I was told by a female slave that a Master can not call himself a Master if he does not own a slave, but i have owned one in the past for 28 years, so what am i.
Mind if I take a stab at this one?
Let me guess. You ran across an s-type who has the chip on their shoulder about the differences on how people view this depending on which side of the kneel they happen to be on?
I'm going to tell you make has me saying that.
In a lot of M/s, some folks tend to see the two sides of the slash differently. The "M" side tends to be based on experience level. 'You did X, Y, Z in the past, meaning you are still qualified to do X, Y, Z and you will probably be able to conduct X, Y, Z tomorrow.' Yep. Even if person A was in your life and you will have different things that you will have to adjust for if person B enters your life tomorrow, you're still the person who is running your house, your dynamics, and all of that good stuff.
On the other hand, the "s" side tends to be based on current status. You might have been a slave for twenty years. (Experience level.) However, that gets seen differently due to the status of "are you free today". That current status matters more to a lot of people rather than past experience, how you "feel" about a label, or what you picked from the drop down menu. It generally comes down to who is charge of your life today.
There are some folks on the right side of the slash (meaning the s-type) who absolutely *hate* this. They want it to be seen equally, but to some people, it's just not. It's really tough to convince folks that you are a slave when you are making the majority of your own decisions and not actually under another person's authority. It can be difficult to escape the logic of that, even when we play around with words in a kink context, such as free and slave.
