Why is some slut with a whip more worthy of adoration than
your
ever- lovin' wife?
Laura, I have read your posts on other NG's and was
suprised at this
statement from you. I am not a slut.
I never said you were. I never said Pros were. A slut is a
slut, though
.
There *are* sluts with whips in existance, y'know.
point taken about it not being personal or about
Professionals. :-)
But....I still have a teeny problem with a common concept
that is being
relayed.
firstly, an example:
(A fictional character), Joe Sloven has a weight problem.
Joe is 160 lbs overweight. He has signs of diabetes.
Godiva Choclate
Joe's problem is compulsive overeating of choclate.
He purchases and eats a LOT of Godiva choclate.
Who's fault is Joe's weight problem ??
Who should be blamed ??
Is Godiva a bad company because they continue to advertise
and sell
something that Joe abuses ??
What happens if Joe's weight problem begins to affect his
health
significantly??
The rational person will 99% of the time say, what a stupid
question And then say of course it is Joe's fault.
Well, Joe is a consumer of something that affects a
relationship.
His relationship with his health.
So, ie, a man goes outside his marriage and purchases or
just recives
something that is not good for his relationship.
Who's fault is it ??
Godiva choclate is not the correct answer.
I have expressed my feelings on this subject on other
threads, but here
we go
again: I feel that a marriage is an agreement between a
wife and husband
.
Whatever they agree to is fine with me. If that means
cultivating
outside
relationships, c0ol.
OK< agreed. I am just in disagreement about calling the
woman he goes
outside
with, a slut. I agree with comming clean with the wife. I
think that a
truly submissive man, or one who believes in Fem Supremecy
will respect
*all* women enough, including the wife, to be honest. This
would prove his
feelings in Fem-suprem are sincere.
I bet I am just repeating what you said, with a twist on
who is to blame.
I bet we are in more agreement then most think. :-)

weaker women can truly dominate bigger, stronger men is by
either:
1) Force of numbers -- two or more average women
overpowering one
average man
2) Actual hypnosis
3) Mind-altering drugs
4) Where the female is actually bigger and stronger, which
is very rare
In most situations, then, true "Female Supremacy" is
impossible because it
relies
purely on the WISHES and DESIRES of the parties; not on
necessity. For such a
scenario to REALLY work requires the normal physical power
equation to be
reversed!
---------------------------
While I certainly agree that if Women were larger than men
it would be a lot
easier for them to assert their will, I suspect there are
other mechanisms
that could work pretty effectively too. Some examples
follow:
(1) Economic coersion: She controls the purse, and he knows
that his
economic well being depends on Her good will.
Consider: Your Lady boss tells you in no uncertain terms
what She expects
and that your (good) job is on the line. She weighs 101
lbs, you weigh 195.
What do you do?
(2) Political coersion: She calls upon the legally
constituted enforcement
agency to enforce Her will.
Consider: The ability of the members of the ruling class to
impose their
will on others regardless of size is legend.
(3) Conditioning: In accordance with well established
principles of
conditioning he has learned to respond to Her in a
compliant manner.
Consider the analogous situation of the lion trainer in a
case with six or
seven lions. He would not even represent a minor challenge
to them
physically, but because of their training he is able to
push them around.
The very same principles can be applied to men.

I realize my weekness in this regard. That is, a desire to
be dominated. I am
submissive to all women in general (I am regarded as
"chivalrous" and a "nice
guy"). But I know that if I was in a vanilla relationship I
would be
dissatisfied after a while. I make sure to tell someone I
am dating before we
get too serious. I am sad to say, most, so far, think it is
sick, depraved,
perverted, etc. I have been puzzled by this. They don't
like the idea of a
man to do their bidding? Lost a lot of girlfriends... But I
believe honesty
is important.
Because this is a Femsupremacy forum, and not a femdom
forum, I'm
going to try to address this from a Femsuprem perspective.
A lot of women _don't_ like the idea of having a man to do
their
bidding. Some can't get past the fact that their culture
tells them
it should be the other way around. Some are simply anal
retentive and
feel that no one can clean/cook/whatever as well as they
can, and so
don't want someone else trying to do it for them. Some are
simply not
naturally dominant, and not inclined to have to deal with
being in
charge of someone else. Etc.
What's my point? There are many kinds of women out there.
Not all of
them are going to want to be in charge of a relationship.
Among
those, there are some who even if they could overcome the
cultural
"men should be on top" brainwashing STILL wouldn't want to
be in
charge. It's their choice, and their right to make that
choice.
It's good to be honest. It's good that you are sure to tell
them
fairly up front. It saves you both some pain in the end.
It's one
thing to get into a vanilla relationship thinking it's all
you want
and need, and finding out differently later (a horrifying
thing,
though :/). Sabotaging yourself in the beginning by getting
into a
serious vanilla relationship with someone who is not
accepting of your
non-vanilla needs _and_ not willing to allow you an outside
owner/partner seems rather self-defeating to me.
How to make friends who are into Femsupremacy (I discuss
making
friends instead of finding mates because the best way to
find a mate
is to not desperately seek one, but instead to make friends
with
similar interests)? Participate in forums, both online and
real
life, where Femsupremacists share their views. You won't
find a
bounty of places that are only Femsupremacists. You can
also try
overlapping forums, such as Feminist, Female Domination,
etc., where
Femsupremacists may spend their time. Getting a little more
generic,
there are women's groups that accept aid from men, and
there are
general BDSM groups.
Also, if you show respect to women in everything you do,
you may find
Femsupremacists in places you didn't expect, like a cycling
club or a
chess club.
The key is patience and attentiveness. Be attentive to your
own
actions. If you consistantly show that you are respectful
of women, a
woman who desires that quality may perhaps show an interest
in you.
Dee-Ann
Yes, I have tried this. After failing with the regular
romance groups, I have
tried the BDSM ad groups. That has been a dissapointment
also. I am very
reluctant to attend my local support group. I am very
discouraged.
The BDSM ad groups are only as helpful as those who read
them, and the
kind of ad you posted. The majority of personal ads I've
seen on the
various BDSM groups are ones I'd never answer, because they
give
virtually no information about who the person is, what they
expect,
and what a respondant can expect from them. I'm not making
any
judgement calls on what kind of ad you may have posted, as
I didn't
see it. Also, note that a lot of folks either can't or
don't read the
BDSM ad groups.
There's IRC also as a way of making friends. The various
IRC networks
all have a #femdom channel. For more on IRC and #femdom
check out
http://www.renaissoft.com/~dee/femdom/ Please don't post
here asking
to get onto IRC. The web page listed includes links to
various help
resources. If you're going to try this route, READ the
advice
documents on the page. Be courteous on the channel, join in
conversations, and don't sit there asking if anyone will
play with
you. The #femdom channel is much more of a discussion
channel than a
play channel, and isn't a dating service. However, making
friends and
talking to folks may get a woman interested in you. There
are
Femsuprem women who hang out there as well. Don't ask me
who they
are, that's for you to find out through talking to people.
I'm not
aiming all of this at you, Lonely2001...this is for
everyone who might
try out the channel. One of my standard lectures. :)
As far as local groups go, you'll never know unless you
try. And
remember, as with any forum whether real life or on the
net, if you go
once and feel everyone's a jerk you should still go again.
It may not
have been the usual crowd, or maybe everyone was having a
horrible
day.

In Usenet, spend some time reading and contributing to
newsgroups like alt.fan.kali.astarte.inanna,
alt.magick.tantra,
alt.religion.wicca, alt.pagan, etc but _not_ with a view to
'picking up' anyone. Do it to learn, and to ask intelligent
questions. Try learning more in groups with soc.* prefixes
where serious (and often moderated) discussion takes place.
Be there, be positive and polite, contribute, and enjoy
with no
ulterior expectations. Think well beyond your own needs and
enjoy the give and take of life where you find it.
Finding 'Mts. Right' is almost always a surprise, not the
result
of a calculated stalk, or so I've been advised. :P
Also, if you show respect to women in everything you do,
you may find
Femsupremacists in places you didn't expect, like a cycling
club or a
chess club.
Affiliating with almost any 'progressive' organziation in
the same
spirit as above is both worthwhile and affords you some
good
company: civil rights and environmental groups, volunteer
groups,
AIDS advocacy, any groups promoting self-sufficiency
(except
militias ;[) or alternative lifestyles (this is anything
from AA
to the SCA), religious groups / congregagtions with a
reputation
for liberal or radical theology (UU, Wiccans, the SMC [ask
Laura]
to name a few [but not my own]), abortion-rights and child
care
advocacy, the local BDSM/TG/leather support groups,
literacy and
immigration volunteers, anything in fact which might
attract
people of character.
The key is patience and attentiveness. Be attentive to your
own
actions. If you consistantly show that you are respectful
of women, a
woman who desires that quality may perhaps show an interest
in you.
Her interests, her priorities, her move, remember.

Mr. zbobz makes some VERY good points. However, I would
rebut some of what you
said, Bob (may I call you that?) by pointing out that size
and physical
strength are the only IMMUTABLE characteristics people have
(along with
intelligence -- these are inherent characteristics of the
person). Oh yes,
it is true that a person may grow weak with old age; and a
person's intellect
may similarly dim with age (look at Bob Dole!)
However, unlike money and political power (force of arms,
etc.) these qualities
are basically inseperable from the person. That is, if a
big, strong person
is dropped on a desert island with a smaller, weaker
person, guess who will
have first dibs on food, etc.? Unless the smaller, weaker
person is gifted
with a brilliant, resourceful mind, the bigger person will
dominate. (The pair
might even come to the conclusion that the one who is
clearly stronger or more
intelligent SHOULD give the orders.)
Mao said "Political power grows out of the barrel of a
gun." When you speak of
using the duly constituted organs of law enforcement for
coercion (as you
did in point 2 above), the underlying implication was that
the woman (or whomever)
had more clout over these institutions, and thus was able
to leverage them to
coerce the male to do her bidding. Well, where praytell did
she acquire that
clout FROM? Back in the day, women had no power whatsoever
in the legal
system. They also lacked the vote, etc., etc. Needless to
say they had no
power in organized religion (which is capable of a form of
coercion); also,
no power in academia (women weren't even allowed to get a
higher education).
Etc., etc. Well, my question is why was all this true?
Maybe it all ultimately
led back to the fact that women, in very primitive
societies, had very little
power simply because they were "the weaker sex." From that
simple biological
fact flowed a myriad of oppressive rules and regulations,
obstructions and
roadblocks, which kept women in "their place" for literally
thousands of years!
So, if you are a reductionist (as I am), you will realize
that political power
grows out of the barrel of a gun; guns are coercive
instruments which are built
by the ruling class (in our society, males) to enforce
their rules and wishes;
males are in the position to build guns because their
biology (i.e., TESTOSTERONE)
impels them to do it; their hormonal biology also happens
to go hand in hand
with their superior physical size, strength, etc. which
makes it easy to coerce
females, either by actual force, express threats, or simply
the implication that
force will be used. Females simply do not build guns, or
missiles; they do not
start wars (except for Margaret Thatcher and she was a
staunch conservative --
she bought into the 'male' philosophy of power lock, stock,
and barrel, unlike
the vast majority of females.)
Thus, MALE supremacy is the norm. Female supremacy, given
the biological
facts, can only be play-acting (although it may be a lot of
fun!!!)

This is certainly true, and I have applied this in my life.
Women can

Exactly. I endorse everything Dee-Ann says here.
Femsupremacy: the femdom world has some overlapping
population, as does
the feminist, but femsupremacy is distinctive. In femdom,
the emphasis
can still be on the male, but in femsupremacy the woman is
at the
center.

NO! I am passionate about this. In a femsupremacy world,

be used and exploited, but cherished. You *should* have a

just that women need men to respect them.
I hate to see the way sub guys are misused by some women.

Antonio,
By the reasoning you espouse lions and tigers would be the
supreme
rulers of the earth since physically they could in the
final analysis always
prevail over puny Women and men. Organized action and
leverage via the
various political and economic mechanisms of society
generally determine the
balance of power in societies. If we're not talking about a
society, but
random unorganized acts by individuals then I'm perfectly
willing to concede
that the average man can bash the average Woman, but
frankly I don't
particularly care since I don't expect to ever live in that
world (I could
of course be wrong about that). In our world (most of the
time, anyway) we
live according to rules set via the leverage of individuals
and groups who
are powerful independently of their physical size or
strength. (In fact I
hazard to say those who survive via their physical strength
generally find
themselves at the bottom of the power pyramid). It is the
nature of humans
to create mechanisms that give them power not naturally in
their possession;
i.e., automobiles, airplanes, bombs ... . Some of these
mechanisms are
social in nature and serve to give particular individuals
and groups power
over others. (We probably have no real disagreement up to
this point).
What mechanisms do Women create to give them this power,
and what
resources of their own do they use to build it? At this
point all is
speculation and supposition, but my personal belief is that
access to birth
control is the watershed event; that is what is new and
different and
potentially changes the balance of power. Women have
actually done pretty
well, considering, upto now inspite of their dependence on
males after child
birth. With the ability to make their own decisions about
child birth, the
balance can only swing in their direction. Then who knows
what they can do?
I don't, neither does anyone else. My impression is that
the pendulum is
already swinging and the furor over right to life has far
more to do with
control that it does any concern with life itself. (I hope
this last
comment doesn't bring a plague of fundamentists out of the
wood work but the
saying of it seems inevitable).
Whether Women will in fact become powerful is an empirical
question not
an a priori one, but I wouldn't bet against them myself.
And personally I'm
on their side.

None of the ones I have known personally had sex (as men
understand it) with any male client. Sex was more likely
something done with a 'steady' partner (of either gender).
OK, but how do you define "sex"?
*I* define "sex" as sexual intercourse. (penetration)
*I* define a sexual act as anything that involves
intimate/genital contact
and/or exchange of body fluids.
There are in fact huge numbers of Pro Doms who make it
their business to
sexually gratify their customers in sessions, usually by
masturbating the
guy
while he's in bondage, using vibrators, dildos, etc. or by
ordering/allowing
him to masturbate himself while kneeling or grovelling, and
wearing his
fetish
stuff. Isn't this "sex"?
True. No doubt. Huge numbers of them.
But self masturbation while kneeling or groveling is not
having sex with the
Mistress. Is it "sex" if a guy masturbates by himself in
the bathroom
while reading magazines ?? Nope. Not in *my* book.

