect the reality of the era, only one persons perception of it. Any Novel is a Writers Window on a part of the world, You cannot look through one window (Or even 25 in Normans case) and claim to have seen the whole world.

Now,, Taking Gor as a &quot;real&quot; place. A world Alive like our own, Isn&#039;t it reasonable to assume that NOT every aspect of the culture was explored? That SOME changes to their social structure Might be evident after 30 or 40 years? As toy has said previously, we don&#039;t run to consult &quot;The Book&quot; to confirm or deny our every action, this would deny the very foundation of the Gorean outlook of Living Your life, Being yourself to the Hilt. Yes,, Gor on earth shows Adaptations. You may not have seen a Mistress in the Gor Novels but that is not to say they don&#039;t exist, Only that the Author chose not to focus upon them in his works. I also have read the Gor novels chere, and no where did it state &quot;Women can NOT be Mistress&#039;s&quot; the simple fact that there are various laws discussed regarding a free womans treatment of her slaves, and the slaves of others PROVES that Mistress&#039;s DID indeed exist on Gor.

The unfortunate part of this is to me, the confirmation that people read, then only take away from what they read those things that support thier own preconceptions.
I do not know camille&#039; if you have a place in out lifestyle, or have spent any time visiting. If you did, One thing you WOULD find (And i say this with cheeks burning in Modesty) is, I associate with Gorean Masters and I Have their respect, and their admiration (And in some cases their fear as well). As to my toy, the Gorean community (Master And slave) recognize in my toy something I saw the day she was given to me. THIS girl is something very special, she is in EVERY way, the Model of a Kajira. She is what other Masters envy, and other slaves aspire to be.
Chere, Of course we are playing, Gor is NOT real, BUT,,Were it real,, Chere,, I most certainly would be as i am now,, ALL Mistress.

Mistress Maria.
