Okay, I think I understand you!

I was referring to the fact that as an allegory it inappropriately assigns false notions about D/s,

Is it possible that the false notions are there as a result of D/s as we know it being warped and changed (in Helen's story) as a result of becoming an institutionally mandated culture rather than an individual sexual/lifestyle choice?

What are the false notions that are bothering you?