Am I the only professional on the list?
No. Or not likely, if I remember some past postings.
Well I hope some of them are still around, it is a good
forum.
This is not about sex for me.
This is about power and the chance to influence someones
life.
I am driven by the power rush.
This is more in line with my experience --- friendship
with professional Dominas.
The real quest seems to have been about power.
I truly believe that the drive is different for females
then males.
I said before, Male Doms are usually driven by sex urge and
females driven
by power.
It is appearant in corporate structure sometimes as well.
Successful men enjoy the toys now available to them through
success,that
they
think makes them sexier. (cars, boats, gun collections,
macho stuff like
that)
Where women are usually driven to success by a power
incentive which is
usually the power of being independant. If you sit with
successful women,
they will often tell you they are happy to have achieved,
for the most part
because they now don't *need* a man to take care of them.
Whoever started women thinking that they ever needed a man
to *take care of
them*
did us an injustice and prevented and thawarted femminism
from the inside of
women.
What I mean is that since most women actually strive for
success to become
independant from men, they are fighting an internal belief
that dependance
is the *normal* and average way to be.
That, and the search for _identity_, for a place in which
She can say, 'I am!' with great clarity and confidence.
(Another way of stating the power issue, or so it seems to
me.)
I always knew *I am*. I knew from very young. Developing it
so that I
wasn't an
obnoxious egoist was a big task. I love being female. I
love being able to
stir a man to
an uncomfortable state with a mild gesture. I love
erotisism. Yet, I am
not all that interested in sexual encounters.
If you asked my husband how often we have sex, he would
tell you "not nearly
enough for his likes"
enough play, and he will answer "yes."
hhhmmm, sounds like a condradiction. But it isn't.
He has adjusted to my sexual drive and has free standing
permission to
masturbate
whenever he has the urge or desire. His sex drive is much
higher then mine
(though I am 34 and he is 46)
None of the ones I have known personally had sex (as men
understand it) with any male client. Sex was more likely
something done with a 'steady' partner (of either gender).
Right. Same here.
That said, isn't it possible, likely even, that Dominas,
like the rest of us, fall into a broad array of motives and
tempraments?
Yes !! oh-my-gosh
I didn't discount that there are plenty of Professionals
that will have sex
or do many sexual acts with the clients. I only didn't like
being lumped
as a *group* of "leather teddy wearing sluts" I don't even
think Laura
meant to do this but it sounded that way in the post. Laura
has read posts
by me for probably at least a year or two and she must know
I am not like
that.
Besides, my opnion has never been that because a man goes
outside his
marriage, that the *woman* he spends time with or cheats
with, is a slut. I
feel the man may be doing wrong, and the woman is wrong as
well by allowing
it, but give me a break on the blaming women for the act.
If you are
witness to a murder, and did nothing to prevent it, you are
not a murderer.
It isn't a good thing that you didn't try to stop it, and
maybe you would be
a hero if you did, but how many real heros do you know ?
After having read a lot about Laura's experience and
a fair amount about Tasha's (plus all the posts today), it
seems that they are both reporting from the wide spectrum
of
Real Life, which is where the Domina really lives in the
checkout
line with the rest of us. I don't see so much disagreement
here
here as a wideness of perspective, jarring perhaps, but
inclusive.
Well actually, the hubby does the supermarket deal, so I
wouldn't be seen
too often at a checkout line
I hope I didn't ruin too many peoples illusions.
Nah: confirmed, affirmed, illuminated is more like it.
Told more of the story, another side of the story.
I am always happy to do that :-)
Peace, for real. :)
c.s.
It comes in nice smooth doses you know....the for real
stuff.
Tasha
I'm not going to comment on this bit by bit, but I just
want to say, I am
not an enemy of Laura. On the conrary, I highly respect
her, her postings,
and her opnions.
This dosen't mean I agree with all of them as I don't agree
with many things
or people, a good deal of the time. This by no means makes
any of her
comments or feelings less valid because I don't agree. This
is obviously
the conclusion Laura has reached in her experience and
evaluation and I have
reached other conclusions and opnions.
They might be different, but they are all valid.
Not to worry...I am not mad. :-) I don't think Laura is
attacking *me* I
have explained my position and how I practice. It's the
truth, the whole
truth and nothing but. As long as I am free to do that, I
am happy :-)

Peter wrote:
When I first saw this, I was greatly offended. But then -
after reading
previous postings from you - I chuckled and thought it was
another example
of
your sense of humor.
But then I became offended again.
After seeing the amount of commentary generated by my first
posting, I
believe
what I said was legitimate. You may not agree with me, but
you don't have
to
get personal. How would you like it if I referred to you as
"another cunt
who
passes on the blame because the entire world doesn't agree
with everything
you
say."
Which brings me to another point. How much respect should a
woman give to
men
when in a dominant-submissive relationship ... or a forum
such as this?
Aren't we allowed to express our feelings? Aren't we
allowed to have
opinions?
What is the situation with your husband, Ms Goodwin? Do you
dismiss him as
a
troublemaking prick any time anything he says leads to a
situation in
which you
are uncomfortable?
I once was in a dialogue with a man who was in a submissive
relationship.
I
asked him about what would happen if he disagreed with his
partner on a
subject. He said that if his partner asked him to get
branded, he would
argue,
protest and fight ... and then he would get branded. But at
least he was
given
an opportunity to comment.
I don't think you're a cunt, Ms Goodwin, but isn't it
better to lead by
example?
And, for what it is worth, I have known two professional
dommes, such as
Tasha
Star.
Both of them did their job without any sex. And both of
them were looking
for
lifelong submissive partners who would be (obviously)
subservient to them
and
provide them with exactly what THEY needed in a traditional
vanilla
relationship.

All I ask is that you refrain from grouping all Pro's in
that stereotype.
=20
You have to recognize something. The job of a Professional
Domina,
is often role playing, acting of sorts. This is for the
person who
requests
a non S&M scene. As a professional, my realm is more
comphrehensive then
just
whipping clients into submission and sending them on their
way...this
isn't
how I work.=20
=20
I am frequently needed to be a supportive role to someone
who cross=
dresses
and
does not have S&M desires. Not a *forced* feminization,
but a simple
acceptance of the fact that they enjoy CD'ing.
I am trained in counseling and use it often, sometimes
insidiously to
assist
those who feel abnormal in their desires and seek approval
and acceptance.
In
*these* cases, there would not be pain, but these are not
classified as a
S&M
session. =20

None of the ones I have known personally had sex (as men
understand it) with any male client. Sex was more likely
something done with a 'steady' partner (of either gender).
OK, but how do you define "sex"?
There are in fact huge numbers of Pro Doms who make it
their business
to sexually gratify their customers in sessions, usually by
masturbating the guy while he's in bondage, using
vibrators, dildos,
etc. or by ordering/allowing him to masturbate himself
while kneeling
or grovelling, and wearing his fetish stuff. Isn't this
"sex"?

As far as femdom as a means to female supremacy. Any
domination should
have as its end result, mental and emotional domination.
not
phyisical. The phyisical part leads to the mental and
emotional . This
occurs when the male orgasm has been completely feminized.
Well, sure, that's one method... :)
As it stands now the male erection and the orgasm it
produces
are nothing more than blatant aggression. It fills the male
mind with
ideas of power and control. This must be reversed. A means
of doing
this is to reverse the conditions under which the male is
brought to
orgasm. instead of man on top, man on bottom instead of man
in
control, man tied up and under control. instead of man
orgasming when
he wants to, man orgasming when female allows him to if she
allows him
to at all.
Well, I agree with this, natch ;) My slaves aren't allowed
to orgasm
except *as* and *when* I decree, usually *after* I've had
mine. :) We
have a saying in my house: "Ladies first!". :)
you know what they say, when you've got them by the balls,

True, or in the case of female slaves, "by the ovaries". ;)

Subject: RE: No Sex Professionals
Message-Id:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
I was very fortunate to have a very intense two year love
affair with a
Professional Dominatrix.
I loved the fact she was a "Professional Dominatrix", I
found it incredibly
sexy.
She resented me feeling that way, she wanted me to be
jealous of her other
slaves. She was not assured I loved her for what she WAS
rather than for
what she DID.
Now there in lies the root cause of a lot of the problems
in establishing a
s/m/fetish love life! Take note guys!
I was not jealous of her (other) slaves because I trusted
her. I knew that
there was "no sex". I understood that there was an intimacy
that we had
together that was special. There were certain physical
activities between
us that were for us alone to share. There were no off limit
activities
between us. We were lovers in every sense of the word and
we were also
Mistress and slave.
However the notion of no sex is a tenuous one to grasp. I
knew the sexual
energy in her dungeon was incredibly immense. I knew that
she did get
aroused in the dungeon. I knew that her slaves were
dribbling with desire
for her. There was intense sexual activity going on in
there but of a
different quality and quantity then that reserved for us.
I could never understand the strange antipathy Mistress had
to her
business. At times she seemed to despise herself for doing
it. She would
get so angry with me because of the way I viewed it. She
knew that I
thought of it in a very positive way (like a social
service). It would
enrage her when she could see that I thought her work sexy,
I would have
loved to watch her at work or talk with her about what she
did that day,
but even me thinking about it would throw her into a black
mood. So I never
even mentioned this to her. I found the safest way to
conduct our relations
was not to refer to her work at all.
She was one of the most passionately jealous women I have
ever known.
Jealous of my excitement and pleasure arising from her role
as a Mistress
with others. Jealous of my (innocent) gaze towards other
Mistress's/women
at S/m/fetish clubs and parties (or anywhere come to think
of it). Jealous
of my childish enthusiasm and naive delight in the s/m
scene (still intact
after 20+ years of exploration).
I am ashamed to admit I had little sympathy for her
psychological turmoil
arising from her inner conflicts regarding her occupation.
To me she was
(and is) an incredibly wonderful person who could turn her
hand to any
occupation she chose. I would say to her, "If it bothers
you do something
else".
Us men can be pigs sometimes without meaning it.
This two year experience has left me very confused. I have
thought long and
hard about it for the last 12 months since we parted. I
still see her as a
friend (only apart from a couple of recent occasions when
we "lapsed" into
a scene together and this has left me even more confused).
It was a the type of relationship I have dreamed about all
my life. I tried
so hard to make it work and on those occasions when it did
it was like
heaven on earth. Needless to say at other times it was like
hell.
My confidence in my ability to make the kind of
relationship I need has
received a devastating blow.
I think the Goddess sent me this opportunity and I blew it.
I wonder if she
will give me another chance?

Subject: Some Personal Observations

Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Friends,
The OHSU computer system is having fits, so please forgive
me if
this post is not exactly relevant or up-to-date. Many of
the recent
posts have dealt with FemDom rather than FemSupremacy
issues, and I
thought I'd add one person's perspective to this thread.
Please keep in
mind that I am very new to the "scene" and have dealt with
it in only one
area. Also, some of my files were wiped out so I will not
attempt to
cite exact quotes and may even misidentify authors.
Since I am a "newbie" with the local bdsm community, I feel
very
emphatic with those folks who are having trouble fitting
in. As has been
said often in this list it takes time, especially if you
are a male
submissive. Female dominants have the "pick of the litter",
so expect to
have a long wait. Still, if these feelings are so important
to you, the
time you spend will be worth it. Meanwhile, what can you do
to make
things happen?
For starters, show up! (thank you Laura and c.s). One
person
related a bad experience with the local bdsm group, and
maybe he does
indeed live in a place full of jerks. But more than likely
his inherent
shyness, coupled with an initial meeting with some
insensitive people,
turned him off. Get used to it, bucko, you're gonna get
shot down
frequently. Keep trying, and be honest; state what you
desire and what
you are willing to give. Here in Portland it seemed like
people were
lining up to give me counseling, advice, and comfort; I
soon understood
what the terms "bdsm community" and "leatherfolk" meant. If
you're
sincere, people will help you out even if they don't have a
personal
interest in you.
Once you've got your feet on the ground, show some flash!
Contribute to the Community in any way you can. Remember
Laura's posts
on her organizational efforts? Sure, very few of us have
the ability
to do that much, but you have to start somewhere. Volunteer
to help
set up parties, work on your local group's newsletter, plan
and
organize events, or whatever. People will notice, and then
they may
start thinking of you in other contexts.........;-
As for the ProDomme issue, I have dealt with only one. Even
though she knew that I was in a relationship and had "no
commercial
potential" (thank you, F. Zappa), she went out of her way
to help me
out and cheer me up. I don't know if she has sex with her
clients or
not, but if she is in any way representative of the Pros in
general
they are a very good group.
Peace,
Barry

While Female supremacy in the largest social sense seems a
distant vision
there are some steps one can take immediately, that are
entirely under
personal control, to help move in that direction.
(1) Support Female political power
a-vote Female: unless there is clear reason not to (and
usually things
just aren't that clear) vote for Female candidates over
male candidates,
vote for issues that favor and aid Women, and vote against
issues that don't
serve Women's interests.
b-contribute financially to Female candidates (e.g.,
Emily's List, The
Feminist Majority, etc.)
c-If you're in a relationship with a dominant Woman ask for
and accept
Her guidance in marking your ballot.
(2) Support Female causes
a-Women's health (e.g.,National Breast Cancer Coalition)
b-Women appreciation activities (e.g.,Women in the Arts,
The Women's
Memorial [veterans])
c-Women's development (e.g., The National Council for
Research on Women)
(3) Seek out and use Woman provided services and businesses
a-personal physician (you may be surprised at how much you
like it)
b-buying a car or home: buy it from a Woman; your
commission might as
well go to help raise the incomes of Women.
c-insurance broker, stock broker (ditto)
d-etc.
(4) Make yourself available to help the Women you work with
a-Your boss: go the extra mile to be of service to Her and
help Her
succeed and move up.
b-Colleages: be respectful, and helpful; volunteer to take
on some of
Her work load if you can; praise Her to the boss if you
have a chance; ask
Her advice if you get stuck (you may be surprised at how
wise She is); it's
good to keep in mind you might be working for Her someday,
too.
c-Suborinates: treat Her with the respect you afford an
equal; nurture
and work with Her to move up; offer Her experiences and
opportunities that
allow Her to develop Her career.
(5) Help the Women you work or live with learn their
dominant role
a-Act deferrential (that's like submissive, but not so
obvious)
1-listen attentively, and don't interrup Her when She talks
2-if in doubt ask Her opinion
3-if She expresses a desire, do it. Whether it's a hint or
a flat
out demand; the more you do what She says the more She will
say what She
wants you to do. The longer and the more She does it the
more She'll
develop the expectation that you should do what She says.
Don't rush Her;
this kind of learning takes awhile.
b-take initiative in making Her life better and easier.
Start with
small things and work up to the big things (that way it
doesn't seem so
masochistic, and will be less likely to put Her off on that
account. Ask
Her if you can bring Her coffee or a cold drink, or go to
the store for
something She likes or wants, or wash the dishes or the
clothes or clear the
floor, etc. Work up; if you're consistent She'll like it
(just human
nature) and pretty soon you'll be shouldering much of Her
work and She'll be
expecting it.
c-Help Her resolve Her conflict between guilt and
selfishness in Her
favor. If you can tell She really wants something but feels
guilty because
it would deprive you, don't let Her agonize over it or
defer to you; take
it out of Her hands and refuse it; insist that She have it.
If it's a task
She doesn't want to do, just start doing it for Her; don't
wait for Her to
have to decide.
Once you remove guilt from the issue by seizing the
initiative you'll
probably be pleasantly surprised at how pleased She is with
indulging
Herself at your expense. If applied consistently it will
likely become
easier and easer for Her put guilt aside and have things
Her way. Again
start small and work your way up slowly; if you rush ahead
too fast She'll
perceive the nature of the change and fall back. Let Her
grow thoroughly
accustomed to each level of service before you move on to
the next.
Actually there is an incredible amount one can just do if
sufficiently
motivated and really serious about it. The items above are
things I
actually do as opportunities present themselves in real
life, and I find
really quite satisfying in and of themselves. When done
properly these
things can be done with vanilla as well as dominantly
disposed Women. Its
quite exciting I might add dealing Women in non intimate
situations when you
see in the glint of their eyes a suddent realization of
what you're doing
(of course you should never do this stuff in circumstances
that would make
Her feel threatened or awkard.)
Finally, as a post scrip, as you do this stuff not only are
Women empowered
but you feel increasingly deferential and committed to
their empowerment.
I'm afraid I wandered a bit, but anyway I'm done... hope at
least someome
finds something of interest here.

