If a man showed up on a Club Dom set or in my studio in the days when I was still working and didn't walk through the door with respect, he'd be walking right back out of it.


I was bullied in grammar school by three girls a year older than me. I came home one day and finally told my Mom about it, saying, "I'm going to punch them in the nose." My Mom said, "No. A real man never hits a woman. Ignore them and walk away." I followed that advice, back then and always.
