In a curious coincidence, some people at the local dungeon were discussing Gorean last night. I was concentrating on watching my kitten get her claws into someone and make the poor girl bounce up and down, so I heard only bits of the conversation, but it was about the Gorean status and hierarchy.

I heard mentioned: self, free men, children, animals, slave women and slave men as all falling in different positions on a set hierarchy.

Would you possibly expand on that from your viewpoints?
