Surely there would be no such events unless there was a demand for them? It may not be everybody's cup of tea and some may feel excluded, but the fact remains that somebody thinks it's a good idea and have had the resolve to get off their arse and do something about it, rather than sit and talk about it. Jolly good luck to them I say. I think that diversity is a great thing and should be encouraged. Perversely that also includes having extremely specialised events, as well as events that are more broadly based. So long as there is a good mix of things going on across the board, then it's a great thing. Obviously there is more scope for such specialisation near large cities than in remote places like the Scottish Highlands, but that's simply to do with population density. At our parties, we favour a very broad approach. The activities reflect the interests of the guests that day and while there will usually be rather more domination of males by females, that's more to do with the ratios of people who turn up and their preferences. We also see plenty of males topping females, a certain amount of same sex domination, together with some great CDs and TGs who will adopt whatever role they wish. I'm always rather pleased to see how well they all co-exist. But I can also see why a themed event, such as where dominant women interrogate male subbies would not be practical if there was a bunch of dom guys there too. Talking of roles, it's always interesting to see how many people who are usually dominant will come to our parties and switch. Maybe the fact that we are both switches makes it more acceptable than would otherwise be the case, but the fact remains that there seems to be more switches than you would expect from what is said on IC.

Think this says far more about the open mindedness of said "dom" then really. To control another, you must control yourself. To own something, you must understand it. | ||

For high protocol female supremacy events male dominants are just breaking the sense of immersion. If you are a female dominant at an event such as a POW scenario, punishing and torturing men 'because all men are inferior to women' how do you explain the male dom? 'All men are weak pathetic creatures except for him over there' just doesnt carry the same effect! At high protocol themed events people can lose themselves for an extended period and believe in a different order, and for this to happen basic rules such as who is in charge need to be clear and consistent. | ||

And here is an excellent example of just why we prefer to have the events as strictly femdom .... women do appear more capable of keeping both feet in reality when planning and organising events

99.9% of the people who have dissed me for being switch, have been male doms. Why poison your liver when I could eat it for you? | ||

I have experienced rejection from some prospective submissive women because I like performing foot adoration (more often than not for women who are assertive or dominant). They perceive it to be a submissive act and so indicative, in their opinion, of a possible switch tendency. Subsequently, according to them, I can't be a twue Dom.

Let's not let that de-rail the thread, though. I think there should be space for both single orientation events, and well mixed up events too. I enjoy both. Why poison your liver when I could eat it for you? | ||

I really like this idea: | ||

Now that's interesting... I had always been under the impression that Pedestal was organised by women, for women - to find out that it's mainly men who plan it amazes me! Jahc99 made mention of future plans to organise a Femdom event in the West... I wonder if such an event, planned and organised by women - to include what they want rather than what men want the women to want, will be very different? "Truth is stranger than fiction." | ||

I am unsure why a male Dom would be interested in attending an event based on a premise of female goddess supremacy? I would certainly feel bemused personally but would promise not to giggle.. However, attending an event that was principally Domme/sub as a social guest and an equal would be a very pleasant evening I don't doubt. As ever with these type of threads I feel it is the individuals who make the evening , not the labels. There have been a few dommes on threads recently that have shown that they are just as capable of not understanding boundaries and respect as any wannabe Dom - John
