submission on vh1

I am probably the last person on earth to see the episode of So I Married... on VH1 that showcased a M/s couple (who were in a poly family) but I came across the link recently on fet and watched it on my computer.  It wasn't badly done in my estimation but like the few other media representations of M/s that I have seen it focused heavily on scening, protocol, and SSC. Also right at the beginning when the woman was defining what a slave was she was quick to emphasis the "strong woman who decides to submit" concept which is true for some people but I don't personally think is the definition of a slave, that is getting into individual personality inclinations. The show did do a good job in finding people who seemed genuinely happy with their lives and not someone for whom you would want to stage an intervention.

I can't imagine the amount of trepidation that goes into deciding to do something like that show since no matter how well you comport yourself and no matter what you say at the end of the day you are still at the mercy of editors and producers. Who knows what spin they want to put on things and what the final product is going to look like. You can only hope for the best and that is not the kind of stress that I would not be willing to take on personally.
