Poll If a female celebrity enslaved you.... (8 votes)
So apparently one OT user things this will happen in the near future that rich/powerful women will be allowed to enslave men. Technically the Constitution does permit states to allow slavery as a punishment for crime.
In any case rather than repeat his question as to which one you would choose to serve, I have a different question: If enslaved would you choose to be a house slave or a field one? Or would you want to be an overseer?
On the one hand the field slave has to do the hard work and is more expendable, but he enjoys a greater sense of solidarity with his fellow slaves and is in the master's presence left. The benefit of being a house slave is that you would get easier work and be treated better by the master, you'd probably get better food and living quarters too and you get to stay inside away from the hot sun, but the field slaves would resent you and consider you to be a sell out, so your social life wouldn't be much fun. Or would you want to be an overseer and be powerful but really unpopular among your fellow slaves?
