Jan. 18th, 2004 03:06 amSo I was reading articles on HerCurve.com, under the "herself" section, and one of the opening lines to one of the essays hit me:
The female submissive isn't well thought of by certain segments of the feminist movement. Society has difficulty separating her potential for personal strength and independence from her sexuality. They assume a woman who would place herself at the hands of a dominant partner (male or female, but especially male) sexually, is urging the whole of womankind back into a subservient space through her example.
--The Perfect Girl
It's an interesting thought, one that I certainly agree with. There's a certain amount of hypocrisy inherent to the thought that a woman should be able to choose... but shouldn't be able to choose a life of submission. (This is, of course, only referring to the choice of submission, not coerced or otherwise forcibly obtained.)
I'm thinking that if it weren't 3 AM, I could expand on the thought some more.
( At this point I delve into a weird tangent on kink and sex toys. )
I'm starting to think my dream job is not being an author, or a psychologist, or a filmmaker (well, a certain type of filmmaking, maybe), but rather a sex columnist for a magazine. Or a magazine owner. A sex magazine owner.
If only I had the balls (?) for a real-world job. Idealism is for those who cannot stand reality! Like me.