Friends,
I felt that zbobz's post was a very positive contribution
to the
oft-discussed question of how we can each take individual
steps to reach
the goal of Female Supremacy.
The only part that saddened me (and this does not make it
any
less true) was the fact that men must take the initiative
to reveal to some
women the role that should be theirs by right. Our society
has been
so effective in relegating women to second-class status
that many have
come to accept that position. Rather than merely being
angry about this
injustice, zbobz is attempting to rectify it.
It takes a special kind of courage to assume the initiative
in
order to surrender it, and it requires honor and integrity
to avoid being
seduced by the power you assume. My regards to zbobz for
displaying all
three of these qualities.
Peace,
Barry

Here's the original post:
The following is from New York University Press. A
scholarly book on Female Supremacy. i thought the list
would
find the review interesting. The book will not be available
till fall, i believe...
***New York University Press, Summer-Fall 1995.***
"The Castration of Oedipus: Psychoanalysis, Postmodernism,
and Feminism" by: J.C. Smith and Carla Ferstman
The intellectual movements of psychoanalysis,
postmodernism,
and feminism have redefined the ways in which we think
about
human experience. Each, in its own way, has challenged
deeply-held societal notions about the ways in which humans
interact and the ways in which power is negotiated across
gender boundaries.
... In this landmark book, J.C. Smith and Carla Ferstman
combine these disparate traditions to create a provocative,
unified, and tightly woven perspective that transcends the
misogyny implicit in much of Freudian psychoanalytic
theory.
The dialectic of domination and submission in the context
of
gender-identified people is central to Smith and Ferstman's
argument. Men and women, they insist, must avoid the
temptation to fetishize equality and recognize the roles of
domination and submission in the human psyche, or, in
Nietzsche's terms, "the Will to Power."
With this recognition they can begin to undermine the
patriarchal nature of equality. They argue that the
unification of psychoanalysis, postmodernism, and
feminism...
....leads us to the shocking conclusion that women and men
cannot move beyhond the misery and suffering which so
haunts
the human condition,
...unless heterosexual men surrender the power that is
causing their misery, and affirm life by joyfully accepting
domination by women...
...and coversely, women reaffirm their power through
rejecting Oedipal genderization and sexuality by embracing
a
liberating matriarchal consciousness and a matriphallic
sexuality.
....Smith and Ferstman explore the consequences of reading
Nietzsche and Lacan in radical feminist terms as they
consider the issues of religion, law, and pornography.
A work of tremendous insight and extraordinary intellectual
energy, 'The Castration of Oedipus' will provoke strong
reactions in all readers regardless of ideology.
J.C.Smith is Professor of Law at the University of British
Columbia, and the author of 'The Psychoanalytic Roots of
Patriarchy: The Neurotic Foundations of Social Order.'
Carla J. Ferstman is Associate Counsel at the firm of
Bolton
and Muldoon.

yesterday
afternoon in Bookstar (it could just as easily have been
the public

found literally
hundreds of Feminist and Goddess spirituality titles. Most
of you have
read or heard of the titles cited here, but here are the
references for

Asia, some of
these might be in the USIS or British library in the larger
cities.
The comments are my own and not intended to portray
'correct' Female
Supremacy (or 'correct' anything else). ;D
NON-FICTION
_Women Who Run With the Wolves_ (Myths and Stories of the
Wild Woman Archetype), by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.,
trade paperback pub. Ballantine Books, New York, 1992.
ISBN 0-345-37744-3
(The title says it all. Tools for women to break away from
cultural conditioning and connect with their archetype(s).
If I could only keep one book about empowering Women, this
would be it. I give it as a gift often.)
_The Feminist Companion to Mythology_, ed. Carolyne
Larrington, trade paperback pub. Pandora, London, 1992.
ISBN 0-04-440850-1
(Not only an excellent anthology of myths and archetypes
arranged by culture, but also a first-class bibliography
and
with pointers to many other works. A book you can open
anywhere and learn something new.)
_When God was a Woman_, by Merlin Stone, paperback pub.
Harvest/Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, San Diego, from 1976 on.
ISBN 0-15-696158-X
(From the cover: "The story of the most ancient of
religions, the religion of the worship of the Goddess, and
the role this ancient worship played in Judeo-Christian
attitudes toward women." I personally agree with the
general
theme, but not all of Stone's scholarship or explanations.
I
still think it's an important essay, well worth reading,
and
won't argue with anyone about it.)
Also read but since given away to Women who wanted them:
_Erotic Power_, by Gini Graham Scott, an earlier (1983)
exploration of Woman-dominant BDSM, including a look at the
SMC in its early days in the San Francisco Bay area.
_Women On Top_, by Nancy Friday: a collection of
Woman-dominant erotic fantasies and visions, with
commentary.
Other non-fiction titles to look for:
_Beyond Feminism_ (I think is the title). Introduced and
reviewed here by Robin L. Breth (Trinity, Ladytech) last
summer of fall. I'll check, unless someone has that post
handy. As I recall, it declares the battle won, at least on
an individual basis.
_The Castration of Oedipus_. Heady stuff, see my next post.
I haven't found it yet, and am wondering if it isn't a
hoax.
Has anyone seen it?
DON'T FORGET that =huge= list published monthly on
alt.sex.femdom,
_The Dominant Woman in Print and Media_, with all kinds of
references
and pointers. Also many women who are authors (Janet Hardy
to single
out only one) post often on a.s.fd., and make the public
aware of their
own and others' publications (mostly in the femdom and
behavioral
area).
FICTION
Two fiction classics that formed my early and present
erotic
visions:
_Harriet Marwood, Governess_, anonymous. The definitive
Victorian
Governess novel, hard to match and one that I suspect has
had a great impact on other fiction of this type. The
absolutely classic schoolboy fantasy, elegantly crafted.
_Fort Frederick_, by a woman named (Francoise)(?) de
Lign(i)eris. A translated French and slightly Gothic novel
in a class by itself: an impoverished aristocratic spinster
shelters an escaped male convict in her crumbling villa.
Breathtaking meditations on power, otheriwse grim and
subtle. (Anyone who locates a copy of this _please_ let me
know. I very much miss having it around. Thanks.)
The late Frank Herbert's epic, awesome (and endless) _Dune_
series (NOT the movie, but the books, all of them) shows us
the _Bene Gesserit_, an omnicompetent and ruthless but
benign order of women dedicated to producing a Messiah
through a millenia-long selective breeding program and
otherwise guiding and manipulating human myths, culture and
history, mitigating at least the grosser horrors when it
suited them. The BG preferred to take the Long View and
operate from offstage, usually leaving childish things like
government and warfare to males. In general, Herbert casts
the BG as the 'good guys,' keeping the lid on civilzation
at
critical times. The BG are worth a thread (or even a
newsgroup) all by themselves, or you can read through the
27
pages the _Dune Encyclopedia_ devotes to them. (ed. Willis
E. McNelly, Berkley Books, New York, 1984, no ISBN when I
bought it.)
Better yet, read the _Dune_ books.
(Also a good read is Pamela Sargent's _The Shore Of Women_,
a look at a future Matriarchy in which all adult males are
banished to the wilderness, managed -and mesmerized- by
visiting women. There are others, but I haven't read them.
Worth a thread?)
Just a start, folks. What are =your= books?
Enjoy.

I agree.
A recent personal experience that supports this view:
Last year I was asked to make an entertaining/educational
presentation for daughter day. My partner and I developed a
presentation on my companies extensive audio/video setup.
She is a VERY intelligent, articulate and attractive woman
and would have been an excellant example to the young
ladies
that females can enjoy success in highly technical fields.
Unfortunately she refused to give the presentation, she
insisted
on staying at the back of the room, silently, and operate
the
various big projection screens and audio devices. I made
many
references to her being the "real" show while I was simply
the "mouth" but the young women focused on me. This year
she
doesn't even want to participate as she doesn't feel
comfortable
with an audience. I've asked several other females to take
her
place but they are either too busy or don't like being in
front
of a large group. I'm not a "showman" either (just a unix
geek
at heart) but I guess my conditioning as a male makes
showing
off in front of young women easier !! :-)
Sarcasm aside, this situation troubles me. Many of the
daughters
who attend are teens. It is during this stage of life that
young
women tend begin a practice of deferring to men. What an
opportunity to show them this behaviour is foolish. Any
suggestions on how I can turn another "man speakes, young
women listen" presentation around would be appreciated.
This
year I won't even be able to show them that a female is
really
running the show. My daughter is coming this year and I
plan on
getting her involved in some way but she is only 8 and
whatever
she does will probably come off as a "daddy let her play
with
the the buttons" kind of thing.
Thanks for listening

This is a very positive and exciting thread and I'm
grateful to all who
are participating in it.
I had a great moment recently...I got together with the
rest of my
husband's family for a memorial brunch, and my husband,
son, and
daughter all showed lots of affection and respect to me,
and quite
un-selfconsiously honored me in lots of little ways. I
could see that
their behavior toward me influenced the others present, not
only in how
they treated me, but in how they chose to act toward one
another in my
presence.
Little things you do have an effect, and that effect builds
over time.
I had to *retrain myself* after having been raised to defer
to men, and
humble myself reflexively. I decided in my teens that I
would be a
respected woman who's actions and opinions mattered, and I
have worked
toward that goal not only in my daily life, but even as I
slept and
dreamed.
I dress in a serious manner, but attractively, because
womanly allure
is a power that I believe in using. How you look sends a
message
before you speak a word. I also accept courtesies and
complements
without a fuss. I can't believe all the women who will
actually argue
with you if you try to honor them somehow; offer them a
better seat,
for example. If someone offers me a kind word or a better
seat, I take
it. I show approval when someone is respectful to me, and
disapproval
when someone is flip or rude to me. People like to be
approved of, and
eventually they tend to do more of what you approve of.
Don't be namby-pamby. Show what you like and dislike. If
you try too
hard to fit in or you'll end up shinking to fit what little
space is
left over when the egos who are more assertive are done.
Men who are respectful to women and will tolerate no
insults against
women can also have a huge effect in a positive direction,
without ever
degrading themselves or insulting their own sex or seeming
unmanly.
Men who are hateful to women may need to get their rebuke
from another
man, because they don't care for what women say. It works
better if it
comes from a respectable guy. Women who are timid benefit
greatly from
encouragement from men, because they are accustomed to
seeking male
approval. It works better if it comes from an upstanding
guy that
other people respect. Femsupremacy men have a pivotal role
to play, and
can be a huge help. They will be more help if they are
healthy in mind
and body, and respectable.
I agree that we'll all be better off when more women become
bolder and
take on more leadership roles. Sometimes the only solution
is for a
group of uppity women to organize for the specific purpose
of
supporting their more timid and ill-organized sisters until
they get
some wind in their sails. Femsupremacy men sometimes suffer
from a
loneliness unique to their brotherhood, and they struggle
with
self-esteem issues too. Each of us has to do what we can
for
ourselves, but not *by ourselves*. We need to make the
effort to get
together, not just in thought, but in the flesh.
I therefore invite you all to my house for coffee, tea, and
cookies :)

i have enjoyed the postings here, especially from Ms
Goodwin and Ms LeBlanc
and have saved some of their thoughts for future reference.
They have a
relationship with their husbands that most men here can
only dream of and
my thoughts of their lifestyle is only surpassed by the
jealousy i have for
their husbands.

