BDSM & feminism
» BDSM
I'll confess to sometimes feeling some Maledom/femsub relationship echo uncomfortably, almost parody all the bad old stereotypes of heterosexual marriages. And Femdom/malesub strapon scenarios have often struck me as sexist. But then again I've never been in either emotional space.
Glenna Grimsley, using her pseudonym Mistress Simone, and Jarith Bailey have an interesting perspective on how bondage, dominance, sadism, and masochism (BDSM) relate to the feminist effort. Bailey has been a slave to a male master for four years, while Simone is a professional dominatrix who has kept female slaves with her husband for 10 years.
