On many message boards on the Internet we find messages from dominant women complaining that submissive men are a waste of time. One of the biggest complaints is that submissive men tend to, “top from the bottom”. Usually they are use to going to a
Dominatrix with a list of demands and the Dominatrix does whatever the man wants, because after all, he is the client and is paying for her time. Unfortunately these submissive men tend to do the same when they meet genuine Dominant Women and also demand that they act out their fantasies and then cannot understand it if the Women refuse to do this. So what can a woman do in a situation like this? The answer comes from modern
Dog training, modern
military training and modern
child rearing.
As all dog trainers tell you, you cannot train a dog properly unless you take the alpha position in your relationship with your dog. So if the man starts to make demands on how he wishes to be dominated, then the Dominant Woman can ask the obvious question, “who is the boss?” She then has to further explain what should be obvious, that in a relationship between a Dominant Woman and a submissive man, it is the Woman who tells the man what to do, and not the other way around. If the man then says, “I’m only explaining what I want”, then the woman has to patiently explain that in a relationship between a Dominant Woman and submissive man, it is all about what the Woman wants, not what the man wants. After all, if the man is demanding she act out his fantasies, he is not consider the fact that she might have her own fantasies, that she might want him to act out, for her.
It seems some men can accept this, but not all men. Many men can get very frightened when the Woman takes the relationship out of the realm of sexual fantasy and into reality. So why is this? I think for many men, the problem is that they are frightened by their own Femdom fantasies. They have fantasies of cruel and sadistic women who beat, torture and humiliate them, which may all right in a fantasy world, but not in the real world. So these fantasies might be acceptable when acted out with a Dominatrix, where they have an agreed “safe word”, so if it gets too much, he can say the magic word and the Dominatrix stops what she is doing to him. This means these fantasies are perfectly all right while the man is in control of the situation and can put a stop to it whenever he likes. But if he meets a Dominant Woman who says, “I’m the boss, and you do as I say,” then he has lost control of the relationship. So he starts to imagine what would happen if she was the tie him up and whip him without a safe word. This is why some men run away when a Dominant Woman asserts her authority and tells him that she is the boss. But he is not actually frightened of the Woman but his own fantasies about what she might do to him.
So the Dominant Women then has to explain to the man two things; that she is the boss, and that she is a caring and loving person. Now, this will be difficult for many men to understand, because they associate Dominance with cruelty and sadism, because they cannot imagine how a Dominant person can also be a loving and caring person.
This is very old fashion thinking. In the past, dog trainers did use to train dogs by beating them with a stick. In fact, some dog trainers of the past recommend that the trainer tie the dog up and beat it, when they first meet, to establish who is the boss and make the dog frightened of the trainer. This means that Femdom fantasies come directly from this type of thinking, of assuming that the alpha person in the relationship, has to establish their dominance through brutality. This is why many submissive men pay a dominatrix to spank, whip or torture him, as he assumes that dominance can only be established through force and violence.
In the 19
th century, children were once routinely beaten by their parents and school teachers. A favourite saying of the time was, “spare the rod and spoilt the child”. (See
"For Your Own Good: The roots of violence in child-rearing", by Alice Miller). Nowadays, school teachers and most parents no longer beat their children, and this is also true of dog training and military training. A modern dog trainer doesn’t beat their dogs to make them obedient and neither does the military. In the past soldiers were whipped to make them obedient but no modern army does this today, as more effective methods have been found to make soldiers obedient. So if a Dominant Woman doesn’t beat her submissive, how does she make him obey her?
Modern dog trainers and the modern military use methods like, persistence, repetition and positive reinforcement. These are the methods that have shown to be the most effective in controlling men’s behaviour.
When a soldier first joins the army, he is subjected to “
parade ground discipline”, where along with a number of other troops, he is indoctrinated into obey orders. To do this, he is put into a position where he is not allowed to move a muscle unless ordered to do so by the Sergeant Major. So he is given orders like, “attention”, “left turn”, right turn, “quick march”, even when he is marching the Sergeant Major is shouting at him, “left, right, left right” so he is even ordered how to march. The orders the Sergeant Major give are totally pointless, as he will order the soldiers to march up and down the parade ground, for no apparent reason. So why do the military do this to soldiers? The reason is to brainwash soldiers so completely into obeying orders, so that in battle, soldiers will obey orders without question. So even if ordered to charge a machine gun post, these men will obey the order without question. The same is also true of dog training. It is not enough to get a dog to obey the dog-trainer once, the dog-trainer will repeat the same command over and over again until the dog is so indoctrinated into obeying this order, it will do so automatically.
