It would seem that public expectations of behaviour and treatment of others, is not consistent.  We still have room in our hearts and minds for the ownership of others. I find that people have little trouble seeing a woman being paraded around on leash and collar, and acting like a piece of property.  I decided one day to load her into the trunk of the car, and did this quite deliberately after exiting the club and walking around the corner to our car, in full view of a small group of people talking on the corner.

This included about 5 guys and a couple of women, who had stopped as we walked by, and continued to watch the show.  She was as normal on locked leash and collar, and wearing a tight short skirt, and tight top, that clearly showed her breast bondage.  At this point she was walking as normal on very good heel about 1 step behind me. She looked down as she walked by, and did not make eye contact with anyone.  However, there was no indication of any concern in anyone's reaction, as we walked by, or even, as I opened the trunk and told her to get in. They watched in amusement, including the women. There was actually a giggle, when she exposed herself getting into the trunk (her well shaved vagina was very visible), which became a full laugh, when I swatted her ass, before she laid down in the trunk. When I stopped at the corner stop sign, one of the women asked me if I "rented or owned".  They were laughing harder when I said owned.  The clear expectation was that she was either a hooker, or slave.  Oddly enough though there was no concern with regards to either.  The only comment I got back was she seemed very well trained, and that was also from one of the women.  This comment of course led to a general laugh, and I was merely told, "well I am sure you will have fun", at which they all laughed again.   You could tell they were all amused at what they perceived to be her situation.  The tone in their voices made it clear that they expected her to be taken wherever, and used and abused.  The clear inference was that I would have fun, she might not.  However, this was really amusing, not worrisome.   

Clearly she had fallen into that space of other, that is not really a person. The interesting thing for me, is that this has always seemed to be the general reaction.  I have noted the same thing in the red light district with regards to the treatment of hookers by their pimps, except with her it was to a greater degree.  Fortunately, she herself is not troubled by this view of her, and has really allowed herself to fall into a very similar self perception, and is very happy being and being seen as my property, even seems to encourage others to view her that way.   I can happily swat her ass, pinch her nipples or even squeeze her bound breasts in public without any comment from others, even when her reaction is such that it clearly causes pain, because she acts like it is my right. I swat her ass regularly, and I have pinched her nipples many times in public, and even by accident in front of police a couple of times, and never received any negative feedback.  Given she acts like she is owned, they are happy to view her that way
