  • I think the reason they corrected you is that usually when that phrase is used, it is referring to US “freedom of speech” where although the law protects you from being arrested or charged for your speech, you can still be ousted from a community or fired (consequences)

    However, in Canada, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms permits the government to enforce “reasonable” limited censoring of speech. So, in Canada, we do not have free speech in the same way because we can get arrested for hate speech.

    So there is a distinction here. I’m happy to clarify if any of my language was confusing, let me know if this explanation makes sense.

    Edit: also in Canada it is not called “freedom of speech”, it is called “freedom of expression”

    I know plenty of people like that, and I don’t think that’s wrong, that’s probably how we should think about that stuff lol. It should be difficult to be or pretend to be cruel to a person.

    Tbh I may be a bit fucked up, but it’s in a fun way, at least, lol. Results in some wires crossed and makes me want that kind of treatment, but in a context where the type and amount of treatment I receive is in my control, as a sub.

    So, the biiig reason I am capable of cruelty when in a dom position is that I understand how it feels as a sub to want to be on the receiving end of it, and how much it can actually help in a therapeutic sense when the proper before and after care is taken. So I guess what im saying is I can tell how much they want it, I can tell how much they enjoy it, and I would never dream of treating a person like that if they didn’t actively want it. Like I said in another comment, I enjoy when my partner is enjoying themself.

    Edit: Oh! I also wanted to add, gender power dynamics also play a huge role when dominating men, and a LOT of men like being degraded by women because it’s a response to a society that constantly teaches them to treat women like objects, yknow?

    That makes total sense! To be fair I’d only do degradation with the most trusted of partners because it needs to come from someone of whose opinion of me i am well aware. Most of the time I’m just a competitive brat hahaha

    Really love a switchy physical power dynamic where power shifts between both partners.

    The mind games and degradation are for a very specific type of itch, however (hint: it’s trauma).





  • This makes total sense!

    I met my partner on Tinder in 2014, 3 years before consolidation in 2017. When I was using it it was only a joint venture with Match Group

    I also had some success before 2014 on okcupid (initially owned by IAC which used to contain Match Group and has since separated from match group but Match group kept OkCupid) and POF (sold in 2015 to Match Group)

    Makes sense to me why I had a way different experience on dating websites back when I was single compared to my single friends now.
