Oh, I'm not 'on the scene' so to speak, largely because I'm too introvert and busy, but I've been around to a couple of events and just on places like Fetlife to have seen some male doms who kind of make the assumption that female dom(me)s are just playing at it because they haven't found a Real Man who can top them yet. Not everyone of course, but like any other subculture, sexism is still around.

Interestingly, you see it in reverse too, in the attitudes of some male subs who want to be dominated by women. The problem is, some of them don't want a real person but some kind of fantasy of leather clad dominatrix barbie that doms them exactly the way they want to be dommed. I had one male slave (so he called himself) I was briefly considering for domestic service keep texting me 'suggestions' of what I should be doing to him and telling him to do and what names I should be calling him etc. Wishes and negotiation is one thing, but the attitude that speaks of 'if you were a real domme, you'd be doing/behaving/looking like x' gets real old, real fast.
