I think 8th Floor would be much less interesting as a man, but gender roles and privilege are baked in with her relationship with 6th Floor.

She kind of reminds me of me in 2000 when I had full-on top's disease and thought I ruled the world. Thank god I had elder dommes, such as Simone Justice, Ilsa Strix, and Sabrina Belladonna, to put my feet back on the ground. I was exhausting.

I agree that the show is quite preachy, but the escalation of events makes it worthwhile. I could nitpick some inconsistencies, but I was so engrossed by the end I didn't care.