So a Dominant Woman can learn from this in her relationship with submissive men. At the beginning of this relationship it pays the women to be extremely bossy. She doesn’t have to shout at the man like a Sergeant Major, but it is a good idea to give him a lot of orders and expect him to give her instance obedience. It is also a good idea to give him meaningless orders like ordering him to walk to the top of the stairs and then walk down again, so he gets the idea of obeying without question. Now, some people will ask the question that, “if the man is obeying her, why does she need to keep on giving him orders?” The reason is that at first he is obeying her because he wants to do so, but later on in the relationship he may decide not to obey her and she will find there is nothing she can do about it. But he won’t find this so easy, if she makes a point of giving him a large number of orders at the beginning of the relationship, so she will have indoctrinated him into obeying her automatically. Then at a later stage of the relationship if he has any thoughts of defying her, he will find it hard to disobey her, because he has been brainwashed into obedience.
All humans are creatures of habit. Once habitual behaviour has been established within us, we find it difficult to break this habit. As pointed out before, the military gets soldiers into the habit of obeying orders so that if ordered to risk their lives and face enemy fire, they will do so without question. So if a Dominant Woman can get man into the habit of obeying her, this habit of behaviour can become so strong, that she will take on the mystique of, “she who must be obeyed”.
Dog training has more to teach Dominant Women into controlling men that just getting him to obey orders. What both dog trainers and child psychologists have discovered is that people can unwittingly train both children and dogs into anti-social behaviour without realising they are doing this. The same is true of Dominant Women who can unwittingly train a man to do the opposite to what she wants him to do.
What child psychologists have noticed is that with many parents, is if child is naughty, it gets a lot of attention, but if the child is good, then he or she gets ignored. The same is also true of dog owners who will ignore a dog that is behaving itself, but only give it attention if it doing something the dog owner doesn’t want it to do. To be fair, this is for most people normal behaviour, we tend to take notice of things that we don’t like and take for granted behaviour we do like. But by doing this, we can unintentionally train the people and animals we live with; to behave in way we don’t want them to behave. The reason being, is they are being rewards for bad behaviour by getting attention and being punished for good behaviour, by being ignored.
Both people and dogs are social animals, and children like their parents to socialize with them. So if children find that their parents only take notice of them when they misbehave, then they are encouraged to do this to get their parents attention. The same is also true of dogs, if their owners tend to only give them attention when they misbehave and it can also true of the relationship between a Dominant Woman and submissive male. If the man is being ignored when he is behaving as he should, but gets the Woman’s attention when he misbehaves, then he is encouraged to do things she doesn’t want him to do, so she will take notice of him. An extreme case of this happening, is when a Dominant Woman punishes the man by spanking him. This only works if the man doesn’t like being spanked, but if he finds spanking sexually exciting, then he will be encouraged to do something to annoy the Woman frequently, so he will be spanked. This might not be a problem if the woman enjoys spanking the man, but a big problem is she is only doing it to get him to do as he is told. As her efforts to make him behave properly is having the opposite effect.
Dog trainers and child psychologists speak about
positive reinforcement as means of controlling dogs and children. This method is the total opposite of the old fashion method of negative enforcements which means punishing an animal or person for doing something wrong. Positive reinforcement is about rewarding and encouraging people and animals to be well behaved.
So what is required is for parents to take notice when their children are behaving in ways they approve off and give them praise and encouragement, but to completely ignore them when they misbehave.
Modern dog trainers also use the same method in training dogs. Now, many people find this difficult to do, as they completely take for granted good behaviour in children and animals so they don’t notice it, but get upset over bad behaviour and focus their minds on this. So to reward and encourage good behaviour and ignore bad behaviour, means many people have to think in a completely different way.
This method works extremely well with dogs. Modern dog training is all about patience and keen observation. For instance if a dog trainer wants to train a dog to sit on command, she will trick it into sitting by holding a small piece of food in front of it and manoeuvre it until she gets the dog to sit. She will then give the command “sit” and praise the dog and give it the food, which dog trainers call a treat. The dog trainer has to be very clear in her behaviour that the dog will only get praise and the treat if it sits down. Then she will then repeat this again and again until the dog associates the command “sit” with sitting down. After this has been established, she will wean it off the treat, by only giving it the treat sometimes when she give the command to sit, until it will regularly sit on command without needing to reward it with food.
