Very good point about the Domme as a fantasy...I just saw one of those "block your TV from your kids" ads with 'Mistress Mandy' and make kind of a cute reference about her program being very wonderful (says the wife). It's a nice reference to women appreciating the world as much (and more) than the men...I liked it anyway.
I wonder...because I see far fewer Dommes than the culture portrays...does that mean that we make up for the 'lack' with more cultural icons? Or that the culture overshadows the true Dommes who exist elsewhere?
