Often people ask me how to combine the topics of feminism, emancipation, submission and BDSM. It is a great contradiction; and whether SMers are actually against the movement of women for emancipation.
From my point of view, these things are in no way opposed to each other.
What it means to me when a woman decides to enjoy submission: Such a woman consciously chooses that she feels pleasure in it. She gives herself to a partner in full consciousness. She partially or temporarily renounces control of her life or body. In advance, she herself defined the limits and taboos within which she would like to move.
The dominant partner absorbs this, he satisfies her desires, even if he does this through his dominance, and it also serves his satisfaction. He can and is only allowed to move within the framework that she has given him. This framework is broad, it can contain a few taboos and many facets. Boundaries are expanded and new experiences are made. Ultimately, a submissive, submissive, or masochistic woman is in control, and she has decided to act with conviction and full awareness.
I explicitly apologize to all dominant people whose idea it is that they are in control that I take this illusion away from them. You don't have that control, it's yours. We have the honor and pleasure that she includes us in this part of her life, and we have a responsibility to use the rights that have been granted. But in the end we have to cancel if she revokes these rights, e.g. with her Safeword.
Feminism, emancipation and SM / BDSM go well together. I even believe that it is a development of feminism that women today can and may decide to give up their rights. You have the strength, the power and the power to decide what happens to your mind and body. This also includes being able to surrender these rights. That's what strong women do. They have the courage to give away their maturity and rights. The dominant partner should keep this in mind. Even if he dominates, he has a free person in front of him who has temporarily given him power that can be withdrawn from him at any time. It is a privilege that a woman puts so much trust in us. She has to be sure that this power is not being abused.
With these things in mind, submission is positive as long as it is within the agreed framework. I am dominant and feminist, for me there is no contradiction in this.