Now, some people will point out that children and men are not dogs and what works for dogs may not work for people. Certainly humans are far more complicated than what dogs are, but as
Behaviourist Psychologists have shown, animal training methods work just as well on humans as they do on animals.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/30/books/review/Leibovich.html, The USA military would agree with this, as they have used Behaviourist psychology on their soldiers with great success, and all the Behaviourist methods come from behaviour experiments on animals. The military reward their soldiers with medals and praise, like telling them, “you are the best soldiers in the world” and marching them in public parades, for people to cheer them. Certainly you cannot train a human being like a dog, by rewarding it with scraps of food, like dogs, but humans do respond to praise and approval, and these are the methods that modern child psychologists recommend for controlling children. So a Dominant Woman can increase her dominance over a man through positive reinforcement. She can do this by praising a man for how obedient he is when he does obey her and praise him when he successfully does tasks for her.
Modern child psychologists point out that what parents and teachers tell children can have both a positive or negative effect on them. For instance, if a parent or teacher tells a child repetitively he is stupid, his confidence in himself will be undermined so they he can quickly lose interest in school work. It is true for some people this can have the opposite effect and the child can get angry and being told he is stupid and this can motivate him to prove the parent or teacher is wrong, but most children are not like this. Scientific studies on human behaviour show us that praise and approval are the best tools for motivating people. So a parent or teacher that only tells children what they are doing wrong all the time, will quickly undermine their confidence in themselves.
This is equally true of a Dominant Woman’s behaviour to a submissive man. If at any time he doesn’t do as he is told or fails to serve her in the way she wants and she makes a big issue of this. She can unwittingly train him to be exactly the sort of person she doesn’t want him to be. If say a woman has a man who is obedient 99% of the time but sometimes doesn’t do as he is told, either because he misunderstood her, or was tired at the time, and if she makes a big fuss about the 1% of the time he is not obedient and tells him how disobedient he is, she can start to brainwash him into disobedience. We can understand how this works by looking at the advertising industry.
Most people like to think they are immune to advertising, as they cannot believe how the silly adverts they see, can possibly influence them, but they would be wrong. Big international companies do not spend billions of dollars on adverts for no reason whatsoever. They use adverts because they know they work. The secret of adverts is repetition. If we are repetitively told the same thing over and over again, we can be brainwashed into believing in it, without being aware of its subconscious effect on us.
Advertising.
So a Dominant Woman has to be very aware of what she habitually tells her submissive partner. If she starts complaining and tells him he is disobedient, then she will unsuspectingly brainwash him into being disobedient. If the woman wants him to be obedient all the time, then it helps a lot to tell the man everyday how obedient he is, when he does obey her, until he gets to believe it. The same is true for the way she wants him to serve her and do jobs for her. It is all right to correct him and show him how to serve her properly, but too much criticism will undermine him and brainwash him into believing that he is useless at serving her. Praise works far better than criticism, in getting a man to do a good job in serving a woman. So it is far more helpful to tell him when he is doing things right rather than when he is doing things wrong.
Now, some Dominant Women will object to this. They will point out that women have been doing this for centuries, of pandering to men’s egos to get their own way, while at the same time men have been criticising women to undermine their confidence. The reason men do this, is that if you undermine a person’s confidence, they are less likely to challenge your status as the alpha person in the relationship. So some women will want revenge and want to do the same to men. Some women want to take it even further, because men have been dominating women for thousands of years through violence and so some women want to do the same to men. The problem is that the average woman is smaller and physically weaker than the average man, so a woman can only get away with hitting a man if he doesn't hit her back. Which means a woman can only use violence against a man, if he is a masochist.
That is a personal choice, and if women want to get their own back by undermining men’s confidence and then use violence against him, then that is up to them. Men cannot complain about this, because this is what men have been doing to women for thousands of years.
But the point is, that history has shown that men do a terrible job in ruling our world, as male rulers create wars, genocide and poverty. So if women are to take over and rule instead, then women need to know the most effective methods of controlling men. The best methods come from modern dog-training, child care and the military, which use repetition and positive reinforcement, and women need to learn about this methods, to keep men under their control.
