OK, so I went and cut & pasted all your previous posts into a notepad so I could read them with flow. What I got was that you have a much more conservative view of the united states than I do (post #66). While I am sure that there are some cities in which I'd get run out of town by sundown... or... maybe smaller towns anyway, I sincerely doubt that I'd get much of a reaction for having Carol collared AND leashed in most major metropolitan areas and an awful lot of smaller cities. I'm pondering whether our viewpoint difference reflects different places we've lived/worked or possibly different mental outlooks. Given that I've spent very little time in the south and that's quite on purpose, it might well be geographic differences. Then again, some of your statements about how you personally perceive the collar and leash (dressed and led around like dogs) would seem to indicate a differing mental outlook. I see that you believe strongly that this is a violation of a cultural norm. And, to a degree I agree with you. But I sincerely doubt many people nowadays would see this in connection with the "subjugation of women" (post #83). Most, i suspect, would see it in terms of kink. I mean seriously, I'm about as vanilla as it comes in all manner of ways. Hell, a few years ago I wouldn't even have known that BDSM existed outside of cheap porn. And even so, a leashed woman would've been so over the top that there is no way I would've connected it to actual subjugation of women. Whatever conclusion I came to, it certainly wouldn't be that. My guess is that it would've gotten chalked up as some freaky alternative thing having something to do with sex. You apparently also see such a display as being in bad taste (post #95). Everyone, of course, gets to have their own sense of "taste", but that everyone includes me and I don't happen to share yours. I do not happen to see Carol's collar and/or leash as either kink or fetish wear. Whatever it is that you are referring to as "common sense" is apparently not common to me. I think I got the gist of your posts... all of them... just fine. I just don't happen to agree. And I'd have to think that at 46 for myself and 54 for Carol, we do not fit into the category of "young people".
