I am very grateful that i have found the other side, so to speak. I know that i am fortunate to have learned that there is a choice. I am fortunate to have(mostly)had my no's respected throughout my life. I couldn't say yes - if no weren't an option. <br /><br />The thing i was trying to say here is that i need to be careful to keep in my mind that i have been fortunate, i have been free to choose; that isn't true for many people. I'm not at all criticizing or questioning the lifestlye/kink/whatever you want to call it, or my choices within that. greengirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897315716330033528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865362691562112420.post-69298553213716729682013-03-16T12:24:56.308-04:002013-03-16T12:24:56.308-04:00You say "except for me" after "this...You say "except for me" after "this is absolutely how it ought to work, end of discussion. This is what i want my boys to understand as the only right way." <br /><br />While on a very surface level it might seem your choices run counter to societal dictates, I see no conflict here, because that IS how it worked for you. "that's what they've freely chosen", That "freely" is the key. I think perhaps the only thing your choices actually run counter to, when you examine them logically, is societal tastes. <br /><br />The only difference between you and Miss Cartoon is that where she said no, you said yes. You were able to choose to give up that power. You weren't coerced or forced, by any individual or societyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
