ORIGINAL: patina This is more of a philosophical question do the females of Earth want to be a slave as is written in the books of Gor? It is to that my question goes toward. I know in the book what it says but i would like to know what the Masters, kajirs, and Free think. I do hope I have not disrespected anyone with my question or the way i formed it. Short answer, 'no.' I have not even gotten through 2 pages of any of the books of Gor, I got a migraine from trying to read, so I stopped. I am everyone's equal, on these boards and off; when I have a partner, yes, I do defer many things to him and request that he take as much as control as we agree on, etc; yet, even then, we are still equals, we are parnters, we are lovers, we are Master/slave, yet, that does NOT make me an inadimate object. I desire to be the slave that I have the opportunity to become and to grow as such. I speak in 1st person, I have 'property' (for lack of a better word), I maintain my life and my capasity to think freely and without barriers. I have spoken with female (vanilla) friends who have read the books of Gor and they look at in a 'romantic' {carefree} light, yet, I know that if any of them tried it in r/t they would panic and things would get ugly. Note to OP, I too right erotica, bdsm, M/s mostly, I would love to do a story exchange if you would be so inclined, please email me if you are interested. I might be coming into this a bit late in the game, but I'll take a stab at this. We are not all equal. However, it's not a question of gender, as Rapture suggests. As we have reached a technological level that didn't exist even 100 - 150 years ago, an eight year old girl might still kill twenty huge brutish men with bulging muscles using a gun. The same girl could certainly not have done so with a sword, knife, or hammer. Yet, while there are certainly women with sufficiant force of character and strength of will to use such a weapon, the vast majority of men (and women) do not have such a will. Most men, when faced with a mugger with a knife, would rather hand over their wallet than risk a physical confrontation. So, we're drawing generalizations. It's my opinion that most people, male or female, can be content as submissives. Western society is heavily influenced by the service industry. Someone else cooks our food, makes our clothes, fixes our automobile, fixes our electricity, sells us a television, installs our cable, fixes our plumbing, builds our homes, etc etc etc; all activities that 200 years ago would have been either non-existant, or inconceivable for someone not in our family to perform these actions. Rather than making us dominant, we become dependent on others who 'know more' than we do, and we trust their judgement with everything from what brand of food is safest, to where to go on vacation, to what sort of gift our wives or husbands might like better. Sorry for the tangent. Very few people are actually 'equal.' We're not designed to be equals. Some people will have greater strength of will, others strength of back, others strength of heart, etc etc. The statement 'equal', rather is better expressed that we all have equal importance in the eyes of society and law. We all have equal opportunities to find fulfillment, where we may. We all have equal responsibilities to care for and provide for ourselves and our families. This should never be confused with everyone having equal ability, or an expectation of equality in authority in a relationship. Few people genuinely desire equality of authority. Most people just don't take time to discuss it. Stephan
