"Anyone who spends even a little time perusing the writings of submissive, or potentially submissive women within the online culture will find the same themes recurring. They are keen to express their interest in locating and developing a relationship with a dominant male, and in enjoying the sensual and sexual benefits of doing this successfully. But they are also adamant, to the point of cliché, that they will not accept behaviours which override their natural rights, or relationship arrangements which fail to take account of them. No one, in the time honoured phrase, wishes to be a “doormat”.
Most of these women are struggling with inadequate language and outmoded terms and descriptions, which carry unfortunate connotations linked to a pre-consensual past. What is sorely needed are forms of redescription, which successfully update people’s understanding of what these kinds of relationship now involve."
