How much "molding" do men do, and is it something they consider before they collar a girl? A man who thinks he can make anything out of any girl is just thinking out of inexperience, and has another thing coming, as the saying goes. With experience, a man learns that each girl is unique, with her own potentials to realize and challenges to overcome. He might get better with time at seeing the potential in a girl, and estimating the effort on his part that will be required to realize it, but it's never an exact science, and there are sure to be suprises and setbacks along the way. In the case of a Gorean girl, there are two distinct classes of "molding" that have to occur. One is learning the inividual preferences of her master, and the other is bringing her to understand and accept her place as a Gorean slave in general. When a girl finds herself a slave in a Gorean household, she is in many ways in a foreign country, where the notions of morality, fairness, love, and romance that she grew up with no longer apply. It will be only natural for her to try to apply and argue for the standards that she knows to some extent. How successfully a girl makes the transition depends greatly on how well her master has done so himself. If he is still caught between Gorean morality and the morality of the popular culture around us, it won't be all that hard for his new slave, especially if she is strong-willed and intelligent, to convince him that he is being unjust in expecting her to accept the place of a slave. The end result is often that she ends up being a slave in name only, and in reality has assumed the role of wife or girlfriend in the household, and will expect to be treated equitably as one by popular, rather than Gorean, standards. Gorean kajirae are not cookie-cutter copies of a specific ideal. They are individual women, to be enjoyed as such. The "molding" that a new slave girl must undergo isn't about making her into someone she is not. It is about making a Gorean slave of who she is.
