Diary of a Kinky Librarian

Just came across this article on a fetlife chat board regarding feminism and submission. I think it makes some very interesting points about how chosen submission (because it turns you on) is an act of empowerment, but that bdsm when played out in mainstream culture (where the rules of safe, sane, consensual are not necessarily known) does run the risk of perpetuating rape culture. But yes, as I’ve said before, being a submissive is not contrary to being a feminist. And BDSM in and of itself is not responsible for perpetuating rape culture, just the misappropriation of it is.
