This article is a list of quotes from the Gor novelles referring to free women, their difference to slaves and their status and rights. This should help to clearify many missunderstandings about the role of a woman on Gor.
Hi Goreans
Lets just assume for this thread someone would be crazy enough to dump a serious amount of money into SL Gor. For fun, not for commercial reasons.

The idea of this article is to show you some examples of outfits that can be considered more or less authentic. That doesn’t mean that Goreans in John Normans mind looked exactly like this, but at least the most important elements are present.
This article will be continuously updated every time I see a Gorean in Second Life with a really ridiculous outfit. The idea is to show my readers what not to do, to learn from other peoples mistakes.
When i saw this on a “Gorean SIM” I was not sure of whether to laugh, cry or shout and scream about it:
I am reading the book “Tribesmen of Gor” at the moment. The reason is simple: Sheraka lives now in the Tahari. She is not of the tribe obviously but has been asked to help building this community with her skills in writing and education. As she has never been in the Tahari before, it does make sense to read what is the ultimate authority on the subject: John Normans Tribesmen of Gor.

In this article I present ten simple rules to follow if you want to play Gor in Second life.
When you go to any forum about Gor, especially the German ones, you will always find heated discussions about what is good role play and what is not.
Take the test:
- Tired of “Gor-evolved”?
- Sick of explaining Gor to ignorant idiots, who never did read a single one of the books and refuse to do so?
- Panther Girls raiding your City, became your very personal, number one griefing experience?
- Your blood starts boiling every time you see a woman in high heels on Gor?
- You have nothing left to say to biker style males, in rogue leather pants and tattoo covered bodies?
- You are woman, getting threatened by the man of your own Home Stone?
- You hate message birds from the buttom of your heart?
- You are a woman adoring mentally strong men, that dont need to tell anyone you how great they are?
- You are a man enjoying true slave fire without the princess factor?
- You only read profils for the fun of it, to laugh about silly limits?
If you can answer more then two questions with a rock solid yes, then its Tahari time for you . A compound of nine authentic gorean, by the books SIMs are waiting for you to discover real Gorean spirit as in “Tribesmen of Gor”

Here Link to a post on a public forum by the head slaver of Laura:
Sir Ari Blackthorne.
Ari invested hours of his time to investigate the matter. The post is the result of his studies. Well done Ari.
I decided to publish this here, because it is possibly the best writing I have ever seen about the subject and might help clearing up a very common miss conception about women on Gor.
Collaring FW More Difficult Than Most Think
So it basically says there is not a single instance in the books where woman got enslaved by a man of her own Home Stone. Even in severe cases of insulting him, damaging property and even beating him the woman was NEVER enslaved. Enslavement without trial is illegal, ALWAYS, no exceptions.
Instead a man had to defend a woman of his Home Stone. This making killing a woman of your Home Stone, an outright crime, no matter what the reason was.
Women where highly respected and men even stood up when a woman entered a room. They had the exact same legal rights as men and had full freedom of speech.
There was just one thing , that a woman on Gor did not do: warfare. Women in civilized Gor where not allowed to be warriors or mercenaries. Only exeptions where in non-civilized areas such as the Northern Forest, the Jungles and the Tahari.