It's true that a man in a vanilla marriage, with a wife not
interested in
femdom, can help further the cause by showing respect to
all women and
helping to develop the leadership role of women.
In doing so, we will make it easier for women in the future
to assert their
power over men. And more men will find it easier to develop
their
submissiveness.
Is this a good example of martyrdom?

humble myself reflexively. I decided in my teens that I
would be a
respected woman who's actions and opinions mattered, and I
have worked
toward that goal not only in my daily life, but even as I
slept and
dreamed.
I dress in a serious manner, but attractively, because
womanly allure
is a power that I believe in using. How you look sends a
message
before you speak a word. I also accept courtesies and
complements
without a fuss. I can't believe all the women who will
actually argue
with you if you try to honor them somehow; offer them a
better seat,
for example. If someone offers me a kind word or a better
seat, I take
it. I show approval when someone is respectful to me, and
disapproval
when someone is flip or rude to me. People like to be
approved of, and
eventually they tend to do more of what you approve of.
Don't be namby-pamby. Show what you like and dislike. If
you try too
hard to fit in or you'll end up shinking to fit what little
space is
left over when the egos who are more assertive are done.
Men who are respectful to women and will tolerate no
insults against
women can also have a huge effect in a positive direction,
without ever
degrading themselves or insulting their own sex or seeming
unmanly.
Men who are hateful to women may need to get their rebuke
from another
man, because they don't care for what women say. It works
better if it
comes from a respectable guy. Women who are timid benefit
greatly from
encouragement from men, because they are accustomed to
seeking male
approval. It works better if it comes from an upstanding
guy that
other people respect. Femsupremacy men have a pivotal role
to play, and
can be a huge help. They will be more help if they are
healthy in mind
and body, and respectable.
I agree that we'll all be better off when more women become
bolder and
take on more leadership roles. Sometimes the only solution
is for a
group of uppity women to organize for the specific purpose
of
supporting their more timid and ill-organized sisters until
they get
some wind in their sails. Femsupremacy men sometimes suffer
from a
loneliness unique to their brotherhood, and they struggle
with
self-esteem issues too. Each of us has to do what we can
for
ourselves, but not *by ourselves*. We need to make the
effort to get
together, not just in thought, but in the flesh.
I therefore invite you all to my house for coffee, tea, and
cookies :)

It's true that a man in a vanilla marriage, with a wife not
interested in
femdom, can help further the cause by showing respect to
all women and
helping to develop the leadership role of women.
In doing so, we will make it easier for women in the future
to assert their
power over men. And more men will find it easier to develop
their
submissiveness.
Is this a good example of martyrdom?

* Martyr *: n. 1) A person who chooses to suffer death,
rather than
renounce her/his religion. 2) A person who endures great
suffering on
behalf of any principle or cause.
Hi Peter. :) If you are simply being true to yourself, it's
not
martyrdom. If you try to live a double life, paying
lip-service to the
idea of female supremacy while continuing to enjoy a
servile wife and
all your other cock-privleges, then that is hypocrisy. But
if you are
honest and true and consistant, then you are simply an
honest man...a
real man.
A martyr is a woman or man who endures persecution or
hardships for the
sake of a cause. Many femdom men endure frustration to keep
one foot
in each camp. I don't think this qualifies. Get on one side
or the
other and devote your whole self and life indivisibly,
taking whatever
blows come with it bravely, and then you might be a martyr.
Personally, I don't wish for martyrdom...it's never more
desireable to
be persecuted. Still, I pray that if persecution comes,
that I have
the right stuff to withstand it bravely and remain true.
Horrors can be brought to bear that even the most
courageous cannot
withstand. Everyone has their breaking point. I hope you
never find
out what yours is...I wouldn't wish that on any friend. I
know too
much about brainwashing and the limits of human endurance
to say with
any certainty that I could endure the ultimate martyrdom.
But I *can*
certainly endure disappointment, frustration, and boredom,
even
cheerfully, for my cause, and so can you. :)

Good day Ms Goodwin:
Thank you for the comment.
i'm sure You can endure disappointment for Your cause.
However, You are
writing this from a Female's perspective. Disappointment
for You is
different than disappointment for me. A triumph for me is
entering into a
dialougue with You or any other aware Woman.
A problem, and i'm sure it has been discussed here, is how
society looks at
male-Female relationships, in particular marriage. Many
Women i have come
in contact with are interested in a submissive man, but
only if he is
single.
So what is a married man, who respects and cherishes his
Wife, to do?
Especially a man who is respectful of all people, whether
male or Female?
How can he develop his submissiveness without going to a
professional
Dominatrix? How can he help the cause without enduring
disappointmen,
frustration and boredom?
Even martyrs just wanna have fun.

IMHO: A submissive man has to be very strong. A man who
adores women is a
lonely man,that is what i had to learn. What does it mean
to be submissive
for you? I mean, is appreciating womens power and
intellegence already
submissiveness?
It is my experience too, that many women and men love the
idea of a
dominant-women-and-submissive-men-relation in their mind
but its mostly a
brain game not a lifestyle for *them*.
People who really want to live this believe(?) are rare.
Being submissive just to be submissive means nothing.
So what is a married man, who respects and cherishes his
Wife, to do?
Especially a man who is respectful of all people, whether
male or Female?
Listen to them. Be a friend. There is always something to
do for those you
love.
How can he develop his submissiveness without going to a
professional
Dominatrix? How can he help the cause without enduring
disappointmen,
frustration and boredom?
Hm, maybe you should try organisations like SMC or Orb and
Scepter(
although I dont know both from experience), just to see how
these people
see this cause. I received the basic rules and goals from
Orb & Scepter and
they (Lady Catherine Wolfe) seem to be a serious org,
devoted to the
practice of a dominant-women-with-submissive-men-relation
and how to really
live it.

I was in an unhappy marriage with a husband who was
incompatable:
obstructive and abusive. I decided I didn't want to live
that way, so
I chose to endure uncertainly and trial, including poverty
and other
privations, to hit the road with my 2 babies in search of a
better
life.
I eventually got my feet under me, and I daresay it hasn't
been easy
for me. Doing the right thing is often not easy. I advocate
doing the
difficult thing, if that is what you must do to live as you
think is
best.
I found a compatable husband, and we have been a happy
couple for 11
years, married 9 years as of today. * Happy Anniversary, My
Love *
We have forged a powerful bond with a white hot passion and
a shared
vision of "how it should be". This passion sometimes
includes others,
if we both agree.
Loneliness need not be our lot. There are millions of
female
supremacists, male and female, and if one makes the effort
one can find
oneself among them. That is what I have done, while
maintaining
healthy ties with the rest of the world. I did it step by
step, and
whenever possible I made choices that affirmed my desired
way of life.
It does require a certain determination and clarity of
vision. If you
lack these qualities, then work on developing them.
Speaking of love, I hope you know a decent person will not
betray one's
loved ones. Dishonesty and double-dealing is a form of
betrayal.
As for fun, it can be tremendous fun to finally feel like a
winner in
the game of life. You can't beat the odds unless you try.
If there is
something you want for yourself then you have to play for
it, and keep
playing until you get good at playing, and keep getting
good until you
win. Then keep winning until you can win with ease.
I do know of many vanilla/kink couples who solved the
problem by
deciding together to allow the kinky one to cultivate a
sidecar BDSM
relationship. As long as this agreement is freely entered
into, I
think it's a valid option. But such arrangements have their
own
dangers, and not the least of them is the possibility of
the sidecar
relationship becoming the primary one. Love and passion are
not
governable by reason and a sense of fair-play. What looks
good in
theory is in fact fraught with peril. It's not jolly fun
for the
vanilla partner to sit home alone time after time...HAVE A
HEART!
I personally feel that marriage should mean something, and
what it
means is between the wife and husband. What they *agree to*
is fine
with me. Few vanilla wives enjoy knowing that their husband
is
dissatisfied with the marital sex to such an extent that he
needs
outside amusement. That's a fact that husbands know very
well, which
is why so many lie and sneak around...they know damn well
that their
wives wouldn't like it, and would not approve. Me, with my
female's
perspective: I'm on the side of the wives.
I say if you want to act like a single guy, get a divorce.
If you want
to act like a devoted married man, get with the program and
rediscover
your love for your wife. In short, get on one ding-dong
side or the
other.

Mrs Gertrude Mongella from the United Republic of Tanzania,
was
appointed in 1993 by the Secretary General of the United
Nations to
serve as the Secretary General of the Fourth World
Conference on Women.
Mrs. Mongella, along with others appointed specifically for
the
Conference, was contracted by the UN until 31 December
1995, three
months beyond the Conference which took place in Beijing in
September
1995. This additional time enabled Mrs Mongella and her
team to wrap up
and present the results of the Conference to the 50th
Session of the UN
General Assembly. The results were very well received by
the General
Assembly and Mrs Mongella was praised and complimented for
her work in
achieving such a widely acclaimed outcome.
Upon the expiration of her contract, Mrs Mongella, at the
Secretary
General of the UN's request, has agreed to continue to
provide advice
to the SG in the area of women and development in light of
her
invaluable contribution and long experience. According to
this
arrangement, she assists the Secretary General in this
regard as and
when required. It is understood that Mrs Mongella will
particularly
concentrate on representing the Secretary General in
Africa, at
important meetings such as Organization of African Unity
(OAU) and any
meetings in that region convened around the issue of women
and
development.

THE FOLLOWING IS A POSTING FOR THE MOTHERS OF LIBERIA WHO
ARE HOLDING
A DAILY VIGIL AT THE PARK OPPOSITE THE UNITED NATIONS AT
42ND STREET.
THEY ARE SEEKING OUR HELP....THEY ARE SEEKING OUR SUPPORT!
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POST TO OTHER LISTS.
We the MOTHERS of Liberia appeal to all Grandmothers,
Mothers and
concerned WOMEN, to join us and make the world know once
and for all
that we will no longer tolerate the killing, mutilation and
torturing
of our children.
We the MOTHERS of Liberia waited patiently for the Abuja
Peace Accord
to be signed. We stood patiently and gave it our support.
Now the
Accord has been broken. On Saturday, April 6, 1996, renewed
civil
war broke out and has been described in all news reports,
the "worse
since the beginning of the civil war". There are reports of
rampant
raping of young girls, castration of women, and killing of
pregnant
women (thus their unborn) for political purposes. Our sons
and
grandsons have been drugged and forced to take arms under
ruthless
malicious leaders.
We the MOTHERS have joined together to protest the
devastion of our
country and to save the lives of whomsoever we can save by
our own
efforts. We ask all concerned women to join us at the UN
Park and
make the world to understand clearly once and for all, that
we the
MOTHERS must call an end to madness.
We are demanding:
A COMPLETE CEASE FIRE
DISARMAMENT OF OUR CHILDREN FOR THEIR OWN PROTECTION
We the MOTHERS will not stop our efforts of a 24-hour
SILENT
NON-VIOLENT VIGIL until there is a genuine response to the
present
emergency situation and genuine permanent peace in Liberia!
JOIN US!

[The following resource section is reprinted from the Sept.

Organizing Resources, Part 1
In keeping with the theme of this packet, this section
includes
resources that examine violence against women, the new
menUs
movement, feminist perspectives on nonviolence, and sexism
on
campus. We compiled these resources from our own library as
well
as from the libraries of feminist groups across the
country. We were
pleased to discover that the women's peace movement has
generated
such a large and thoughtful body of literature for us to
draw from.
We have attempted to include resources that offer
innovative
insights and concrete suggestions for action.
There is often an assumption that men in the peace movement
are somehow different from other men and therefore exempt
from
oppressive behavior and sexism. Unfortunately this is not
always
the case. Many female activists have encountered problems
with
male dominance. The nonviolent philosophies that guide many
groups can be considered sexist because they fail to treat
womenUs
oppression as seriously as other social problems. Theories
of
pacifism that fail to address the very real and destructive
effects of
socially sanctioned violence against women are deficient.
We have
therefore included resources that offer philosophical and
procedural
measures to confront sexism within our own ranks.
We have paid special attention to manifestations of sexism
on
campus. We have included literature that deals with
fraternity and
date rape, the barriers that confront female professors,
and the
absence of women from historical texts.
It is our hope that this section will help raise awareness
about
the misogyny that still exists in American culture, expose
the
common roots of sexism and militarism, and make our actions
more
effective and unifying. -Erin Bush

Sorry Magnus. War still exists, not doubt. But these wars
are minor
compared to the global wars fought earlier in this century.
I suspect
more people are murdered and die in auto accidents in the
US than are
killed in the wars that are being fought today.
The wars being fought today are minor? They're tending to
be localized for
the moment, but hardly minor in terms of the devastation or
lives lost. Not
too long ago, Iran and Iraq were at war, with millions of
fatalities. The
little brotherly feuding in Bosnia/Serbia has taken quite a
few lives, and
isn't terribly different from what caused the world wars,
not to mention
having destroyed very cultured cities that even the germans
and italians
wouldn't bomb. Ethnic cleansing in Africa, bloodbaths in
Cambodia and other
parts of southeast asia, China rattling sabers near
Taiwan... The scale and
expense of the mobilization of the US and allies for Desert
Storm was on a
par with D-Day, something mostly overlooked because of the
lack of casualties
- on 'our' side at least.
The threat of WW III does not loom over our heads as large
and threatening
as it used to. The major world powers have their
differences, but they
seem to be getting along. There is much more communication
than ever in
the history of the world (my Swedish friend). Consider...
The threat isn't the same, and it isn't as visible, but we
may actually be
closer to nuclear confrontation. The breakup of the soviet
union leaves
several nations there with nuclear capacity, any of which
might destabilize
and use the nukes. Even worse, they've been catching
smuggling rings who
were transporting weapon grade fissionable materials - and
if they're able
to catch some, there's probably more who are uncaught. WW
III may not be
started by a super power - but if some religious zealots or
other terrorists
manage to detonate a nuke in a major city, it's quite
likely that the super
powers will panic and launch. Oh, and let's not forget that
with outfits
creating and using their own lethal nerve agents, as was
the case in Japan,
biological weapons probably aren't far behind.
You're right. The world is not perfect. War still does
exist. It will
probably exist for many years to come. But we are moving
closer and closer
to World Peace. Believe it. I have faith in humanity, and
in Female Sup-
remacy. I also have patience.
Heh. As a cynic, a believer in the bad side of huMAN
nature, and a pessimist,
I do tend to agree that maybe we're getting closer to
"World Peace". The
peace of a mausoleum, a quiet tomb that once housed homo
sapiens and other
forms of animal life. Presuming that fate is averted, I
prognosticate a
less cheerful future, as man's poisoning of the earth's
ecosphere stops only
because of a lack of resources as male dominated
governments and corporations
strip the earth and mankind is reduced to scavenging,
fighting hand to hand
over rusted scrap metal.
The only way out that I see is for something extremely
unlikely to happen :
women, with associated "womanly" values and paradigms,
begin to have more
influence and control over governments and perhaps more
importantly, corpo-
rations. One possible way for this to happen is... female
supremacy, or at
least more matriarchal forms of governing local
communities, nations, and
corporate entities.
------
Sidebar - Lawless's defination of "womanly values"
In my experience, women tend to have values that differ
from those of typical
males. Valueing ecology at least in addition to economy,
both for nature's
own sake, and so that their children have a decent world to
live in. Having
more of an emphasis on personal relations then professional
ones, to where
even professional relationships tend to become personal,
placing more import-
ance on family, friendship, and love than on climbing the
corporate ladder
for wealth and power. Tolerance for others, noticeably for
those of alter-
nive sexualities, less visibly demonstrably in terms of
religious or racial
differences. Compassion, nurturing- comforting and aiding
others when they
are down, rather than taking advantage of them.
And no, I'm not saying that all women have these values, or
that there aren't
men who do. Nor are I going to agree with those who
maintain that women are
'superior' because of these things, or for other reasons.
Different, and
perhaps better suited to governing or being in control at
the moment, simply
to balance and perhaps compensate for masculine influences
having had dominion
for far too long. Male competiveness and will for power
have led to a present
with the potential for no future, hence my support for a
more gynocentric
society.

