For example, in the present case, a judge would be expected to decide whether or not the behaviors of the sort performed, for example, the seeming misrepresentation of caste, the baring of certain portions of the body, perhaps violating codes of decorum, the adoption of exciting habiliments, with the possible result of jeopardizing less attractively clad women, the gold carried, giving her a presumed advantage in mollifying captors, her refusal to have her hair shorn, this again perhaps comparatively jeopardizing other women, and such, constituted behavior for which the collar might be suitably imposed. - (Renegades of Gor, Chapter 21, Sentence #484)

It is almost always understood, of course, fortunately for women, and as I suppose the phrase itself makes clear, in the special legal sense of the phrase, as having to do with overt behavior rather than psychological predispositions and such. Many Goreans believe that all women are natural slaves, and thus, in a sense, are all eminently suitable for the collar. But even taken in the appropriate, legal behavioral sense the phrase is, as may well be imagined, subject to diverse interpretations. For example, in the present case, a judge would be expected to decide whether or not the behaviors of the sort performed, for example, the seeming misrepresentation of caste, the baring of certain portions of the body, perhaps violating codes of decorum, the adoption of exciting habiliments, with the possible result of jeopardizing less attractively clad women, the gold carried, giving her a presumed advantage in mollifying captors, her refusal to have her hair shorn, this again perhaps comparatively jeopardizing other women, and such, constituted behavior for which the collar might be suitably imposed. Also important, of course, at least in the eyes of some, might be her failures in the defense effort, her refusal to be shorn, contributing her hair for use as catapult cordage, in spite of the desperate need for such materials, and the fact that it was only after the imposition of a severe penalty for noncompliance that she accepted even a small duty in the siege. It was on the basis of considerations such as these, and perhaps cumulatively, taking into consideration their conjoint weight, that a determination might be made as to whether or not it was fitting that she be made a slave. Her begging for a Cosian collar but moments ago, and her open admission of the fittingness and rightness of her being collared, interestingly, would probably not be considered at all. - (Renegades of Gor, Chapter 21)
