Oooohhh the type of comment that make me go "Grrrr"!!!!!!

Some subs may be "weak" just as some Doms may be "weak" and some prime ministers or presidents may be "weak". But to generalise is plain stupidity and/or ignorance. How much gut does it take to put your trust in someone else and say "okay – I'm in your hands now – dominate me"? That can be a very brave thing to do.

Here is the article on this subject in the "bible" I often mention http://www.seekers.org.uk/The%20Myth...%27missive.htm. An example paragraph from this is a well-known fact that you can find in loads of posts in these forums:

"submissive" does not equal "doormat". subs can be just as rowdy,opinionated, bullish, goofy, cruel and unpredictable as anyone else.

By the way (on a similar note) – a lot of female subs are also feminists – which is another oft-found misunderstanding: how can it be that a female putting herself into the hands of a male (for example) can be a feminist? The answer is that it is HER choice to do it, nobody has imposed that on her – she has chosen that lifestyle because that is what SHE wants to do. Therefore there is no conflict with feminism which maintains the precept that women have the right to choose for themselves.

Hoping this helps
