I think society has become afraid to discuss the primitve appeal of even extreme male dominance because they think it's some kind of slippery slope to greenlighting the abuse of women.

Greetings, nc. ~smiling~

Very true.

In the 60's and 70's, things they were a-changin'. Women stepped up and essentially took over. We burned bras, went to work, got divorces, and in the 80's and 90's we started shattering that glass ceiling. Yay us. For some reason, most men let us and helped us do it. What the hell?? How on earth did that happen ... and why?

It took me many years to realize that even though I "had it all" (power career, power marriage, power position IN the marriage, kids, THE house in THE neighborhood) I was miserable. I walked around all day like a man. I gave orders. I kicked ass and took names. I was strong. I was in charge.

I hated my life.

A few years ago I met a Man who was a Dom. I started learning to submit and then I started ~burning~ to submit. I had a fire in my belly - I ~had~ to submit, surrender. Suddenly I felt in balance. I had peace. No more anger or frustration.

In many instances, women have led men to believe that a woman's way is the right way. We, as a society (and I do not mean in the comfort of our M/s D/s dynamics) have allowed this to happen. I am not saying that women cannot effectively run a country, a state, or a household - I am saying that we, as a society, have effectively emasculated men. and of course, in a matriarchal society we are taught to believe that allowing men to again be dominant is just a Prada-step away from abuse. We (and this is generally speaking and not intended to be specific) do not respect men any more, and chastise those who do (submissives and slaves hear such chastisement much). Those in power want to keep it, after all.

Unfortunately, outside the M/s relationship, I do not see things changing any time soon.

I wish you well,
Ish
