with respects...
I lived within a Gorean family for many years.
I have read the comments from females here, none that I noted is stating themselves as freewomen....they tend to speak freely about the Way with their own opinions....
is there a different way within Gorean that maybe I lacked training in?
The only Freewoman that I know IS a Freewoman and has even stated so by her own accord besides defended her position as such, is Jahna. How do I know so? Because she has stated herself to be so, and are accepted as such within the community because she has proved and earned that place over a long time period.
Many of the socalled "freewomen" we can point out either here on this board or at other places aren't often what they claim to be, they're most often flip-flop-flavour of the week "slaves" ( read BDSM subbies ) or BDSM Dommes playing Goreans for sexual kicks. This is very much the same trail you can follow on the "I R Gorean Master, bow to me"-wave that hits from time to time, many claim what they're not, a few do in time turn out to be what they say they are. Very few indeed.
The Freewomen that I talk with on a regular basis and knows of, are Freewomen, as they have been released by what ever reason their former owners had, to take their places in that home as Free Companions and live together as such. He might have seen her to be of more potential to him as such, could be that he viewed it as being wrong to have a slave to carry his children, and so on, the reasons are many, and his alone and for her to follow. Some have on their own, after extensive personal though and pondering found out that that's is where they fitted in in the Gorean community and philosophy, and have never gone through the slave to free transgression.
Now to continue, with the amount of the socalled Freewomen outthere I know and/or have talked with through the years, and there have been a lot. Only 6-8 ended within what fits the Gorean understanding of takeing and holding that position, the rest have shown time and time again to be the types I mentioned before, BDSM Dommes and flip-flop "slaves". These very few Gorean women have earned their places over time and through personal interaction helped the Gorean community and understanding in bother their field but too as a whole to move further ahead and grow stronger.
A Freewoman or female for that reason, only have as much power as the men around her allows her to have and hold. This is even more clear when you look at this in a Gorean understanding and setting. We, the men that follows this philosophy in our lifes, don't let a female, whether she is Free, slave or for that matter unowned, step out of their place. She's a female first and formost, and will be held as such in all areas, which also means that if the reasons are called for it, will include her to serve the men.
If you're still indoubt about some of the insights and understanding of the Freewoman, then go read the thread about this special subject, and read their thoughts of the matter and position. Some of the posts found there are very enlightning and interesting to read, and might help you in your "training".
Be well
