I had a great time at DragonCon and I will no doubt be blogging about it very soon. I found myself catching up on the blogs I look over after being away for a few days and I was amused to see the insanity that is the radical feminist echo chamber hard at work.
It’s nice that they can take time out from attacking each other to stay the course on the core thing that brings them together – trying to fit the whole universe into their paranoid persecution fantasies.
Now of course that isn’t me laying S&M and other safeword requiring forms of sexuality out as some form of extra specially bad form os sexuality, they deal expressly with the fantasy of a power imbalance rather than an actual power imbalance, and when you get right down to, RandomBird could have used a safeword (or safe-frantic-gagging-noise or something). But that doesn’t mean that I turn a blind eye to the way dominatrixes and female subs both end up wearing corsets – that goes beyond the mere illusion of a power imbalance and starts to empower the patriarchy by stating that yes, while she’s a dom, she’s also dressed like a sub in a device that halves her lung capacity purely because she’s a woman, and of course a woman can’t just dominate without also being slighlty mangled by her clothing – you might as well imply that women are equal to men or something!
