Elise Sutton
Naturally since female supremacist Elise Sutton is credited with creating the term any site dealing with Loving Female Authority must make reference to her.
Quite possibly Sutton is the most influential woman in the history of female domination. Her book Female Domination was the first widely available work on what is often called Femdom. (Though some would say that the best thing about the book is the Sardax cover.)
Sutton attempted to validate her espousal of female superiority through the use of anecdotes, sociological speculation and dubious bits of history. Aping scholarship without achieving it.
At the time of the books release Female Domination was a great awakening for many women (and a source of countless fantasies for even more men.) Commentary on her second book has remained skimpy.
Since many dominant women find her depictions of female domination and male submission not very loving her influence has waned in recent times. Works by Janet Hardy, Claudia Varrin and Midori - aside from authors of leather and general D/s texts - provide more appealing and useable examples of power exchange within romantic partnerships.

Elise sutton’s form of Domination is very shallow and stinks of a Caste System to Me. Anyone who was involved with her should unlearn most of what she teaches and start again to build a relationship worth having!

I’ve been on Her site and I agree with Her. I’d like to find a Wife like that, absolutely! Do I believe in Female Superiority? Laugh if you want, but yes, yes I do!! I’m anxious to submit to a strong, intelligent, beautiful Woman. It’s sure the way I was brought up.

I dunno I never read that, but I do like the title of this post.

Elise Sutton’s approach to bdsm has nothing to do with a loving, mutually fulfilling relationship. Her style is a way of trying to pass off greed and laziness as d/s. A d/s relationship is still a relationship. Relationships involve respect, compromise, and oh yeah, love. She shoves all that aside in favor of housework and protocol.

I disagree first of all that her book was the first widely available one on female domination. There have been several in print that I am aware of years before hers came out.
Second, I’d be surprised to see any evidence that it was a great awakening for many women. I think her site is primarily masturbation fuel for neurotic male submissives. Even a cursory consideration of her ideas on female supremacy contradict all objective sense of reality. Female domination websites are loaded with submissive men whining that they can’t find a woman to dominate them or that their partner doesn’t understand their needs. Even when they do get a partner to take a dominant role, they complain that “she’s not really into it.” That’s because most women want a man to be a man. Most women that do get involved in female domination are inwardly sighing and just trying to make their man happy.

I agree that it seems that Elise Sutton seems more geared to sub males fantasizing being controlled by a Dominant Woman than to Dommes themselves. I have dominant girlfriends who find many of her ideas unworkable in real life. I am glad she’s out there however, if at least to bring the subject more to the masses, as she is quite popular .
I voted for, or should i say spanked this post on http://www.fetspank.
Thanks! Great blog

Honestly, what is it about femdom sexuality that seems to make people feel qualified to speak on behalf of “most men” or “most women”?

The cartoon fantasy porn femdom pictures on her website says it all. She’s a caricature.

I am behind Her most of the way.What She has to say about establishing a Matriarchy and about sexuality are spot on.So She understands male sexuality.That does not mean that She panders to it.
Where we might differ is that She comes from a slightly conservative Christian beleif system which I find at odds with Her thoughts and espousing of a Matriarchal future and Female Led lifestyle.
