Miss Trecia notes a double standard that has often amused me to no end when reading guys responding to blog entries and forum posts by dominant women:
Another interesting phenomena: have you ever noticed the ratio of atta boys on posts/stories/captions/teases male to female? Sadly I have. I like, no LOVE, reading smart, sexy, and twisted shit and I have noticed too often that some of THE best shit goes unsung, if the author is male conversely if the hand that penned the piece was of female origin its BRILLIANT. I have read some jr high creative writing submissions that were praised and reviewed as the next Pulitzer Prize winning piece, because the body behind the keyboard is female. Thats fucked up and NOT inna good way. It doesnt help us – it can give us a false sense of skill and can make for lazy and self-indulgent preaching. If I write something good I wanna know the compliments I am getting are on my piece and not the mere presence of my pretty pink parts. I have often considered penning something as a dude and seeing what kinda response I get. I have heard some of my favorite online authors (male) threaten to assume female pennames.
Almost everything I have EVER posted (yes even some of the more boring and/or offensive stuff), has been received with some pleasant response. And I was very warmly received and widely supported when I made the decision to pop the bubble of My own creation. (see also: THE Unholy Trinity piece) I cannot express how much I respect and appreciate many of the contacts I have made here. I have made some lifelong friends. There are people that I have met here- that I feel more akin to people I know and have known for most My life. You people, know me better than my family because I share even the dark and dirty with you.
I can clearly see a double standard just in my short time so I think you’re right I know I’m a pretty good writer because I’ve been at it a while now. I’m also just a drunk old man who only recently saw his sub tendencies. But I do love the civil tone in the conversation of some sadistic people.
