I've Been So Mistreated By Male Authority In My Life That I Had A Terrible Time In My Marriage Trying To Be A Submissive Wife. I Wanted To Rule The Roost In Everything. And It Wasn't Even Really That I Was Rebellious; I Was Afraid Of Being Hurt. And I Think That A Lot Of People That Choose These Alternative Lifestyles, I Think It's Because They've Been Hurt Somewhere Along The Line Very Badly.
