Florida woman not allowed to claim “Stand Your Ground” against abusive husband is freed

The most successful pirate in history was a Chinese prostitute. Cheng I Sao had an unbeatable fleet with 80,000 sailors, which was bigger than most countries’ navies, and the government eventually had to give up and offer her a truce. She retired with her loot, opened a gambling house, and later died, peacefully, a 69-year-old grandmother. Source Source 2 Source 3

Advice from a Dominant

Don’t let anyone tell you that you are inferior, because you are not. You have every right to experience your sexual desires as an equal. You just know your place is best suited under a Dominant’s guidance. It doesn’t mean you are less than. It does not mean you are weak. We simply know our places in this continuity of life.

Anyone who tries to tell you that they are the superior, the alpha, “master”, and you must automatically bow to them. Just laugh. Because they are nothing but a fraud.

True Dominant Men respect submissives. True Dominant Men nurture and care for submisisves.
