One myth is:

All Dominant women are man hating bitches and Dominant men are woman hating bastards.


You've been reading magazines again. Seriously, the man/woman hating concept is more a product of BDSM media, and certain political agendas, than reality. There are many web sites that cater specifically to the woman or man as bitch/bastard and the slaves as helpless, and "forced against their will although they really want it", servants. While that may be a fantasy for some, it can be perceived as an all encompassing scene reality to many since the distinction between the two isn't made. The flip side of this myth is that submissives are weak willed doormats who allow themselves to be coerced into anything the dominates wants. This is another product of media, both BDSM and vanilla, where the sub is seen as victim, not consensual partner. Does all this mean that no one in the scene has ever been a man/women hater? No, but those people are quickly recognized as such and have very few, if any, play partners.

I've had a few Vanilla women actually tell me I'm weak minded because I'm a submissive. (That is so not true) biggest myth I've encountered thus far. People don't take the time to find out about BDSM and just come to conclusions that make absolutely no sense.
