ORIGINAL: DMFParadox What the hell is a 'right', anyway? Even the legal definition is so fuzzy that they're argued about, modified, and argued about some more.... UNCEASINGLY. I don't think a D/s relationship is about 'rights' per se. It's about behavior patterns and training. for example, most of the time, if my pet says something I don't like, I'll call her on it. I don't increase the pressure over time (or I try not to), I operate on a case-by-case basis and try to remain consistent. And in this sense, I too am in behavioral training. Does she not have a right to say anything I don't like? Sure, she has that right, by most definitions of the word. Just as I have that same right. But I don't have the 'right' to stand in the middle of traffic, and yet if I wanted to that word 'right' wouldn't stop me. The fact that I don't want to get my pale ass run over is what keeps me on the sidewalk. I guess the point of this ramble is that we need a better word. Or better definitions and usage for the words that we have. D i could not agree more. Do state or federal prisoners have rights? Should they? Doesn't being a convicted criminal cause one to forfeit their rights? What exactly is a "right"? i can only answer for myself in my own relationship. i have the "right" to choose who is my Master. If i maintain that "right" after i have accepted His collar, am i still a slave? This is a debate with no conclusion that will be acceptable to everyone.