Chase and Magnus. You both present valid points. Yes, there

these wars. Yes, we are not out of the woods yet. But
consider this. =
In the face of crowding populations, dwindling resources,
and the =
ongoing crippling of our planets ecosystem, we do not have
the imminent =
threat of WW III. Why? Because we're better, stronger,
smarter, and =
more enlightened than ever before. We have better and

communication. We are becoming more educated, and the truth
sayers =
voice can now be heard above the din of propaganda and
misinformation. =
We're moving from a frontier society into a spaceship Earth
society. =
And yes, women are playing a greater role in determining
our present and =
our future.
I had intended on posting some thoughts entitled "Necessity

horrible =
conflicts in the history of the world if not the most. It
was a war of =
attrition on a global scale. Devastating loss of lives and
resources. =
But out of this massive global conflict came the seeds of a
golden =
future for our world.
During my college days it was very common for my professors
to point out =
that much of what I was learning was a direct result of WW
II. =
Operations Management and Operations Research are the
management =
techniques and specific math relating to maximizing
resources. Most, if =
not all, of the techniques and math were a direct result of
WW II. =
There was a massive and immediate need to maximize
materials, produce =
goods, and improve technology in everything from
aerodynamics to canning =
food. Granted it was for the war effort, but most of the
techniques and =
technologies were easily translated into peace time uses.
But there was =
a greater, more important need that sowed the seeds of
Female Equality =
and eventually Female Supremacy.
As I said earlier, WW II was a war of attrition. Early on
the military =
services were picking the cream of the crop for manpower to

America's =
young and middle aged men at an alarming rate. But what

ships, the planes. Women stepped up and took over the
duties that were =
normally filled by men during peace time without

Most of them. They welcomed their husbands, sons and

Female Equality were sown. =20
The cat was out of the bag. Women got a taste of their own
strength and =
abilities. They liked it. For a little while women were
content to =
stay home, maintain the household, bear and raise children.
It was only =
natural. Repopulate and rebuild. Continuation of the
species. =
Besides, the men were traumatized, re-acclimating
themselves to peace =
time, their egos large but fragile. In the fifty years

women and men have changed. The male ego is still large and

but not nearly so. Women are taking more and more positions

rather than =
the exception. Women can and do survive on their own in
today's =
society. I feel this is more than a trend towards Female
Equality, =
Female Equality is a fact. =20
Female Supremacy. Not a fact, but not a fiction. A concept,

I don't see any reason for anyone to be proud of having had
to
fight a war. It may be necessary, and we all owe the men
and women
from all over the world, who sacrificed a lot, our deepest
gratitude,
but I doubt that many of them feel pride in having killed
other
humans. I know, I wouldn't.
If the European democracys also hadn't been so lenient in
their
handling of the German dictatorship in its early stages,
there
probably wouldn't have been a second world war. War came as
a result
of the failure of the international community to cooperate
in keeping
Germany in check. Further, the international community
contributed to
the German desire for revenge by imposing severe demands on
Germany in
the peace treaty after the first world war. The "winners"
wanted
revenge, and made sure they got it, and then they payed a
huge price
21 years later. Fortunately they learned from their
previous mistakes,
when the peace treaty after the second world war was
drafted, and
aided Germany in rebuilding its infra-structure and economy
while
keeping a close eye on the country's military
reconstruction.
On a personal note I'd appreciate some discussion or email

Laura,
I've often thought that my personal feelings about Female
dominance
(not Female Domination) would be more accurately labeled
Female Centric, or
Gynococentric (the later is actually in the dictionary; but
is that Gynoco..
or is it Gyneco.. ? Don't remember.) My personal feeling is
that this
labelling better reflects the Female as the center of
society, which She is
even now, and also subsumes Her possible domination of the
male as a
perogative, but does not demand it if that is not Her
individual style or
situation.
By the way thanks for being here; You and Dee-Ann are very
important
to the survival of this group as Women generally are in the
life of groups,
and I for one would like to extend my sincere
appreciatation. (I don't mean
you others aren't important ... you are. But the Ladys are
especially
important.

Ladies
Pardon me for intruding (just this one time), but I don't
really see
what the issue is. Any interaction between a Woman and man
is inherently
sexual in nature, and patriarchal religions quite aside,
payment for sex of
any kind seems like any other transaction, with both
parties receiving
benefit for consideration. I'm really sticking my neck out
here, but I
suspect whatever the issue is, it isn't what is actually
being said by
anyone. (That's something I've noticed in some other
interchanges also: not
just Female ones that is).
With respect to what's actually being said, let me provide
a little
male insight, which may in this particular issue have some
significance. It
is difficult coming to grips with the reality of ones
predisposition towards
submitting to Women ... in my particular case it has
spanned three decades
and has been problematic to say the least ... and isn't
done with yet. From
experience I can assure You that at any particular time in
dealing with this
reality a male may be capable of only a range possible
behaviors (self
limits). There are points at which paying for a scene with
a pro-dom is not
only the best he can do but it may also be beneficial; in
deed it may be his
ultimate limit. On the other hand it seems highly
desireable in the final
analysis to find a stable relationship in which to explore
Female domination
(I don't really see how anyone could argue with that). It's
a big world ...
lots of rooms for all sorts of things. Personally I like
apples AND
oranges, ... each has it's place.
I know I can't win here but was driven to add my two cents
anyway.
With trepidation, zbobz.

Would any of the members of this list, who do live in a

This is certainly true, and I have applied this in my life.
Women can
train men *if they know how* to be compliant, bu the trick
is getting
women organized and prepared to rule.
It has probably been mentioned here before, but women do
have the
ultimate power. They usually raise our children. If the
mothers knew
how, it would be easy to train the boys to respect and be
subservient
to the girls, if it's done from an early age.
Unfortunately, most

Laura Goodwin wrote, responding to Dee-Ann's advice:
Exactly. I endorse everything Dee-Ann says here.
Femsupremacy: the femdom world has some overlapping
population, as does
the feminist, but femsupremacy is distinctive. In femdom,
the emphasis
can still be on the male, but in femsupremacy the woman is
at the center.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Methinks that depends quite a bit on your definition / view
of female sup-
remacy, Laura. For some it may well be true, where for them
it's a spiritual
matter more than anything else, and for some brands of
female dominance with
an emphasis on supremacy, an' probably for those who think
that all women
should be in charge of, and are superior to, all men. Then
again, many of
the men claiming this are actually fetishizing/fantasizing
it, looking for
a sexual relationship of a particular kink - in which case
the male is still
arguably at the center.
It also is, can be, a political or philosophical view,
where any number of
possible centers might exist, including the ecosphere/Gaia
or humanity as a
whole. Some people might think that the only hope for
stopping Gaia's rape
is for women to be more in charge of things, or that long
term survival of
the human race / civilization depends on power being taken
away from the age
old patriarchal system with its entrenched value systems.
For some extreme moderates, it even seems to be more a
concern for creating
equity between the genders, righting social and economic
imbalances that
exist - certainly a worthy goal, but not really a matter of
'femsupremacy'
according to many.
Then there's those for whom disdain and/or hate seem to be
at the center of
-their- views of femsupremacy, including some who've been
active members of
this list in the past, who maintain that men should be seen
and not heard,
that all men should be subservient to the will of all women
with no rights
or freedoms save for those given them. Much more
traditional a supremacist
credo, a mirror image of certain other beliefs, and no, I
certainly wouldn't
agree with those who said that woman was at the center of
their femsupremacy,
and I doubt that many here on the list would either. Sadly,
this is one of
the negative images commonly found in the general public's
minds, and in the
media - that femsupremacy is simply another extreme form of
male bashing.
An' no, I don't think that many here agree with that last
one, and I know that
Laura doesn't. But I thought I'd use a minor quibble as a
launching point for
some non-FemDom oriented thoughts. ;-

Also, as an example, one of the posts I'm going to forward

Friends,
The OHSU computer system is having fits, so please forgive
me if
this post is not exactly relevant or up-to-date. Many of
the recent
posts have dealt with FemDom rather than FemSupremacy
issues, and I
thought I'd add one person's perspective to this thread.
Please keep in
mind that I am very new to the "scene" and have dealt with
it in only one
area. Also, some of my files were wiped out so I will not
attempt to
cite exact quotes and may even misidentify authors.
Since I am a "newbie" with the local bdsm community, I feel
very
emphatic with those folks who are having trouble fitting
in. As has been
said often in this list it takes time, especially if you
are a male
submissive. Female dominants have the "pick of the litter",
so expect to
have a long wait. Still, if these feelings are so important
to you, the
time you spend will be worth it. Meanwhile, what can you do
to make
things happen?
For starters, show up! (thank you Laura and c.s). One
person
related a bad experience with the local bdsm group, and
maybe he does
indeed live in a place full of jerks. But more than likely
his inherent
shyness, coupled with an initial meeting with some
insensitive people,
turned him off. Get used to it, bucko, you're gonna get
shot down
frequently. Keep trying, and be honest; state what you
desire and what
you are willing to give. Here in Portland it seemed like
people were
lining up to give me counseling, advice, and comfort; I
soon understood
what the terms "bdsm community" and "leatherfolk" meant. If
you're
sincere, people will help you out even if they don't have a
personal
interest in you.
Once you've got your feet on the ground, show some flash!
Contribute to the Community in any way you can. Remember
Laura's posts
on her organizational efforts? Sure, very few of us have
the ability
to do that much, but you have to start somewhere. Volunteer
to help
set up parties, work on your local group's newsletter, plan
and
organize events, or whatever. People will notice, and then
they may
start thinking of you in other contexts.........;-
As for the ProDomme issue, I have dealt with only one. Even
though she knew that I was in a relationship and had "no
commercial
potential" (thank you, F. Zappa), she went out of her way
to help me
out and cheer me up. I don't know if she has sex with her
clients or
not, but if she is in any way representative of the Pros in
general
they are a very good group.
Peace,
Barry

Subject: Re: No sex...NOT! ;)
I am not in a steady relationship with a lady nor am I one
of those
fortunate husbands married to a wonderful lady such as
Laura or Tasha
(Green:with envy). I have however formed wonderful
relationships with ladies
that would be considered Professional Doms. From my
experience (& maybe I
have been lucky)I have always had some form of sex toward
the end of my
training session. Now to cover an earlier topic, with one
particular Lady,
every second Wednesday I would visit my tutor, and the lady
in question
would put me to work. Whether it was cleaning the windows,
doing handyman
jobs or washing the dishes I would attend her needs with
joy, I was happy
that I was usefull to her, I expected NO sex of any form
from her in return,
even on these days, I obviously worked to her satisfaction
because
invarioubly I was granted some form of release, sexually,
and certainly not
instigated by me, even though I was happy to recieve it.
Thats my two bobs worth

OK, but how do you define "sex"?
There are in fact huge numbers of Pro Doms who make it
their business
to sexually gratify their customers in sessions, usually by
masturbating the guy while he's in bondage, using
vibrators, dildos,
etc. or by ordering/allowing him to masturbate himself
while kneeling
or grovelling, and wearing his fetish stuff. Isn't this
"sex"?

OK, but how do you define "sex"?
*I* define "sex" as sexual intercourse. (penetration)
*I* define a sexual act as anything that involves
intimate/genital contact
and/or exchange of body fluids.
There are in fact huge numbers of Pro Doms who make it
their business to
sexually gratify their customers in sessions, usually by
masturbating the
guy
while he's in bondage, using vibrators, dildos, etc. or by
ordering/allowing

True. No doubt. Huge numbers of them.
But self masturbation while kneeling or groveling is not
having sex with the
Mistress. Is it "sex" if a guy masturbates by himself in
the bathroom
while reading magazines ?? Nope. Not in *my* book.

While I certainly agree that if Women were larger than men
it would be a lot
easier for them to assert their will, I suspect there are
other mechanisms
that could work pretty effectively too. Some examples
follow:
(1) Economic coersion: She controls the purse, and he knows
that his
economic well being depends on Her good will.
Consider: Your Lady boss tells you in no uncertain terms
what She expects
and that your (good) job is on the line. She weighs 101
lbs, you weigh 195.
What do you do?
(2) Political coersion: She calls upon the legally
constituted enforcement
agency to enforce Her will.
Consider: The ability of the members of the ruling class to
impose their
will on others regardless of size is legend.
(3) Conditioning: In accordance with well established
principles of
conditioning he has learned to respond to Her in a
compliant manner.
Consider the analogous situation of the lion trainer in a
case with six or
seven lions. He would not even represent a minor challenge
to them
physically, but because of their training he is able to
push them around.
The very same principles can be applied to men.

I've got no argument with this, Stan, as different men
express their
feelings toward FemSupremacy in different ways. Even the
women in our
community have varying expectations.
it is unsecure men that
ridicule those women that are strong enough to stand up for
what they
believe,but just as guilty is the woman who is ashamed and
denies who
she is for fear of being ridiculed.
Please rethink this idea. Women may be born innately
superior, but our
society does its level best to convince them otherwise, and
all too often
succeeds. My deepest respect goes out to all the women who
have freed
themselves of this conditioning and taken steps toward
reaching their
full potential. But I cannot blame those in shame and
denial, because it
is unrealistic to expect one woman to take on the entire
patriarchal
system. Instead, I believe that all of us should reach out
to these
women and teach them that there is another way, or to be
more accurate,
many other ways.

