Always nice to be reminded that I'm not the only one:

Oh, fascinating.

I note with some startlement that I have always been approached out of the blue (not in any formal scenes) by men who want to be dominated by a Dragon Lady (or so I presume, as they're asking without having engaged in any prior conversation, just in their visual assessment of me). I've never been approached that way with an expectation of Oriental Flower submissiveness. I now wonder what flagging I'm doing without being aware of it. (And I suspect that most non-East-Asian women do not have this experience.)
