One Night with the Free Women of Port Kar

A Green Caste enters the Courtyard. “Lady, I hear you are looking for a Feminist in Gor!” So began an interesting and enlightening night in Port Kar.

Readers of the Herald, or those who just like seeing naked men, might remember Hanze Melnitz, Admiral of Port Kar, posing for Post Six Guy many months back. I recently returned to Gor and started to notice that the women far outnumbered the men and sometimes the Free Women outnumbered the slave girls. I decided to take a night off from my own role play and travel to Kar to talk to the Free Women there.

As I telepoted in the market, I was lucky to see both the Port Administrator Dark Starr and his Free Companion, or what would be on Earth a wife, Devyne Daligdig. I introduced myself and my paper and asked if I could talk to the women out of character about their experiences. I had to explain a few times how I wasn’t a centerfold photographer but rather just a journalist/editorialist.

I changed into some Free Women clothes and teleported down to the Docks of Kar. Seeing Kar reminded me of why some people take part in Gorean role play in SL. There were small details of seagulls and turnbuckles. Everything was designed to replicate the feeling of being on another similar world but by the sea, in this case, at the mouth of the River Thassa.

My reception in Kar also reminded me how people can be judged by their groups. Combining a few Gorean groups with my Feminist group and a female domination group conjured this image of myself as a man-hating lesbian. Add the fact that I was asking these women why they willingly covered their entire bodies, including a veil on their face, surrounded themselves with barely dressed, fawning girls who are referred to as sluts, knowing that they themselves could find themselves naked in a collar for certain infractions, and submitting to a variety of restrictions on their movements and actions and it was not the warmest of receptions. At one point, the Free Men sent me a picture showing them abusing innocent women.