This is well said by you, Barry. The Patriarchal P.R.
machine is
relentless, and has had it's effect on my kids in spite of
my careful
upbringing. My daughter screams when she sees a bug. My son
is
squeamish about them too, but he doesn't *scream*. For the
record, I
am not afraid of bugs and neither is their father, so it's
a mystery
where this phobia came from.
At school, my daughter was being harassed by some boys on a
daily
basis, and I didn't even hear about it from her or from the
school
until it had been going on for a month...finally she
complained to me.
I couldn't understand why she put up with it, why her
teacher did
nothing, why the boys picked on her in the first place. I
had to demand
that the principal step in, to chastise both the do-nothing
teacher and
the bully boys. What ever happened to classroom standards?
Oh, I
forgot, allowing bullies a free hand in class, on the
playground, in
the streets, and in the corporate boardrooms *is* our
standard. :(

And just what is YOUR definition of a slave, Mark? I'm
sorry to have to
say
that I deleted your defense of yourself, so I don't have
exact quotes.
However, you thanked those 'lurkers', one of whom was
myself, who had
come
to
your defense about your recent posts, prefering to give you
the benefit
of
the doubt in this dispute. What you have apparently failed
to appreciate
though, is that myself and probably most ( all? ) of your
other defenders
ARE
SLAVES. Is this to be our reward? More flamebaiting? I
certainly regret
my
earlier defense if this is your attitude. Because for me,
submission to
my
mistress, slavery if you will, is not the act of a person
who lacks in
self
respect, or who has no choice in the matter. Slaves can,
and often do, '
vote with their feet '. Still, there is great satisfaction
in being able
to
say to your Mistress that you exist to please Her, to serve
Her needs, to
obey Her wishes above all. It is to me the ultimate
expression of my love
for
Her, to suffer for Her pleasure and demonstrate through
that suffering
just
how deeply felt my love, respect and need for Her is. And
to know what it
is
that motivates my service to Her causes my Mistress to
return that
respect
in
equal measure, to appreciate the gift to Her that my
submission is, that
She
may use to guide and improve _both_ our lives, as She sees
fit. For there
can
be _no_ dominance or submission without the ultimate
exchange of trust
and
respect between partners. I truly hope that if you learn
nothing else
here,
it is that fact.
Tom
- to Love, Honor and OBEY
In a relation of trust and fairness it finally starts.:)
Thank you Tom

This is well said by you, Barry. The Patriarchal P.R.
machine is
relentless, and has had it's effect on my kids in spite of
my careful
upbringing. My daughter screams when she sees a bug. My son
is
squeamish about them too, but he doesn't *scream*. For the
record, I
am not afraid of bugs and neither is their father, so it's
a mystery
where this phobia came from.
At school, my daughter was being harassed by some boys on a
daily
basis, and I didn't even hear about it from her or from the
school
until it had been going on for a month...finally she
complained to me.
I couldn't understand why she put up with it, why her
teacher did
nothing, why the boys picked on her in the first place. I
had to demand
that the principal step in, to chastise both the do-nothing
teacher and
the bully boys. What ever happened to classroom standards?
Oh, I
forgot, allowing bullies a free hand in class, on the
playground, in
the streets, and in the corporate boardrooms *is* our
standard. :(

would be more suitable. you

and it will try

the trick is

Here in the U.S.A. it is virtually impossible to make any
effective
changes in the statewide or Federal political system. Think
about
it....when was the last time you voted for a candidate on
any grounds but
the fact that (s)he was the lesser of two evils? If you
want a clue as
to why this is so, check out the reportage of the jockeying
that goes on
to win the major parties' nominations. Issues are relegated
to a minor
status, and the hopefuls' chances are judged by how much
money they have
raised or can hope to raise. Until we have meaningful
campaign finance
reform in America our candidates will continue to be bought
by the
wealthy corporate power structure.
Well, then, one thing to do then is to locate a group
pushing for
campaign finance reform in the US and help it with money or
time.
Feel free to list contact information for such groups.
Reform in this area is not a hopeless cause. Here in Oregon
we passed a
public initiative (the Legislature, of course, would not
touch the issue)
limiting individual and corporate contributions to $100 per
candidate. If
your state has the initiative or referendum process, start
gathering
signatures! Meanwhile join or contribute to an organization
fighting for
campaign finance reform, like Common Cause. Meanwhile, do
the standard
things like demanding reform in letters to your
representatives or to
your newspaper.
Excellent idea. How do people contact Common Cause?
Also, as someone else suggested recently, remind the dear
Republicans
about their term limit in their lovely "Contract with
America."
Remind them loudly and publically. Elections are coming up.
I have an idea for Canadians as well. Start pushing for
Sentate
reform, or removal. All the Senate seems to be there for is
to give
jobs to pets of the folks in power. It either needs an
actual
_purpose_, or to stop existing as a waste of taxpayers'
money.
For Brits, I understand that Britian is one of the worst
countries in
the western world for having virtually no women in high
political
office. Even Iran has more women in office than the UK
(factoids
gotten from the Canadian Newsworld channel). Try to help
out the
campaigns of the more competent women running for office.
Is it that
no women are running, that the women who're running don't
look
competent, or that people aren't willing to vote for women?
An area where you can have real influence is the local
level. Pick an
issue where you feel women are getting particularly shafted
and find out
what local authority is responsible for dealing with it. If
you think
the school system is gyno-unfriendly (a tip o' th' black
leather porkpie
to Laura) run for your school board, or do volunteer work
for a
canditate who shares your views. Are women treated unfairly
by the
banking, insurance and utility agencies? Many regulatory
boards are
chosen by elections, or if they are appointive lobby your
local
legislator to appoint you (it's not that big of an issue to
them since
there are so many appointments to be made, so if you and
your friends
mouth off enough you may be surprised by the results). The
individual
decision is up to you, but you get the idea.
One thing happening in Canada is that optional single-sex
classes are
becoming more popular in public schools. It isn't an all
day thing,
simply certain classes (like science and math) are offered
where girls
can choose to take a girl only class. "Studies show" that
the early
teen years are where the worst self-esteem problems tend to
emerge.
The idea behind the girl only classes (mostly offered in
Junior High
schools and middle schools) is to remove a bit of the
gender
competition. Girls who do fine in mixed-gender classrooms
have the
option of taking the mixed classes.
You can also volunteer with organizations that help out
single
parents, rape crisis centers, the homeless, etc. There is a
LOT folks
can do to help in their community.

1. posting to say that people here have mental problems
2. posting repeated snide comments about people here doing
nothing but sit at their computers
3. going on about how we don't understand what "feminism"

I found this mailing list by looking up feminist on
Netscape. If this
isn't a feminist mailing list, why is under feminist?
I am paid decent bux to sit on my computer (actually it
sits
where I want it to) and shoot, move and communicate. That's
a big
part of what I do. I daresay many others here make their
livings
using a computer. It happens. And very few of us use
microwaves
or toasters to post to this or any list: mostly it's
computers.
Fact of life. Computers, telephones and TV are rapidly
merging
with each other and with Real Life.
Many of us are also 'out there' actively promoting or at
least
abetting Women On Top in a number a ways, some of them
novel or
even unique. I certainly do. (See the 'Is ... God a Woman?'
post: I'm
part of all that). I work mainly for and with women in
almost all
aspects of my public and private life: no big deal, no
'lifestyle'
emphasis (well, usually not ;] ), I just go out and do it
the same
way I recycle and rescue lost animals and visit the sick
because
it seems like the thing to do.
'Why is [this list] under feminist?'
I dunno: ask Netscape.
Feminism (in its many forms) is certainly one of the core
components of whatever Female Supremacy (in _its_ several
forms)
is. (The other two, in this writer's opinion, are Goddess
or Wise
Woman spirituality -in its several forms, some within
traditional
forms, some revivals, some totally new- and -especially it
seems for
males- woman-defined BDSM. I would add a lot of Green to
this mix.)
Now, that's my highly subjective -self-serving, even- take
on it.
Laura's statement that FS and Feminism have common ground
(for now)
may sum it up best.
Perhaps FS is post-Feminist? Does it really matter?
Dee is right in saying there is no 'correct' view of FS-
it's not
a doctrine or a dogma or an ideology. Rather it's a way of
looking
at a lush garden -weeds, fruits, nuts and all- of
woman-centered
possibilities.
Peace :)

By the way (BTW) Laura mentioned a welcome file for this

on-line magazine called Flesh and Blood, does anyone know
where can I find
them?
Also; no matter what your living arrangements are there are
always chores to
be done which are not the most glamorous, and seem to
continually need to be
done over and over again.
Several people on this list have asked what people are
doing to advance the
caise of female supremacy. It seems to me that alot is
being done just in
exsisting and living well in the lifestyle which we have
chosen. That
combined with letting people know what that livestyle is
shows others how FS
is better and the fact that it can work well. Politically
seeking there are
two things that stand out in my mind. The first is that the
most oppressive
laws and restrictions are local. The second is that someone
considered
important once said, "All politics is inheritantly local".
He was talking

David,
Your assumption that people on this list are doing nothing
other than
sitting on their butts in front of a computer screen is
offensive.
For all we know, you are doing nothing more.
In recent posts, Laura has described what she is doing to
further Female
Supremacism and to defend sexual and social freedom so that
the climate is
less hostile toward FS ideas.
Dee-Ann is clearly putting in a lot of time moderating this
list (more than
usual lately, it would appear).
Others on this list have talked about what they are doing
and have
offered suggestions for others.
I myself have been active in my local pansexual BDSM group
(the Black Rose
in Washington, DC) since its inception nearly 9 years ago
and have made
assisted in social/educational FemDom activities as time
has permitted.
To answer your question, this list might be considered
feminist because FS
and feminism have common short-term goals. However, female
supremacists
tend to want to take the idea of female empowerment farther
than many
feminists. How much farther is a valid topic for debate on
this list.
I fear you may have wandered in cyberspace to somewhere
where you are
not comfortable. Please feel free to ask *polite*
questions.
Jonathan
Good one Jonathan.

However, you thanked those 'lurkers', one of whom was

submission to my

and often do, '

in being able to
say to your Mistress that you exist to please Her, to serve
Her needs, to
obey Her wishes above all. It is to me the ultimate
expression of my love for
Her, to suffer for Her pleasure and demonstrate through
that suffering just
how deeply felt my love, respect and need for Her is. And
to know what it is
that motivates my service to Her causes my Mistress to
return that respect in
equal measure, to appreciate the gift to Her that my
submission is, that She
may use to guide and improve _both_ our lives, as She sees
fit. For there can
be _no_ dominance or submission without the ultimate
exchange of trust and
respect between partners. I truly hope that if you learn

Please
include what country you're referring to in your posts.
Here in the U.S.A. it is virtually impossible to make any
effective
changes in the statewide or Federal political system. Think
about
it....when was the last time you voted for a candidate on
any grounds but
the fact that (s)he was the lesser of two evils? If you
want a clue as
to why this is so, check out the reportage of the jockeying
that goes on
to win the major parties' nominations. Issues are relegated
to a minor
status, and the hopefuls' chances are judged by how much
money they have
raised or can hope to raise. Until we have meaningful
campaign finance
reform in America our candidates will continue to be bought
by the
wealthy corporate power structure.
Reform in this area is not a hopeless cause. Here in Oregon
we passed a
public initiative (the Legislature, of course, would not
touch the issue)
limiting individual and corporate contributions to $100 per
candidate. If
your state has the initiative or referendum process, start
gathering
signatures! Meanwhile join or contribute to an organization
fighting for
campaign finance reform, like Common Cause. Meanwhile, do
the standard
things like demanding reform in letters to your
representatives or to
your newspaper.
An area where you can have real influence is the local
level. Pick an
issue where you feel women are getting particularly shafted
and find out
what local authority is responsible for dealing with it. If
you think
the school system is gyno-unfriendly (a tip o' th' black
leather porkpie
to Laura) run for your school board, or do volunteer work
for a
canditate who shares your views. Are women treated unfairly
by the
banking, insurance and utility agencies? Many regulatory
boards are
chosen by elections, or if they are appointive lobby your
local
legislator to appoint you (it's not that big of an issue to
them since
there are so many appointments to be made, so if you and
your friends
mouth off enough you may be surprised by the results). The
individual
decision is up to you, but you get the idea.
I'm looking forward to hearing other viewpoints on this
issue!

David, I believe that the problem here is that you made the
blind
assumption, (as you do not know any of us), that all we do
is sit in front of
our computers. Even though I have only been on this list a
short time, I
have seen long periods of quiescence. Sure, maybe we're all
busy posting
to other Lists and NGs, living off delivery pizza and
ruining our eyes,
but it could also be that we are out in the "real world"
trying to effect
some of the changes we write about.
I personally view the time I spend on this list as being an
investment in
education, and feel that I have learned as much here as I
have during the
equivalent time spent at College or University. And the
"Professors" are
far more interesting besides!
Do you have anything constructive to teach? If so, please
let the rest
of us learn it. If not, keep an open mind and you may be
surprised at the
amount and quality of the knowledge available here.
Peace,

I can't figure out why these people, who don't like what

One of life's annoying little mysteries... :)
I'd say it's either a masochistic tendency they might not
even be aware
of, or a desire to appear "normal" to others around them.
Perhaps both.
This reminds me of those people I know who go on and on
about what an
evil thing some TV shows (esp. tabloids and talk shows)
are. They'll go on
giving me one example after another about things they don't
like about a
particular show. I can understand it if want to watch 1 or
2 episodes of
Jerry Springer, it will help you explain what you're
against. But I'm
talking about these people who obviously watch these things
every day.
OK, let's say for example Jerry's next show is about
bestiality,
something most people would say is abnormal. And we'll take
2
hypothetical viewers who say this is one horrible talk
show.
Viewer A can't stand the idea of bestiality but he watches
anyway, he's
just a glutton for punishment. That's the masochistic
tendency.
But Viewer B likes the idea and so he watches the show. He
doesn't want
his family or friends to feel he's abnormal at all, so he
blasts Jerry
and the producers for sinking to such a low level, so his
preference
stays a secret and everyone will keep thinking he's
"normal".
Of course I can't speak for any 1 person and why they're
here. But even
if you "shouldn't" be here, you had to seek out this
mailing list and
send in your request to subscribe, so you had some reason
to subscribe.
Personally, I don't feel it's worth my time to be here if I
didn't agree
with the FS ideals. If I take the time to read opposing
view points in
the paper, then I do it on my own. If I didn't believe in
FS, I'd be
surrounded by those who do and that makes things
uncomfortable if not worse.
Well that's my $.01 (the other of my 2 cents went to the

