oogenhand links an interesting piece by a radfem who worked as a dominatrix, who contends that BDSM is ‘misogynistic’.
I suppose the kind she was involved in might be classified thus, given her description of the types of activities she and her male clients were involved in…
But the other kind, wherein a man dominates a woman, usually is the exact opposite: a man pretends to dominate a woman, but the moment a woman says a ‘safe word’, has to stop whatever he’s doing, untie her, comfort her, whatever… Others have made the point that this amounts to ‘topping from the bottom’, as the man is never really independent; at a word, he is suddenly under the woman’s control; and therefore, it’s just ‘play-acting’, just ‘pretend’ domination of the woman by the man. If a woman really wanted to be dominated by a man, there would be no ‘safe word’, but that of course is unthinkable according to BDSM ‘orthodoxy’, you have to have one… (Funny how these sexual ‘liberationists’ have to have rules, eh?)
Frankly, that, and this radfem’s kind, just go to show that all BDSM is really, really messed up, regardless of which kind it is…

Since most modern sex is all about pretending to be in love anyway, what’s wrong with extending the hypocrisy to fetishes?
Talk about a screwed up society: you can’t even be a pervert without being politically correct about it! LOL
