Oh, you are just brainwashed

I was actually told this by an acquaintance tonight. This girl is a member of several different lifestyle groups and has been around the lifestyle for a number of years. She knows, or should know by now, that there are many, many levels of submission and slavehood within the lifestyle. She should also know that many of us enjoy talking to other members of the lifestyle because we are talking to someone who is nonjudgemental, someone who won't try to convince us to leave our spouse or get out of our relationship when some vanillas might.

So, I was chatting with her online and I said something to her about the need to check with Master before agreeing to go out somewhere for a submissive's lunch out. Since this girl is a fellow sub, she should know and understand that I would have to clear activities like this with Master. Well, when I told her before making plans, or running it by the group leaders, or posting in the groups, I needed to run several different dates by Master, and that I wanted to wait until He was feeling better since He has a very bad cold right now. Now, this girl who is now a single woman, having been released only a few weeks ago, had the nerve to balk at me saying I had to ask Master.

She seriously thinks I am brainwashed because I ask Master for permission. Did she expect that I would stop needing permission just because I was making plans with a single submissive? Did she seriously think that telling me Master has brainwashed me would cause me to forgo permission? She seemed very bitter, very hurt by her release, and just suddenly expects someone like me, who has a very strong and very true slave's heart, to just ignore Master's protocol because she is single?

She is the one who caused her own release. She did not like the rules her Dominant had set, so, instead of asking for her Dominant to make the rules more clear (which I know this Dominant would have done if asked, instead of allowing the submissive to fail because she didn't understand), she ignored the rules. Because she ignored the rules, her Dominant decided not to waste time any longer with a submissive who would not speak up when she needed to, who would not ask questions, and the Dominant released her.

So, this girl is not very bitter, and has decided to tell me that Master has brainwashed me? Because I am still going to obey His rules and His wishes? I filled this girl in on a little hint, that I would check my plans out with Master even in a vanilla marriage, lol, so how is that brainwashed? Because I think like a slave?

Uh, duh! I have a very strong, very natural, very dedicated true slave's heart, its how I am, its what I am, and its how I do things, I can't change how I am, and I can't change what I am. If that makes me brainwashed, well, so be it, I guess I am brainwashed.
