Why do many BDSM people look down on switches?

See! Either they whine or they claim superiority. So who're the insecure and who are the intolerant? Seems clear to me.

I'm not sure your viewpoint is so valid. I have never encountered problems in a switch/sub or switch/dom relationship, because respectful partners accomodate each other. As a switch I would not try to coerce a sub into topping me, or a dom into subbing for me.

I prefer to see it as an advantage - I'm versatile!

Also, on the whining front, I have never encountered a purist anti-switch either. =) Unless you are one?
