The Professional Dominatrix: A Modern-Day Witch Hunt

Being a professional Dominatrix isn't just about latex, whips, or power play. It is also a way of life—one that constantly collides with social prejudice, moral judgment, and irrational fear of what people don't understand.
In many ways, society's current view of BDSM professionals resembles a witch hunt—just in a modern disguise.

Fear of the Unknown: The Same Game in a New Costume

Witch hunts of past centuries were built on one core principle: fear of the unknown.
Women who were intelligent, independent, and possessed knowledge—whether in healing, botany, or psychology—became targets.
They refused to conform to the dogmas of society. And that was unforgivable.

Today, women may no longer be burned at the stake—but the principle remains the same.
A woman who refuses to play the role of the obedient, humble being and instead embraces power becomes a threat.
Especially if her power includes sexuality—and particularly when that sexuality defies "norms".

That's when the voices of false morality rise—loud, judgmental, and ready to condemn.

Professional Dominatrices face this mechanism directly.
They don't fit traditional roles.
They are not "good girls."
They are not victims.
They are not submissive.
On the contrary—they are the ones holding control in their hands.
And that is something society finds hard to forgive.

Public Execution in the Digital Age

In the past, it only took an accusation of witchcraft, a spark of fear, and the mob would rise, screaming for a woman's death.
Today, we no longer build physical pyres.
Instead, we use modern tools: media attacks, online shaming, deplatforming, and hypocritical moralizing.

Many professional Dominatrices have become victims of so-called cancel culture—their social media accounts blocked without warning, their work demonized, and their livelihoods undermined by self-proclaimed moral crusaders and critics of the "issue."

But what is the greatest crime of professional Dominatrices?

Their mere existence.

"BDSM is perverted!"
"This isn't feminism—it's humiliation!"
"A woman shouldn't have power over a man, especially like this!"
"This isn't work—it's a sickness!"

These arguments are nothing more than the modern equivalent of shouting:

"Witch! Burn her!"

Double Standards and Social Hypocrisy

What's both interesting and frustrating is how differently society views power in men versus power in women.

• A man as a Dominant?
  Sexy, charismatic, an "alpha male."

• A woman as a Dominatrix?
  Disturbed. Deviant. A "crazy feminist" with something to prove.

This is no coincidence.
Society still struggles with the idea of a woman holding the reins.

And what's even worse?
It doesn't matter how she does it—ethically, professionally, with empathy, respect, and consensual dynamics.
It's enough that she steps outside the norm.

And that brings us to the heart of it all.

Why Is the Witch Hunt So Appealing?

Just like in the past, people today need an enemy.
And if no one offers them one, they'll make one up.

Professional Dominatrices are the perfect target:

• They're visible.

• They're different.

• They're misunderstood.

• They challenge traditional ideas of womanhood and power.

And most importantly—the majority of people know nothing about BDSM.
They don't understand it.
And they consciously refuse to try.

This creates the perfect conditions for one truth to take hold:

When humanity doesn't understand something, it becomes easier to demonize it.

How to Survive the Modern Witch Hunt?

Just like the witches of the past, today's professional Dominatrices must learn to survive in a hostile environment. And how?

Through education

Awareness is key. The more people understand that BDSM is not just about violence, the less room there is for prejudice.

Through cybersecurity

Anonymity and data protection are essential. In a world of digital witch hunts, privacy is a matter of safety.

Through community

Witches used to gather in circles to support one another. The BDSM community can do the same.

Through confidence

Witches weren't afraid of their power. Neither should Dominatrices be. The more we try to please moralists, the more power we place into their hands.

Conclusion: The Future Is in Our Hands

The witch hunt was never really about magic. It was always about control.
And today's attacks on professional Dominatrices are not about "morality."
They are about who gets to hold power—and who doesn't.

History has shown us that witches survived—because their strength was real.
And so too will Dominatrices.

Because being a professional Dominatrix is not a crime.
It is the natural ability to lead—and the art of taking control into your own hands.
And that cannot be burned away or erased so easily.
