A Rant of My Own

Readers ask why my Lulu stuff is not available through Amazon and other commercial channels.  (When I publish on Lulu I deliberately choose not to obtain an ISBN to specifically preclude such sales.) Well, to explain see below. While surfing Goodreads (which I do from time to time to get a feel for what people are reading and get a flavor for author's writing styles) I came across this review of 'The Predator', a Female Dominant story I wrote many years ago.

A reviewer named 'Zofia' not only panned the story, she took the time to rant with a 900+ word lecture.

She should not be reading my stuff. And if she does not enjoy non consensual D/s she should put the story down and move onward... not lecturing.

To me it's like reading a murder mystery and, in a state of shock about the macabre, writing a scathing review because someone in the story gets killed. 

A simpler solution... don't read murder mysteries! 

BTW, 'The Predator' takes place in the 1800's, and what some of the Indian tribes did to captured settlers is documented history. 

So 'Zofia', a warning, Chris Bellows stories rarely have what you would consider to be a HEA. And consensual D/s?.. try finding a 'consensual' murder mystery.

I BOUGHT this book because of the rating given on this site, and it was simply quite… AWFUL. I honestly have no idea who could be rating these so-called femdom ‘books’ and, giving them a high rating but don't write a review, is it friends of the author? One has to wonder – but it really needs to be stopped. These so called novels need to have a forewarning and re-labelling/labelling “written by enthusiastic MISANDRY minded people” and come with a warning that the male characters are mutilated without their consent by women who thoroughly enjoyed prolonging their pain by slowly cutting them and changing their sex by removing these guys genitalia and, without any aesthetic I might add – it’s not BDSM book it’s horror story from start to finish written from I can only describe as a very disturbed mind.

There is no genuine compassionate/affectionate bond between both parties; it is a totally one-sided relationship were the ‘slave’ can be disposed of without a care in the world when the dominatrix has got bored or wants a ‘new toy/pet’. I always thought the meaning of a Dom or Dominatrix was a person, male or female who has ‘the power or control’ over his or her partner in a sexual relationship. Because a true Dom or Dominatrix has been entrusted by the sub or slave to ensure that everything they devise for their partner or participant will give them the sexual liberation they need and, not be handled with a Dominatrix that is a severely deep-seated misandristic and, has a total revulsion for their partner/participants sexual needs or orientation.
I enjoy reading and, have read many, many BDSM novels, and out of all the femdom ones, I have to say, sadly, that out of all of them, I have only read, probably 2 genuinely good femdom novels to date. In both those novels the lead protagonists ACTUALLY like men! Can you believe that? Actually having a preference for the opposite sex and THEY ARE NOT MISANDRISTIC minded women in the slightest. Yes, they were in control of their men but that's the whole point isn't it when being the Dominant? Being a Dominant means one has to be able control oneself first, to be able to control of not going too far and, to be always aware, and of how far to push their sub. They don't want to mutilate/remove the parts they enjoyed putting through paces, with the usual teasing/tormenting etc. Seriously, what would be the point of removing that part? That’s all part and parcel of the collective. Otherwise they might as well just cut to the chase and have a relationship with a woman as that’s what their ultimate preference for is, isn’t it?
One has to concluded from what these particular femdoms writers is, THEY ACTUALLY ARE MISANDRISTIC because for a Dominatrix whose only mind set is to enthusiastically, gleefully, scheme, plot ways to lure and entrap a trusting, subservient man with the sole intent to turn him in to a woman without his forewarned knowledge and to find the whole process thrilling to destroy a mans body and mind, well, there must be something wrong ‘upstairs’ for that Dominant, and FYI? If a bloke wanted to be a woman he'd go see his doc and get the ball rolling & be COUNSELLED FOR AGES to make sure that's what they really want.
Reading some of these novels by these so-called femdoms, one SERIOUSLY wonders if they themselves need counselling. It is quite clear that they write with total abandon about the systematic, sometimes fast, sometimes slow but ALWAYS excruciating painful, permanent, irreversible removal of their genitalia like they’ve just done other women and the guy a massive favour.
In this particular book, a very young man (going by the admission of the main female character in the storyline description when he was captured by the lead character and changed by someone who was training to be a doctor in the past that, when he was still little more boy than a young man) has his dick stitched/welded to his stomach and his balls removed! You’ve got to wonder what kind of a person could write about doing that to a kid! What happens to the second young man is equally as bad if not worse and, I honestly can’t be bothered to mention it was nothing short of being described as sick. This is so NOT a femdom book, it’s more of a nightmare-horror story from a depraved mind. And, if any would-be submissives were, interested in to taking the next step into ‘becoming a slave’ previously read these horror stories going under the pretence name of femdom, they would change their minds. These types of femdom books should all be made to carry a warning for those under the misapprehension that these are real BDSM novels, and they should be labelled “warning, these books are written by MISANDRISTIC minded people” because the only feeling one has when reading this novel is the pure dislike the lead character has of men, in point of fact, she practically says as much, several times through the horror story. I am sure there are misandristic women out there that enjoy these types of novels and labelling them as such would probably help them in choosing a book for some light reading but personally, I know for sure I would not buy a book that was labelled ‘ideal for the MISANDRISTIC’, because if you’ll excuse the pun, it just doesn’t cut it for me. (less)
