(I'm also gonna put this here: This forum starts with sarcasm and leaves you to discuss bdsm. That's how I roll)
Just when you thought it was dead, that "Wacky" Sarkeesian lady (Who, because I haven't played Iko or Heard of any of her stuff before I have no opinion on) Sparks back up everyone talking about feminism, sexism and shit.
And seeing as how I'm inherently Hypocritical and a slave to trends I've decide to contribute to the problem with this thread, seeing as how no-one ever wants to talk about monkeys or non-anger inspiring stuff when they could be talking about the difference between a penis and a vagina and why one is better than the other. Congratulations people of the escapist, you've worn me down and I'm leaping onto the bandwagon with gusto.
Aaaaanywho, The topic I want to discuss is: The whole BDSM fetishism type thing. I've heard a lot about a book called 50 shades of gray, a book I am inherently terrified of reading because it started life as a twilight fan-fiction. Buuut, the content of this book is apparently largely sado-masochistic pornography, and, because my brain works in weird ways, It led me to question whether you can truly say the BDSM fetish is sexist or wrong in some other way, considering the fact it requires a lot of mutual trust and co-operation, and that as some people have claimed otherwise, the man is not always dominant.
However, a lot of statements claim that these sorts of actions are inherently sexist towards women, often objectifying them as toys or slaves to a mans whims or desires. But, Even in these situations where the women act submissively, consenting adults usually have to put a lot of trust in their partner to not hurt them too badly, or to any degree that takes away the enjoyment of the experience, and, everything is set in place by choice. So whilst you may not be into that sort of "exchange", Is it neccesarily a bad thing? It almost seems that these exchanges require a deeper and more trustibg relationship from the parties, due to the nature of being immobilised in such a way that your safety is completly in your partners hands. It's interesting to think about, in a kind of "Why the damn hell has this thought just popped into my head" kind of way. So yeah, discuss.
