I have a question regarding a personal matter and would ask for advice. If your [there are a bunch of scribbles here, obfuscating a word] teacher brings you to a place where there are women who are expected to behave in a certain way, is this normal?

Dictated forever

[onlyanapple]

If the women are getting paid for their behaviour and are doing it of their own choice, then yes.

written forever

[eaglet]

I did not ask. So it is their choice in the matter that dictates normalcy?

[onlyanapple]

Well, it's normal for women to be forced into it, too, but it's not pleasant.

[eaglet]

I do not disagree on that point. But it is normal for a teacher to bring a student to women like this?

[onlyanapple]

Well, what sort of things is he teaching you?

[eaglet]

[uhhhHHHHHhhh how to say without giving his identity away...]

Combat.

[onlyanapple]

Ah.

Then yeah, that can happen. It relieves tension before a battle and all that.

[eaglet]

There was no battle.

[onlyanapple]

...Ah. Just for fun, then?

[eaglet]

For "bonding." [Apparently...]

[onlyanapple]

Sounds like a damn good bonding experience to me.

[eaglet]

It was extremely awkward.

[onlyanapple]

You'll get better at it.

[eaglet]

You make it sound as though I do not have a choice.

[onlyanapple]

Well, you can always say 'no', I suppose. If you want to be boring.

[eaglet]

That is somewhat judgemental.

[onlyanapple]

Yes, I do tend to be judgemental at times. You got me.

[eaglet]

[The sound of a pen tapping on paper... he's not really sure what to make of that response.]

Why?

[onlyanapple]

I've lived for a long time and feel I've earned the right.

[eaglet]

If you have lived for a long time, then you should know that a person's freedom is the most important thing. This includes the freedom to make decisions as they wish.

[onlyanapple]

Oh of course, freedom's an important thing. But people will always judge the choices you make. Just the way the world works.

[eaglet]

It should not be.

[onlyanapple]

Question is, do you think you're the one to change it?

[eaglet]

Perhaps so. But if I am not, I am confident those that come after me will succeed.

[onlyanapple]

Humanity is good at that.
