People compartmentalize this stuff while they're still learning about it.
Personally, I find the distinction to be an arbitrary one.
This is an article written by a person who's teaching herself(?) about what it means to be a sub versus a slave so that they don't cross a line they're afraid to cross, with some good points thrown in.
An article like this is written by a self-aware person, and self-aware people tend to think a lot, and therefore have a lot of wisdom to share.
As you get more and more experienced, these distinctions become more and more meaningless, and it instead becomes a part of who you are.