all look to me for leadership and guidance. My children are
expected=20
to obey me, and I have earned their respect and love.
I have structured my whole life in such a way that I enjoy
the=20
responsibilities and privileges of power. I have taken it
upon myself=20
to help save the human race, one person at a time if
necessary. My=20
activities as a Priestess and Leatherfolk advocate have led
to my being=20
honored and offered authority positions, which I like. I'm
comfortable=20
with the demands of leadership.
There are millions of women who are suited for dominance;
not=20
just sexual, but social dominance as well. They do not need
to be put=20
down and kept in their place; they need to rise to their
natural place=20
in life. They have mental and spiritual needs which are not
satisfied=20
by the current social superstructure. The present society
still favors=20
males over females, encouraging males to be domineering,
while=20
discouraging and handicapping females. If males were truly
naturally=20
dominant over females, there would be no need to "stack the
deck". The=20
fact that overwhelming pressure must be maintained to keep
women down=20
is clear evidence that women don't just naturally stay
down.
When I see a masochistic woman who limits her "master's"
power to=20
the bedroom, demanding to be respected at all times as a
human being, I=20
feel glad. When submissive men demand their right to have
their=20
sexual and psychological needs and respected, complaining
that they're=20
tired of being forced to pretend they are macho when
they're not, I am=20
overjoyed. I can't tell you how much that means to me.
Yes,=20
submissives have rights, and I am a staunch defender of
those rights. =20
A little respect is good for everyone, and it's good for
the soul to=20
show respect to other human beings. I hope we all respect
ourselves=20
enough to give ourselves lovers who value us.=20
I want the sexes to have full equality, and a level=20
playing field. So? What does that make me? Is there a word
for=20
someone who likes it when women and men enjoy equal
advantages? Yes,=20
a Feminist. =20
When I'm in the company of a fully evolved dominant man, I
can=20
admire him and enjoy his company, considering him to be a
brother,=20
unless he's one of those who honestly believes that women
are inferior=20
to men... you know, a Male Chauvinist. =20
A Female Chauvinist is someone who thinks that women are
superior=20
to men, with men still being the norm. I am not a female
chauvinist. =20
I believe in the innate equality of the sexes. For me, this
is not an=20
article of faith, but a manifest fact of life. There are
submissive=20
men and women. There are dominant women and men. There are
men and=20
women who are both dominant and submissive. This proves
nothing. =20
This, plus enough for a token, will get you a ride on the
subway. =20
In the Goddess-worshipping SMC church, there is no
conflict=20
between flesh and spirit; they are one. We advocate
practicing S/M as=20
a spiritual discipline, as well as a hot erotic practice.
The=20
Priestess is an agent of the Goddess, and can represent the
Goddess=20
incarnate in ritual. Every woman is the queen of her own
hearth and=20
home. The men in our church can be Priests, and embody the
God, (our=20
Goddess's consort) during ritual. Our religion is that the
Goddess is=20
the supreme deity, mother of all, even other Gods. Because
we=20
celebrate "the Female over the Male" (namely the Goddess
over the God),=20
we may be called gynosupremacists, until someone thinks of
a better=20
word. =20
One woman acquaintance told me she doesn't like the word
because=20
it reminds of terms like "White Supremacist" . I said,
"Well you call=20
yourself a sadomasochist, and some people in the D/S
community don't=20
like that word for similar reasons." Anybody can say they
don't like a=20
word. Still, gynosupremacists need at least one word to
distinguish=20
themselves from those who don't care who's on top, and
those who prefer=20
men on top. We believe in and live a female-dominant
lifestyle. You=20
don't have to be into S/M to be a gynosupremacist, but if
you are then =20
you are a sadomasochistic gynosupremacist, like me. =20
Now I'll tell you what gynosupremacists aren't: we
aren't=20
sexists. All men and women are equal under the Goddess. She
is the=20
mother of us all, and loves us all equally. In my religion,
each=20
person is divinely authorized to be an agent for the
Goddess or God. =20
We assert that the body, the world, and life itself is
sacred,=20
deserving respect and preservation, and yes, I do want to
see those=20
values reflected in my daily life.
We see the beauty and divinity of both sexes. We assert
the=20
divinity of the female. This serves to balance the
overwhelmingly=20
pro-male propaganda that this patriarchal social system
insists on=20
force-feeding everyone. We demand that the Goddess's right
to equal=20
time, and woman's right to fair deal be respected.
Gynosupremacy is a=20
perfectly reasonable philosophy and way of life. Those of
us who=20
practice it demand the right to live and love in the way
that seems=20
best for ourselves, free from undue interference.
Woman is on the rise, under the watchful, approving gaze of
the=20
Goddess. This is for the benefit of all people. This is my
belief,=20
and if you believe as I do then you've got a sister in me.

Caitlin,
I respect your opinion...I don't know if you saw a previous
message I
wrote a while back, but I said I am on this mailing list to
learn more
about feminism, for a paper I am writing.
To everyone else,
I apologize if I offended anyone, over the weekend I
realized I may have
been rude in some of my comments. I hope to stay on this
mailing list
and contribute with the knowledge I know. I do stick to my
opinion
on some of the things I wrote, but some others
like...assuming people
sit by their computers all day, and believing everyone has
a mental
problem were not something I should have written.
To be honest, I have written a few things in the past, and
no one
responded, I figured if I wrote something offending, I was
sure to get a
response. I hope no one hates me...

I think all of you that consider themselves feminist should

It is women wanting the same rights as men.

Stop feeling sorry for yourselves, and go outside, away

David
David, I think it's not necessary to limit "feminism" to
one narrow meaning. Not all feminists
draw the line at equal rights, and that doesn't mean
they're not feminists. Personally, I
define feminism as living and looking at the world (my
life, other events) with a conscious
awareness of a woman's perspective and gender dynamics. It
happens that once you start looking
at gender as an "essential" quality, you can put together
very reasonable position that women
are superior in many ways. I don't think that entails
men-bashing, at least not necessarily,
and I for one would rather spend my energy on more
constructive, interesting endeavors than
detailing men's many failings.

feminists do, away from their computers?

Message-ID:
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
All I can think of when I read the recent rash of flaming
posts is that this
too shall pass. And I hope it does quickly for there is
tremendous heat but
very little light being generated. Perhaps I view the
subject with a lot
less interest in the abstract and much more emotion than
some of the
protagonists. I'm interested in how femsupremacy 'plays
out' in every day
life. Perhaps my interest is too narrow for this list but
I've read the SMC
Manifesto perhaps 50 times and each time learn a bit more
from that
inspirational tract. Priestess Laura's frequent essays are
instructive but I
appreciate even more the personal reflections on her
domestic situation and
those posted by others. Most recently, reading the Eden II
series available
from Compuserve's HSX-200 forum library, brings each of us
'back to basics'.
It all starts there - in one manifestation or another - to
those of us drawn
to femsupremacy.
Especially moving was the author's beautiful dedication of
a pivotal chapter
in the story to Priestess Laura. That goal is shared by
many!

tom. iwould not go as far as you,and find it difficult to
fully
understand the slave concept. i am an ardent admirer of
strong,personally autonomus women who are dominant in their
relationships. i am most comfortable with women who are
powerful both
physically and emotionally. i am attracted to very tall
well muscled
women that are in control but size is not as important as
attitude. it
is with great satisfaction that i have learned my
preferences not not so
unusual. talking with others of similar interest is
comforting,but this
slave thing is a little too far out for me. it is unsecure
men that
ridicule those women that are strong enough to stand up for
what they
believe,but just as guilty is the woman who is ashamed and
denies who
she is for fear of being ridiculed. i believe that with
physical
superiority comes emotional,not the reverse.---stan

mine, and no disrespect intended as I am one of you). You
realized that I
am trying to "discuss" ideas, not flame-bait.
Yes, I was fully aware the Coyote Sings first used the
term. What I
took exception to is to you posting in return _just_ your
return
remark. No comments. Just a reverse slam. I'll tell you
what other
posts I've had a problem with in the same vein which aren't
yours.
The guy who posted something to the effect of "you people
have mental
problems"...how very constructive. And there was the guy
who posted
about feminazis, who was obviously trying to flamebait. Why
have I
not posted specifically about them? So far they've only
done it
once. Repeatedly will get them warned then banned.
Another comment I was using as reference when I posted was
your bit
about "would you rather products were tested on you instead
of
animals?" that also seemed to me to be flamebaiting.
However, it was
mixed in with other stuff, so I wasn't going to say
anything at that
time until I saw how you continued. The problem is that you
vascillate between a disagreeable but discussion stance, to
an
actively hostile and baiting stance. The first is just
fine, if
everyone here agreed this would be a boring place. Actively
hostile
is borderline. Baiting is unacceptable, and repeated
baiting will get
someone removed. I obviously disagree that you never
flamebait, which
is what you seem to be trying to say.
Yes...to some of you, the questions I ask and the
situations I speak of will
leave a bad taste in your mouth; but they must be asked and
they must be
stated. Why? Becasue I will not go peacefully into that
long good night. I
will not accept "the big lie". Don't expect me to take what
you give me and
be thankfull that you acknowledged my existance.
When stated in a calm manner, it's discussion. When stated
in little
jabbing remarks, it's baiting. It's a fine line between the
two.
However, I don't recall personally saying that anyone has
to believe
what I say, or be thankful that I bothered to say anything
to them at
all.
I think part of the problem boils down to attitude. Enough
of what
you say is backed by some sort of "I'll never believe you
people and
you're just fooling yourselves that you could ever possibly
be right"
attitude. That is going to cause negative reactions to the
things you
say, even when you are simply trying to discuss, because
you don't
_present_ things like you're trying to discuss. And, it
really is
hard to understand why you'd even want to be on a list like
this,
except to hammer at the people here. You talk mostly about
how men
are the victims in society...why then would you be here
talking to
people who would want to empower women? You talk about how,
basically, slavery and submission are sick in a forum where
I don't
think I've ever met someone who wasn't into some form of
BDSM. That
doesn't make it wrong not to be into BDSM, but it means
that when you
tell a bunch of people that what you think they do and/or
enjoy is
sick, you're not going to get a lot of sympathy.
[I'm not going to respond to the part to Laura]
Dee-Ann: You, most of all, dissappointed me. I saw your
response to a post
that I had written and thought that you were someone I
could talk to and get
opinions from and give opinions to, without being judged. I
can see from
your later posts that this is not the case. It seems even
you wish to
silence anyone who would question authority or those who
wish to be in
authority.
Please show me exactly where you get this. I've gone back
over my own
posts and can't see where in the heck I said anything about
wanting to
silence people who questioned authority, or who wanted to
be in
authority. I tried to look for where I might have intimated
it, but
if I did I obviously missed it before, and missed it this
time as
well.
Considering I wrote my post on a system flooded with
requests to get
rid of you to the point that it was difficult to use, I
figure I wrote
a pretty good defense of your right to be here as long as
you stayed
within the "no baiting" rules. And, once again, your
response to
Coyote Sings' "dead ass" comment, from anyone who had come
out of the
blue to say that, would have at _least_ made me stop and
consider
posting a warning.
Your words hurt the most and cut the deepest. I have no
wish to
try and change the minds of anyone on this mail group (MG);
and never did.
Well, that's good to hear, considering wandering into a
group
dedicated to a philosophy and trying to convert everyone to
another
one isn't generally a productive way to spend one's time.
:)
I was attempting, (poorly at first, but I had hoped to get
better) to
present situations to readers that WILL come up in the real
world. I wanted
to read their responses (hopfully mature responses) so that
I could judge
for myself the ideas and concepts of femal supremecy.
You'll learn better how people think and feel if you're not
constantly
attacking their views. Putting people on the defensive
doesn't make
for the best discussions. And, yes, your method of
discussion can
often come off as attacking, regardless of what you mean by
it.
As the moderator of
this MG I was most suprised by your lack of an apology or
acknowledgement
that I was not the person responsible for the "offending"
words.
This is one thing I've been meaning to comment on. This is
not fully
a _moderated_ mailing list. If it were a moderated mailing
list,
every single post would have to go to me first. Then, if I
felt it
was acceptable, I would send it along. No thanks...if
anything, I
don't have the _time_ for that. And, that would IMO just
stifle
discussions. The only way in which this list is moderated
is that
there are set guidelines (no flames, no flamebaiting). If
someone
insists on repeatedly crossing those lines (I try to give
leeway for
accidents). You have a way of constantly dancing a little
too close,
and have a few times perhaps danced a little too far, so my
comment
was intended as a caution (as they always are).
So, basically, I did not apologize because I knew perfectly
well that
Coyote Sings was the first one who used the phrase. His
usage was at
least an attempt at making a point and went with the rest
of his
post. Yours was simply thrown out there as a reverse
slap...and "he
started it" IMO isn't valid. If it had been done in some
sort of
context, it would have possibly been acceptable. Possibly.
As Laura is
not the moderator I can not expect her to read every bit of
mail that is
sent; but you should be reading them and you should have
seen Coyoty's mail
admitting responsibility. Yet, you said nothing.
I don't fully read everything. I'm not fully a moderator, I
don't
have to. Trust me, if someone is posting things that people
feel
strongly are "offensive" to the list, I hear about them in
personal
e-mail people send to me, or mail to the list
administrator. He was
admitting to "starting it." I saw that. I made note of it
before I
made my post. I considered commenting in response to his
post, I
chose not to.
I had respect for both of you, and in a way I suppose I
always will; but
much of that respect has been diminished and not likely to
every be
recovered. Neither of you may even care what I think or
feel, (as you seem
to have made plain in your posts) but assuming this even
gets sent out with
the rest of the mail to the world at large, someone out
there will read this
and care. Am I bitter? No. Dissappointed...Yes. But not
bitter. I was hoping
that I might actually learn something here about female
supremecy and in a
way I guess I have; but not what I was hoping to learn.
How can you expect to learn about something when you spend
your time
attacking the people who could tell you about it? Asking
well thought
out questions works much better as an information-seeking
tool than
just kind of arguing with people.
From this post on, I will do little more than lurk in the
background. I
might send private messages to people who's ideas and
opinions I find
interesting and their response or lack thereof will tell me
what I need to
know. If any of you consider this as flame-bait or attempt
to goad me into
responding to hatefull words, forget it. I will definately
not respond
either in mail or in public.
That is your choice, of course. If anyone tries to
flamebait at you,
they will be warned as well. It goes both ways. This is, of
course,
on the list. I have no jurisdiction over what happens in
e-mail,
unless someone uses this list just to get a list of people
to
privately harass.
I do wish a special thank you to those of you who
understood that I was not
arguing for or against the ideas presented here but instead
trying to
promote discusion. You understood, and for that I am
greatfull. Thank You.
I still believe that you must take part of the
responsibility
yourself, in that if you mean to simply discuss, and are
coming on as
argumentative, it is _your_ responsibility to study your
own
discussion style and adapt. Or, if you truly feel folks
overreact...well, perhaps they're not people who for one
reason or
another you want to talk to. But, generally, I find that
things are a
2 way street and rarely is there only one person or side to
blame.

