I think that's a self-imposed perspective.
Switches seem to think it too, but that may be mostly the male switches.
What that tells me there is still some feelings of guilt about wanting to be in the submissive role. But the women who feel guilty about giving up on feminism, learn there is room to be both, and get over it. Submissive men should take that as a lesson.
And as far as being "freakish", well, let me tell you, that in the real world, the most despised people are the "abusers" and to the vanillas, that translates to the dominant males.
Any of us can say "woe is me." But it isn't very attractive. I suspect that male subs who just keep posting and presenting themselves will get all the attention they can handle from the dommes they're looking for. It just takes time.
I was on the forum for well over a year, with thousands of posts, before I started making the connections I wanted. It just takes patience and persistance.
