Inyouagain, I will not presume to know what you meant to say, I will however comment on what you did say. "In his philosophy, females did NOT rule period... they were ruled. That is something that certainly appears to have been and is still not being seen. Aristotle's words are there... NO other way to interpret him as saying it's OK for a female to even be a Queen, whether she serves under a King or not... she would never "rule" anybody, let alone be a Dominant female. " Perhaps you can site your sources for this then? You authoritatively summarize his entire philosophy by one sentience where he is making generalizations. "Looking at these philosophical words literally, Aristotle defines gender roles across the board. If you believe, accept and adhere to Aristotle's philosophies, then the world as we know it today would be totally different: There would be NO Mistresses or Dommes, ONLY Masters. All females WOULD "naturally" be slaves to males, by "virtue" of gender. Financial Domination would NOT exist in real life or in cyberspace. Real men would NOT be sissy's and wear panties. Male chastity devices would NOT exist. CBT would stand for Central "Broad"cast Time. When ANY male ANYWHERE wants sex, the word NO would not exist. Females would not be allowed toys like computers, telephones, cars, and money. Prostitution would NOT be the world's oldest profession. Equal rights, voting, joint bank accounts, etc, would NOT exist for females. Commercial use of slave names would not exist (ie. Betty Crocker, Aunt Jamima, Martha Stewart, etc) NO ships, planes, or trains, etc, would bear feminine names or references of "her" or "she". There would be NO Queens anywhere, of any kind (even Queens, NY). There would be NO Madonna's, Brittney Spears', J-lo's, Pamela Anderson's, etc... ALL females would be bisexual (males would ensure that aspect!) Marge Oppenhiemer would NOT own the Reds. Bill Clinton would have gotten a 2-girl blowjob in the Rose Garden (Hillary and Monika). There would be NO female Gods... or Goddesses. The Statue of Liberty would be titless and packing male hardware. The term SEX would simply refer to a female doing her "natural" duty. PFC Lindsey English would have been on the other end of the leash in the pics. Think about it... this list would be virtually endless... on the slight chance that anyone worshipped or made reverent Aristotle's philosophies across the board, and did not just pick and choose of which suited their personal preferences, the world as we know it, would definitely NOT exist... as we do know it today. How many females have made favorable comments and observations on Aristotle's words above in this thread... and apparently totally overlooked his second paragraph? Either you love him, or you don't... and hey, I love him... great guy, and smart too! " These statements are just entirely incorrect altogether. Again, women where in fact in charge of slaves during Aristotle's time. This was common practice in Athens, Troy, Macedonia and especially Sparta. I will of course site my sources. Hesiod: Works and Days, c. 750 BCE Strabo: Geographia, [written c. 20 A.D.], circa 550 BCE Antiphon: On the Choreutes, c. 430 BCE Demosthenes: Against Timocrates. c. 350 BCE Aristotle: The Politics, On Slavery, c. 330 BCE I would expect someone who makes a decision to cross swords to do a better job of being prepared. No offense is meant, however if you are looking for a heated debate I will be happy to reciprocate *** Acknowledging mistressDread with a grin *** Keep in mind, that Aristotle's phillosophy changed over his years and his oppinions softened as well. One can not simply take a snap shot in time and determine the character and ideals of any given person.