I think all of you that consider themselves feminist should
look up in
the dictionary what the meaning is...
It isn't women bashing men, and feeling they should have
the power.
It is women wanting the same rights as men.
If you people don't get the right meaning, this revolution

No argument there. Who are the "you" people to whom you are

Well, I don't think that *you* have a firm grasp of the
distinction
between _female supremacy_ and _feminism_. This is a female
supremacy
mail list, not a feminist mail list, so if female
supremacists are in
the majority here, you shouldn't be surprised. Some
feminists are also
female supremacists, many are not. Why don't you do a
little homework,

David,
Your assumption that people on this list are doing nothing
other than
sitting on their butts in front of a computer screen is
offensive.
For all we know, you are doing nothing more.
In recent posts, Laura has described what she is doing to
further Female
Supremacism and to defend sexual and social freedom so that
the climate is
less hostile toward FS ideas.
Dee-Ann is clearly putting in a lot of time moderating this
list (more than
usual lately, it would appear).
Others on this list have talked about what they are doing
and have
offered suggestions for others.
I myself have been active in my local pansexual BDSM group
(the Black Rose
in Washington, DC) since its inception nearly 9 years ago
and have made
assisted in social/educational FemDom activities as time
has permitted.
To answer your question, this list might be considered
feminist because FS
and feminism have common short-term goals. However, female
supremacists
tend to want to take the idea of female empowerment farther
than many
feminists. How much farther is a valid topic for debate on
this list.
I fear you may have wandered in cyberspace to somewhere
where you are
not comfortable. Please feel free to ask *polite*
questions.

Hmmm. You're trying to learn more, you say, with no dislike
of the 'topic'
here, but to learn "why people think the way they do" here.
Your attitude,
however, makes it sound like rather like a scientist
attempt to "learn" why
a healthy cell sometimes goes cancerous - like there's
something "sick" in
the way the people here think.
Now, I don't post much here on the list.... Perhaps,
because I'm "doing
something with (my) life", and hence busy, without as much
time for writing
as I might wish for. After all, I might be too busy
collecting rifles and
ammunition, bomb parts, and information to blackmail
important politicians
and military personel into supporting the female supremacy
revolution. A
very male approach to achieving things, but then, I'm a
male.
And, speaking of spending their life on a computer, and
viewing reality as
if through a monitor.... You found the list by looking up
feminist on
Netscape, hence, it _must_ be a feminist mailing list. Now,
how ever in
the world might something on a computer be less than 100%
accurate? Such
a thing could never be! This mail list doesn't maintain
those net search
engine databases, and isn't responsible for whatever it
might be filed
under. Though, perhaps, just perhaps, it's there because
someone thought
it might be of interest to those looking up feminist
information, even if
not truly a feminist list?
Even if you're not hostile towards this list, and the
people who subscribe
to it, your words are, regardless of the message. Like
Mark, you should
probably reexamine your communications skills, -if- you
feel you're just
misunderstood here.
For example, presuming your message was that people needed
to do something
more than just talk on the mail list, you could've said
something in a
different, a nonhostile, tone :
In the interest of actually furthering the precepts of a
more matriarchal
government, can anyone tell me of how they're doing things
off this list?
Supporting the campaigns of good, female political
candidates, or even
male candidates who might be helpful, who are less heavily
into the "old
Boys Club"? Writing their representatives to remind them of
the term limit
clause in their "Contract With America", which might be one
way of leveling
the playing field and possibly letting more women in? If we
don't start
doing something outside this mail list, how is there going
to be a change?
(My regrets for the American-centric flavor of the above)
No, what I wrote
isn't great, isn't likely to rouse people to do something
actively. Then
again, it didn't take a huge amount of time or effort, and
is only meant as
an example of how not to insinuate that everyone here is a
keyboard potato.

To address a question from another poster on how to keep

gets really
quiet is share articles I run across which have relevance

Can this really be? Is this a discussion anymore? I really
was interested in
female supremacy topics. But if people who want to explain
it are no longer
willing to explain it ... how do you want to get people to
understand your
point
of view? You say that research is done...may I say that I
doubt that your
arguments are the only ones existing on this topic?
No, no one ever said Laura's arguments are the only ones.
Nor are
Dee-Ann's,
or Coyote Sings', etc., etc. Opinions will vary, and often
do :-). If you
have other
evidence or argument, present it. But don't expect those
who respond to
your posts to argue with themselves, and present evidence
opposite to their
views. That is just plain silly. They are giving
you_their_point of view. You
decide whether or not to accept it. But if you don't,
should they then say
Supremacy
is a joke, and we should disband!!!
You don't want explanations, you want to be convinced, and
convinced
using your own evidence on top of it. And that is not the
purpose of this
list.
I never wanted to say that females are worse than males.
And I believe that
there are many things in the way of female thinking and
living that are good
and
perhaps better than in males. And I believe that there are
many reasons for
female supremacy in a relationship. But I also think that
this should not be
seen dogmatically.
Then don't look at it dogmatically. Start in the only place
any of us can
now,
in your own life, in your own relationships. Help to build
a new vision of
the
world. Nothing we discuss here will happen tomorrow. You
will not wake up
under a Woman's whip unless you and She want it that way.
And none of us
can change that.
If women are so perfect and males are so unworthy, why in
the world should
it
be
useful for women to rule men? It would be unnecessary (or
unintelligent) for
women to dominate a society where one half of the
population is not worth to
think about, let alone to discuss with. Then it would be
enough to
concentrate
the discussion on "female" topics.
Funny, for hundreds of years men found it quite useful to
rule a society in
which the Female population (BTW, more than half by most
counts) had no
vote or meaningful input.
I don't believe I have ever seen anyone advocate total
disregard for the male
point of view here either. What is usually advocated is
that Women should
decide matters, but that male input be given consideration.
Laura's essay
on gynosupremacy is quite eloquent on the need for _mutual_
respect in
relationships. Anything else, frankly, is just entering
into a realm of
fantasy.
I must say that a style of discussion where on part is too
arrogant to
explain
his (or Her) wishes, ideas and thoughts to others,
increases my doubts in
female
supremacy - at least in a political way. If you don't want
to answer
"degenerated" mails, then don't. This is no reason to
unsubscribe. But if it
is
no longer allowed to make critical remarks on this topic on
the femsupremacy
list (this reminds me of a very bad time in history over
here in Germany), I
will unsubscribe.

I believe Laura has already given the topic of comparisons

I keep seeing calls for more positive discussion, but I

work hard not to remove people simply because of their

Being presented with opposing opinions on occasion is one
way of
making us re-evaluate our own beliefs, and is healthy as

I agree with this. I mainly lurk here, so take my comments

intention of promoting
discussion. Many of us don't like the direction of that
discussion, but if
nothing else he has rejuvinated what had been for quite
some time
a_very_quiet list.
Remember, discussions happen because someone starts them.
You want to
have a positive discussion, start one. Throw out some topic
ideas.
I also want to address the idea of "explaining Female
Supremacy." One
problem with explaining it...there isn't a central
"doctrine" for FS.
We can discuss what it means to us, but no one can (or
should) say,
"this is how it is, this is how it should work, do it this
way."
These are, of course, my opinions. :) And, well, after
you've stated
your position on something time and time again, it gets
plain old
having to restate it. Perhaps some folks would like to
write up how
they approach FS and we can put it in an archive for people
who come
later to access.
A great idea. If I remember correctly, (and I am sure
someone will remind me
if I don't :))
this recent spate of activity was spurred by a newbie
wanting information,
and being referred to The Gothic Tower as an example of a
femsupreme society.
Maybe some of this 'ornery discussion' could be avoided if
we had more
archive items to refer such people to, and could reduce our
reliance on 'hot'
fiction items as sources of vision. Laura's fine essay on
gynosupremacy would
be a good primer, if she would be willing. It would help
newcomers to realize
that there are more possibilities in this lifestyle than
slaves cowering in a
corner.
While on the subject of new people, while I want to be
supportive of and
welcoming to anyone who is sincerely interested in this
list, one of_my_pet
peeves about this list is that it often degenerates (for
long periods) to
nothing but a newbie announcing his (usually) presence,

Laura and a few others welcoming them, following which they
are never heard

more discussion,
and less of these incessant
feels like we are boarding a plane and listening to the
stews say Hi.
My suggestion is this. Those who are believers in FS should
certainly
not unsubscribe. Some folks on this list, however, may want
to
re-analyze why they are here. If you're just here to stir
up trouble,
you're not going to last much longer. If you're here to try
to
discuss and learn, you'll get much better responses by
approaching
people with a better attitude.

Statistics are inherently unreliable and very prone to
manipulation
and spin-doctoring. Take all such 'evidence' (no matter
which side
presents it) with a certain grain of salt.
Don't discount important data. Much labor has been done and
many risks
have been taken and many have devoted and even risked their
lives to
bring the truth. Don't say, "You can't trust all statistics
and
interpretations thereof, so don't trust any." That's a
dangerous
fallacy which legitimizes passivity, timidity and mental
sloth.
That phrase 'important data' bugs me. Allow me to explain.
Data in and
of itself is seldom of great importance, it's what actions
are taken
based on the input of said data. A list of names and
addresses, say,
Sarah Connor, is by itself relatively mundane. Feed that
list to, oh,
say, a post-holocaust time-travelling cyborg, on the other
hand, and well...
My feeling isn't so much that statistics are wrong and
shouldn't be
trusted. Perhaps I should have been more clear. My
statement was meant
to convey that statistics alone *cannot* be an entire
argument - merely
one of many tools which must go into an effective argument.
Too often I see/hear groups using statistics as their only
(or major)
vehicle. This is dangerous and gravely misleading. On "Meet
The
Depressed" last month, for example, they had some
Christian-coalition
affiliate going off at length about the number of teen
homicides in
relationship to the number of churches in urban areas, or
some such
nonsense (i usually tune those shows out rather quickly, so
my memory
falters).
It goes back to the ancient human condition, the 'two
party' mentality.
Those for and those against (whatever). Surveys can be
slanted,
information misconstrued. People can go out and find the
information
which suits their viewpoints and ignore or completely
discount that which
doesn't fit their ideas.
Consider the example of the college freshwoman, newly
indoctrinated into
the ideals of feminism, will go to the library, do a
surface skim on
statistics on, say, domestic violence, and come away armed
with
statistics (another bogus stat here), say, that once every
3 seconds a
woman is killed by her husband, or something of the sort.
She digests
this information, extrapolating that ALL men are to be
feared as domestic
abusers when, in fact, MOST men never fall into that
behavior pattern.
She sees what she wants in statistics and looks no further.
Therein lies
the danger.
(Side note to maintain a semblance of PC stature here...
The female
example chosen above could just as easily have been
applied, say, to the
18 year old male Young Republican, or whomever...)
My point (yes, there is one) is that statistics can be
tools, but
recognize them for what they are. Don't give them too much
credit, for
very seldom do they tell the entire tale. If the matter
interests you,
do yourself a favor and look into it.

Right, so do I, and that's why I promote and defend it so
tirelessly.
I think the issue of women taking over the world is a false
one, or
it's premature. First, let's secure some areas where the
femdom life
can be lived, and considered normal. This alone will be
challenge
enough.
There is a growing restlessness in the world regarding
gender roles and
human rights, including sexual rights. Also, the issue of
religious
freedom is heating up. The issue of individual's rights vs.
society's
rightful demands has been on the table for some time. Out
of this
ferment, the issue of our right to live the way we prefer
to must be
settled to our satisfaction. Remember, rights are not
granted by the
oppressor, they are won in struggle and maintained with
vigilance,
generation after generation. Asking "will you please" will
not do it.
Women and their supporters must organize, and must be
willing to look
ugly and get dirty. We can't be timid, squeamish, or
thin-skinned.
So, no, I don't expect men to simply roll over and let
women take their
proper place on the world stage. I expect they will fight
it. I
expect they will call us all bitches and crazy. Don't wear
you best
clothes to the revolution.
Submissive femdom men can expect to be called traitors,
faggots,
stupid, lazy and crazy. There will be days you will wish
you'd stayed
in bed. So understand that the enemy will not make it easy
for us.
Women need heroes. Femdom men must strengthen their bodies
and
resolve.

Hear Hear! If we abandon statistics we give up on one way
of discerning
the truth among the static. The trick is to distinguish
between a
relevant statistic and an irrelevant one.
IMO, the ability to tell the difference between a valid
argument and a
specious one is a skill which improves with practice. A
good way to
practice this is to dissect advertising.
For example, if your TV set tells you that the new Ford
RoadHog is the
best selling midsize American four-door sedan for under
$20,000, it's a
pretty good guess that the new Ford RoadHog is the *only*
midsize American
four-door sedan for under $20,000. This is an example of an
irrelevant
(or nearly irrelevant) statistic.
The reason I bring this up is that people who are working
against us
(like those in the US Congress who voted for the
Communications Decency
Act) constantly spout misleading garbage. We would do well
to arm

When I checked my mail I recieved some most disterbing
letters. First there
was Laura telling me what a louse I was for being the
author of a dirogitory
remark. Added to this was Dee-Ann (who I rather respected)
giving me a
warning about my inappropriate remarks. Many more of you
added your two
cents hear and there. I read ALL of the messages before I
started writing
this so that I would have most of (if not all) of the
opinions here.
I wish to thank Coyote Sings for comming forward and saying
that it was he
who first used the offending term. Taking responsibilty for
that, especially
after the way I was treated, showed a lot of guts and my
respect for you has
taken several giant steps upwards. I would also like to
express my
sincerest appreciation and thanks to several "lurkers"
(your words, not
mine, and no disrespect intended as I am one of you). You
realized that I
am trying to "discuss" ideas, not flame-bait.
Yes...to some of you, the questions I ask and the
situations I speak of will
leave a bad taste in your mouth; but they must be asked and
they must be
stated. Why? Becasue I will not go peacefully into that
long good night. I
will not accept "the big lie". Don't expect me to take what
you give me and
be thankfull that you acknowledged my existance.
Laura: I have read what you posted and suddenly realize why
you never did
come back with some sort of apology or even acknowledgment
of the fact that
I was not initially responsible for the "offending" words.
I am not a part
of your world in any way shape or form. I would not and do
not respect
someone who thought themselves my slave in or out of bed
nor would I expect
you to respect me if I came to you on my knees begging to
be your slave.
Slaves have earned no respect and probably don't deserve
any. But this is
of course beside the point. That is your life and I have no
right, nor do I
intend, to try to change you from it. I do find your point
of view
interesting; and I would like very much to hear more of
your philosphy. I am
