ORIGINAL: cloudboy quote:
I implied nothing of the sort. Actually, I'd guess it's more a case that many women have a visceral, deep-seated dislike and distaste for men who have nothing to offer but their kink and who see every woman who identifies as a domina as nothing more than a means to fulfill that kink, and that's what drives their annoyance. Your words, not mine. The broad sweeping generalization you make here is a categorical negative, and it implies selfishness on the part of CDs "who see every woman who identifies as a domina as nothing more than a means to fulfill that kink." When you make such a statement about one particular person, its not bigoted, but when you apply it to a whole categorical group, it is. Cloudboy, I think you've misunderstood her completely. She didn't say that all cross-dressers have nothing to offer but their kink, or that all men who are self-centered with a one-track-mind regarding kink are crossdressers. She just said that men who focus on kink first, or exclusively, tend to be unwanted by most dominant women. *Some* cross-dressers also fall into that category, but by no means all of them. I happen to completely agree with her statement (not your interpretation of it), and when I was looking, I was open to cross-dressers, bottoms, and cross-dressing bottoms. However, they would have needed an attitude about cross-dressing that was compatible with mine, and have needs that worked with mine. If not, nothing wrong with that, we just weren't compatible! However, if someone approached me with "I want you to _fill in the blank_ in the first e-mail, I viewed them as not only incompatible, but also self-centered, having poor judgement, being indiscriminate, etc. It gave me a poor impression of their character, and of them as a person. What kink they were asking for, and whether or not I shared it, was pretty much immaterial. Hardbodysub, I agree that I've seen several posts saying outright, or strongly implying, that bottoms aren't looking for relationships, or are selfish/self-centered, or are automatically kink-first. I've been in relatively long-term-relationships with a couple of wonderful bottoms, who weren't submissive, but were focused on our mutual pleasure and satisfaction. We did lots of vanilla things together, and they didn't necessarily have one particular kink they were focused on, they just primarily enjoyed sensation (S/M and bondage) rather than control (D/s).
