Taming the Tongue

Some Words on a Lost Art


by Katie B.


We sometimes talk about the ways in which feminism in today's culture affects authentic submission, desensitizing females to their most natural, inherently feminine inclinations. But a little-discussed area shaped by our militantly equalist society is our speech. Though much effort is often made by both Master and girl to untangle the matted mess of the culturally influenced female mind—even while living a reality that most women of our day would mock and term (negatively) as "degrading" or abusive—somehow the speech of many submissive females still seems to slip through the cracks, unaltered. Often considered a small detail, speech is a subject many times overlooked for its simplicity, and in this a girl's tongue is often left to roam as freely as it pleases.

I have often found that the female tongue, both of the submissive female and non, is a sharp and poisonous instrument. From the same lips that sing our Masters' praises, also come disdain, contempt, and sarcasm toward the rest of the world. This is a disgrace and I would even go so far as to say that it's blasphemous.

You may think, sisters, that while you kiss your Master's feet, the rest of the world can kindly kiss your ass, but to believe so does not, in any way, honor your possessor. You are a reflection of his work, and in this world of varied communication, your words are often the only picture of it. It is through your words and the way you speak that impressions about your character—and ultimately, his—are formed.

The decorum used while speaking is very much a reflection of the condition of a female's heart, soul, and mind, and it is my opinion that many are living, breathing contradictions in this regard. While claiming to be tamed, many spit venom like a wild animal. But in any given circle, polite and meek-mannered females stand out because such behavior is most flattering to our sex. We must put this conflict between our minds and our mouths to an end and seek to tame our tongues, even if it means being muzzled.

There are many things on the road to true humility that disguise themselves as being completely harmless, but often are of extreme significance and a detriment to female submission. Speech is certainly no exception.

Let us look at sarcasm, for example. Sarcasm is commonly used in conversation, paraded as perfectly harmless, and it is particularly popular among females. While it does carry a little sting, sarcasm tends to be regarded as a witty or clever form of speech. A woman who wields it is praised for her quick wit and sophistication. The word sarcasm gets its root from the Greek word Sarkasmos, which means "To tear flesh." Merriam-Webster defines sarcasm as A sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain. The obvious intent behind the use of sarcasm is to "cut down" and humiliate those on the receiving end. So many men not only tolerate this behavior in their girls, but have even allowed it to mark them as well-spoken and intelligent.

In a society predicated upon blind equality, women are encouraged to seek and conquer, no matter their merits. Cynicism is upheld as a form of wisdom, and crassness fashioned as hip. Nonetheless, sarcasm, scorn, mockery and sneering are undesirable, unattractive, and inappropriate. Ladies, I urge you, listen closely to the words you speak and do not allow sarcasm to be a poison to those who hear you! It is unbecoming of you and disgraceful to the Men you serve. If there is flesh to be torn, let us leave it a task for the hands of our Masters, and let us hope that the flesh is ours so that we never forget our place.

Our time is better spent in listening and being attentive to the needs of those speaking. I think most of my sisters will find this idea rather hard to swallow, which only adds to the importance of stating it clearly. If you cannot submit even unto silence, then you have not submitted much at all.

Be kind and sincere in your responses when you do speak. Study etiquette and practice it; this will improve you as a servant and teach you a great deal about social and personal humility. You will be an honor to your Master in doing so. All females are improved by gentility and meekness. When you're given the privilege to speak freely, do so with care and do not forget decorum. If you allow your mouth to run away with you, it will not be long before the rest of you tries to follow. We were designed to be soft and pleasing creatures in all things, but social fashion often tells us that we must be something else. Protected by our Masters, we have no need for such hardness, so let us return to female gentility, to etiquette and decorum. Let our tongues be tamed and used only for pleasure and selfless service. Just as we would not brush our Masters' hair with the same brush we use to clean the toilet, neither should we use the same mouth to kiss, suck and serve that spews filth and disrespect to the rest of the world.
