Remember when you were a child and your mother and father would tell you to say please and thank you when you wanted something? To say excuse me if you wanted to interrupt a conversation.
Have we forgotten our manners here at The Cage?
Subs bash doms, doms try to intimidate subs, and more often than not there is never please or thank you. Often orders are to be followed without an established relationship.
I have found in my own relem that kindness and honesty are key when meeting new people. "I am fine today, thank you for asking." "No I am sorry I am not interested, but thank you for the message." It is hard to be mean to someone who is nice and kind.
I am not a doormat and I will not be disrespected but I can still be strong and kind.
Dig deep within yourselves and please remember your manners.
Love and kindness can cure the world!
