BTB QUOTE:
"Who are these women?" I asked. "Where do they come from?"
"Some were doubtless once slaves," said Ute. "Others were once free women. Perhaps they did not care for matches arranged by their parents. Perhaps they did not care for the ways of their cities with respect to women. Who knows? In many cities a free woman may not even leave her dwelling without the permission of a male guardian or member of her family." Ute smiled up at me. "In many cities a slave girl is more free to come and go, and be happy, than a free woman."

  1. I see no contradiction in the quote you posted. Ute is just explaining to Elinor what panther girls are, why FW, caring for their reputation, modesty, safety and their family honor, have finally a freedom that is rather limited. Unlike kajirae who have no family, no honor and no modesty to care for.

    Else, I have an interesting quote for you:
    "Buttons, interestingly, were a relatively recent innovation in some Gorean slavewear. They are not used on the garments of free persons."
    Slave Girl of Gor

    It's a lovely outfit, but please, don't introduce it as a FW's garment. It is not. Collar bones are visible, no veil (even FW of low caste, in the books, do veil themselves in public, it's about pride, modesty and for their own safety. In fact, books said that a low station and bold FW might not veil to catch a slaver's attention with her beauty, for the purpose of being collared, hoping she will have an easier life). FW's clothes don't reveal their curves neither and should I mention that nail varnish is unknown on Gor. And of course, the buttons...
    These limitations are deeply part of the Gorean culture, they underline the contrast, the gap separating the FW and the kajira.

  2. The quote wasnt the point of a contradiction, but a mention of the author himself who writes contradictions. And I know buttons are not of BTB gor.. But this.. BTB is not in Second Life.. :P So... with that logical being said, some leeway is given.

    And as far as your opinion is, I respect it, but I do not agree completely. As there are other quotes of free woman wearing garments cut below the knees. So, in fact, the very dress of the Free woman, is not only Veils, high gowns, and no skin.. Just a majority.. I too will refresh with a BTB quote.

    Showing a lot more than collar bones:
    "Lara stood beside me, clad as a free woman but not in the Robes of Concealment. She had shortened and trimmed one of the gracious Gorean garments, cutting it to the length of her knees and cutting away the sleeves so that they fell only to her elbows. It was a bright yellow and she had belted it with a scarlet sash. Her feet wore plain sandals of red leather. About her shoulders, at my suggestion, she had wrapped a cloak of heavy wool.
    Outlaw of Gor Book 2 Page 211"

    Showing Arms:The free woman was a tall woman, large. She wore a great cape of fur, of white sea-sleen, thrown back to reveal the whiteness of her arms. Her kirtle was of the finest wool of Ar, dyed scarlet, with black trimmings. She wore two broaches, both carved of the horn of a kailiauk, mounted in gold. At her waist she wore a jeweled scabbard, protruding from which I saw the ornamented, twisted blade of a Turian dagger; free women of Torvaldsland commonly carry a knife; at her belt too, hung her scissors, and a ring of many keys, indicating that her hall contained many chests or doors; her hair was worn high, wrapped about a comb, matching the broaches, of the horn of kailiauk ; the fact that her hair was worn dressed indicated that she stood in companionship; the number of her keys, together with the scissors, indicated that she was mistress of a great house. She had gray eyes; her hair was dark; her face was cold and harsh.
    Marauders of Gor Book 9 Page 156

    The veil is not a MUST
    The veil, it might be noted, is not legally imperative for a free woman; it is rather a matter of modesty and custom. Some low-class, uncompanioned, free girls do not wear veils. Similarly certain bold free women neglect the veil. Neglect of the veil is not a crime in Gorean cities, though in some it is deemed a brazen and scandalous omission.
    . . .
    In some cities, and among some groups and tribes, it might be mentioned, though this is not common, veils may be for most practical purposes unknown, even among free women. The cities of Gor are numerous and pluralistic. Each has its own history, customs and traditions. On the whole, however, Gorean culture prescribes the veil for free women.
    Slave Girl of Gor Book 11 Pages 107 - 108

    Jacket and Skirt:
    She wore a full, beige skirt, the hem of which fell to within some six inches of the ground, and slim, high, black-leather boots; a beige blouse, and a beige jacket, belted, which fell to her thighs; too, she wore a loose hood, attached to the jacket by hooks, of matching beige material, and an opaque veil, also of beige material. Such garments, far less formal than the common attire of the Gorean free woman, are sometimes worn by rich women in the supervision and inspection of certain sorts of holdings, such as orchards, fields, ranches and vineyards. They constitute, for such women, so to speak, a habit for work.
    Fighting Slave of Gor Book 14 Page 232

    Clothes for thought:
    Many free women, for example, and some men, concerned with respect to their appearance, do not care to limit their wardrobes as narrowly as their castes might seem to recommend.
    Mariners of Gor Book 30 Page 504

    So.. Have an open mind. :)

    1. Oh and one more thing..

      The veil is not as necessary as you are instructed.. I put some quotes that contradict your statements.

      "It is not unknown for some women of the lower castes to slacken, or omit, veils," said Lita.
      Plunder of Gor Book 34 Page 201

      The women of rence growers, when in their own marshes, do not veil themselves, as is common among Gorean women, particularly of the cities. Moreover, they are quite capable of cutting rence, preparing it, hunting for their own food and, on the whole, of existing, if they wish it, by themselves. There are few tasks of the rence communities which they cannot perform as well as men. Their intelligence, and the work of their hands, is needed by the small communities. Accordingly they suffer little inhibition in the matters of speaking out and expressing themselves.
      Raiders of Gor Book 6 Pages 18 - 19

    2. Oh and on Nail colour.. :

      I regarded her. Her small feet were on the lower, rounded crosspiece. Her toenails were not painted, of course. Such is almost unheard of among Gorean free women and is rare even among slaves. The usual Gorean position on the matter is that toenails and fingernails are not, say, red by nature and thus should not be made to appear as if they were. They also tend to frown on the dyeing of hair. On the other hand, the ornamentation, and adornment, of slaves by means such as jewelry, cosmetics, for example, lipstick and eye shadow, perfume, and such, is common, particularly in the evening. Also, to be sure, her fingernails and toenails might be painted. As she is a domestic animal, she may be adorned in any way one pleases.
