• A Prick thinks that submission is a weakness.

• A Dom understands that Dominance is a gift.

• A Prick thinks that Dominance is a right.

• A Dom takes pride in his girl, because he knows she is of value.

• A Prick takes pride in owning a girl, because he thinks he deserves it.

• A Dom tells his girl how proud he is of her when she does well, because he knows how hard she has worked.

• A Dom understands that the balance of D/s is ongoing work, needing constant tending from both sides.

• A Prick thinks that the work is done once the girl first accepts the collar.

• A Dom understands that a submissive might be smart, capable, strong, but chooses to give her power, her decisions and worries to her Sir because it allows her to be free.

• A Prick thinks that a submissive must be stupid and weak and unable to make decisions or think for herself, and he devalues her intelligence and self-will.
