Rarius' View on Free Women |
|
The pride of the Free Women of his city is very important to the typical
Gorean warrior... in his mind, though the Free Women of other cities are
open game to be captured for sport or profit, the Free Women who share
his Home Stone are sacrosanct, aloof and virtuous creatures who are worthy
of constant respect and protection. These are, after all, the mothers,
daughters and sisters of both himself and his comrades, and are therefore
to be treasured and respected at all costs. The Gorean Free Woman is revered, honored and protected. After all, only a FW can bear and raise Free children, and continue the bloodlines of the Noble Rarius. The care and upbringing of this future generation of Gor also falls upon the Free Woman, and she carefully instills the values, honor code and manners which will influence the Rarius of tomorrow. |

The key trait a Gorean warrior expects to find in the Free Women of his
city is "virtuous." To the Gorean mind, any woman who possesses
the raw lust and submissive desire openly displayed by collared slavegirls
deserves to be one, and if a Free Woman's actions seem to suggest that
she either secretly or openly wishes to be enslaved, sooner or later she
will be called forth to disprove such accusations. Nevertheless, the honor
in which a true Free Woman is held is so great that normally several such
offenses must be committed before she is stripped and collared. A Free Woman will first be warned to abstain from slave-like behavior... if she continues to behave so, then to the mind of the Gorean male, and according to the rules of Gorean society, she is actively seeking enslavement. |

A Gorean Free Woman does not draw a weapon against another individual
unless she is under attack. Beware! According to his codes, to draw a
weapon against a member of the Warrior Caste is to place yourself within
his capture rights. This includes drawing weapons and placing them on
a table or displaying such objects in a threatening manner to others in
the room, without suitable provocation. |
