You have taken offence at your own words. I can't do anything about that but have told you that I didn't mean to offend. It's up to you how you deal with this information. judy

this particular argument doesnt really work, as most abusers are members of family i trusted my husband with the care of our daughter, why wouldnt i after being together for some 20+ years. At times he has also looked after friends children, there was never any question of his being a 'pervert' with a perversion that is not acceptable behaviour in our society. However, for whatever reason, he stepped over the line and became a 'sick pervert' and abused our daughter. I am not vanilla, I enjoy an alternative lifestyle that includes pervery I would agree with previous posters and prefer not to be called a pervert. It does I agree take on an entirely different connotation when scene members call each other... what we have perverts in the room... jonathan ross style to Manniq, but for the sake of not being put into the same camp of sick perverts outside of our little world, i would prefer an alternative. just my thoughts

Have to say, I fall into the "no, not pervert" camp here. Whats wrong with being kinksters? holds no majorly negative rammifications other than the normal with those who don't quite "get" us.
To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved. | |||||

No I did not take offence at my own words only what I perceived to be a misunderstanding of them....regarding my "right thats it ive had enough" comment..that unfortunately has become my opinion of the majority of members of this site.

purple will never work and neither will any other colour as we all keep bickering among ourselves....and in doing so ostracise new people. The idea of wearing purple was supposed to at least give a sense of belonging...and you wonder why new people dont post. | |||||

How about "Principled punishers prefer purple"???? I reality, the key thing is to wear purple and so self identify that way, and the "pervert" was just a nice bit of alliteration, but why do we have to call ourselves anything? By doing that, we are just handing the press a label that they will use and probably misuse. So, let's all wear purple and all know what it means and use the day to give out positive messages about bdsm, and in particular perhaps we should stress the safe, sane, consensual aspect. The BDSM symbol is a very good place to start that conversation and perhaps go onward from there. What we need to get across is that we are NOT dangerous people, we do things to and with each other just like anyone else, we just include things that others do not. And we do it in safe sane consensual way and we probably have more communication about it than most non-bdsm people do. Our power exchanges are negotiated and explicit, not hidden.
