This also marks the beginning of the FALL Femdom Limerick Contest and we will be accepting submission through the end of October.

(you can send them in any other way.....via Facebook, etc...but only those in Sl are eligible for actual prizes)

Target Women

I absolutely love the video series Target Women and highly recommend it. It is a hilarious and very clever look at the insulting way corporations market towards Us. The series is easy to find on YouTube (search Target Women). Enjoy!

The Femdom Network Back To School Event!

THE FEMDOM NETWORK BACK TO SCHOOL EVENT

September 18th -27th

The Femdom Network celebrates the traditional start of the school year by offering a series of educational events between September 18th and 27th. Visit all of the participating Femdoms for a variety of classes, seminars, and discussion groups that focus on various Femdom and D/s topics. See you out there!

I Don't Love Calling Men Stupid....But....

While I do see those that seem to enjoy cursing at, insulting, or otherwise verbally degrading men, that has never been my way. Why? The Sisterhood likes, wants and loves men that are NOT stupid, so an attempt is made to improve them, or at least inspire them to show greater effort. In other words, no laziness, no slowness and no stupidity. A worshiper who is any of those things is useless. (other 'femdom communities' seem to tolerate lazy worms, but I simply cannot) This is about the future, after all.

Why do I bring up this topic?
Because I have found some very stupid men lately.
It's partly because I use certain 'tests' to separate the truly worthless ones from the ones that might give pleasure.
One such test:
When a slave 'misbehaves' or does anything rude, stupid or unacceptable (even the best ones make mistakes now and then), I do not forgive them. Never. Forgiveness is not automatic process and thy must WORK to get back in favor. It's one reason I tell them that apologies are not accepted here, only explanations and fixes.
When a man 'messes up' bad enough to be banned from the city, I ban him. When he cries to come back and 'promises' to be better, I use my test:
1. The slave must do 3 things to get back in favor (I call them labors).
2. Here is the key, though. I will NEVER tell the slave what to do. The slave MUST give me a list of proposed labors he thinks I will like and accept. He must be 'creative' We negotiate over the list. If 3 are decided upon, he must then do all 3 BEFORE I un-ban him.
This test forces the man to create his own labors and tests his laziness.
Why should WE do the work to give orders, when the slave shoudl figure things out?
They will NOT get better unless they try!
Sadly, I am calling some men STUPID lately because some of them cannot think of 3 labors to even START this process. Thsi really separates the lazy from the ones with passion. And yes, a lazy man is never passionate enough!

Men are like Cats!

It occurred to me in a conversation with Kris today, and after reflection on the strange ways of men that seem to manifest almost daily, that we have been the victims of some really funny patriarchal propaganda for a long time. The notion that men are like dogs and somehow Women are like cats.......pure (though subtle) propaganda! How many do you see in the 'femdom' world referring to men as dogs, for example. (even dressing them up as dogs!) How many crazy similarities are drawn between Women and cats in pop culture?
Here is my thought..my BIG thought.
Men are like Cats!
Dogs, after all, are typically loyal above all else. They live to love. They are social. They are sensitive to the emotions, feelings and every nuance of those around them. THAT does not sound like men in any way! Men are not dogs at all!
But cats.....
Cats are only around as long as they are being 'fed'. (think about it) If they love, it is not particularly obvious beyond an occasional physical action (rubbing against you and moaning), They like to tear apart things that mean something to you, and they are solitary...NOT social. Men are cats!
Another myth and manipulation of the patriarchy....exposed!

Couples Photos- Summer Romance Ball

Hello A/all!
I had soooo much fun at the Femdom Network's Summer Romance Ball! Some of the lovely couples let me take photos of them, and they were patient with me, a new SL photographer. I hope they had as much fun having their photo taken as I did taking them.
Cheers, and...
See you at the next Femdom Network event!

Empty Profile? No Problem!

I want to share with anyone who is interested a fun little game I play called Empty Profile. I use this when a slave, for whatever reason, has an empty profile (in the About section) and has been inworld for more than 2 weeks. The way I see it (agree with me or not), a slave with an empty profile is expressing laziness, extreme boringness, immaturity, or worse yet, unable to express anything at all (does not bode well for emoting later on). When I see this, I always advise the slave to write SOMETHING. if they don't or won't, I offer to give them text to use until such time as they do it themselves. Amazingly, some of them go for it and use what I give them.
Here is what I give them to copy and paste. Feel free to modify this for your own use!! This has been the source of some great amusement for myself and others.

Goddess Gina (Ginette Pinazzo) told me to fill in my profile but I lacked the imagination to do it, so she made me write this. She is always right, of course. She is a Goddess from the center of the Universe. If you think this is funny, IM her and tell her so.

Future Femdom Opens, City, Site, Blog

Just a general announcement (hello friends of FemNet!) about the consolidation (finally!) of the various Future Femdom places into one 'femdom city' called (creatively) Future Femdom, a liberating environment that promotes and celebrates the 'New Wave' of femdom, a society where all men are bred to worship the Matriarchy. We have simple although very different rules here. (best to read them at the Landing Point)
Here is the actual SLURL:

A view over the dance floor

Yesterday's Femdom Network Romance Ball was a big success with the sim filled to overflowing for the whole event. Everyone looked fantastic and it was truly wonderful to see all of our members mingling and enjoying the lovely music provided by Lady Eloise Mureaux.

I heard many compliments about the decor which was designed and assembled by Lady Chantall Congrejo of The Velvet Attic. Thank you again Chantall for a fantastic job.

Many people also enjoyed the photos provided by Lady Tamar Silverstar of Alfheimr. It was a great service to offer to our guests.

I know the other members of The Femdom Network join me in thanking everyone who came out to celebrate with us last night. We all appreciate your support of the Femdom Community in Second Life.

See you at the next Femdom Network event!

Coming Up! The Femdom Network Summer Romance Ball

Pheonix Freedom Fund

This past week The Femdom Network banded together to help our sister and fellow Femdom Lady Pheonix Fulham of Rising Pheonixx. Lady Delores Beaumont put out the call:

Hello Friends

I am fundraising to raise enough lindens to buy a mobility scooter for a dear friend and well known Mistress in sl, her name is Pheonixx Fulham and she is the owner of the Pheonix Rising femdom sim. She is ill and has been unable to leave her home for a long time untill recently when a family member hired one of these scooters for a day, she was able to go out and do some shopping and would like to have one to use whenever she is able. If you would like to help us by placing a donation box or holding an event please let me know, the money will be held in a completely separate account so it can be inspected any time as to how it is used. Our target is 150, 000 Lindens

Thank you for your help

Delores Beaumont

Today it was announced that together the members of our Femdom organizations raised over 200 000 lindens for Pheonix's Freedom Fund, an amazing accomplishment in such a short period of time. Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts. Thank you also to Lady Delores for spearheading the fundraising, and our best wishes to Lady Pheonix for a speedy recovery!
