M rs. Silk, who operates a Maid Training school in England, has been a friend of mine for some time. Her "school" is quite busy and not only is she employed full-time as a Mistress, she also has had to hire two other ladies to assist her in this training. Throughout our friendship, Mrs. Silk has sent me copies of her magazines, videos and countless letters. I have, on occasion, helped with a few projects and she has allowed me to reprint some of her articles in our newsletter.
Over time, I have tried to verbalize to Mrs. Silk what it is that makes me feel that her "Maid Training" does not appeal to me personally, although I would love one of the outfits. Recently, the words came to me that enable me to say what it is about this all that bothers me.
While Mrs. Silk and her co-mistresses all have a fondness for and understanding of men who crossdress, the "school" seems to operate upon a theme of humiliation and revenge, as opposed to feminization and love. A great many of the stories in Mrs. Silk's magazine revolve around the premise that a husband has been unpleasant to live with and, in an attempt to make him more tolerable, the wife decides that "John" will have to become "Joan." There is usually some sort of power that she has over him, such as financial, or some sort of blackmail.
