quote: ORIGINAL: dcnovice quote: ORIGINAL: lilgirl2008 I have never been a huge fan of the term "subbie", and have often wondered how the Dominants would feel if we started referring to them as "Dommies". So all you Dommies out there..speak out! Now I have a picture in my head of a kids book called Big Dommie Tommy! This gave me a chuckle and brought to mind the image of a big yellow book titled, "D/s for Dommies"

I don't mind it

That's your preference good for you, I quite frankly as a world and a community, think we have bigger fish to fry at the moment.

I'm with T1981: I was not aware that anyone considered "subbie" anything but a cutsie-cute term of endearment. Why do you consider it "rather condescending"? Is this really how a majority of submissives feel? If so then why do so many submissives use it in apparently a positive, affectionate reference to themselves or others?

That's been spelled out in several posts here. quote: Is this really how a majority of submissives feel? If so then why do so many submissives use it in apparently a positive, affectionate reference to themselves or others? There is no universal way that all submissives feel, so you'll see people who like certain things that others dislike. As has also been spelled out here, some submissives enjoy the cute familiarity between each other but do not like being referred to as such by strangers. There are all sorts of affectionate nicknames my friends & I call each other, but were a stranger come around calling us that, we'd likely raise an eyebrow.

Subbie takes something that's very important to me - my submission to a Domme, and makes it sound trivial. I would rather it not be used - but then again, the submission is what it's all about. So, as a preference, I would rather it not be used towards me. However, we don't always get a choice in how we're referred to.

quote: ORIGINAL: RealSub58 Don't ya think we need to stop using the word subbies. It is rather ______________ you fill in the blank, butit is rather condescending to me ~~~ to even see it used on anyone. It's a word. I use it from time to time when I don't feel like being serious about everything. It doesn't particularly strike me as condescending. I like having silly terms because I'm a silly, happy, bubbly person.

Doesn't bother me, though I don't use it.

Offence is in the eye of the beholder.
