While reading another Submissive's blog I noticed that she was discussing feminism, and whether feminism had any place within a BDSM relationship.
The way I see it is that Feminism means that a woman has the right to choose what she does with her life, and how she does it. That is all. Feminism is the ability to choose, not a proscribed set of choices.
A feminst can be a housewife, a slave, or a submissive. And I believe that forcing a woman into making a choice that does not suit her, her needs, or her circumstances in the name of feminism is rather defeating the purpose.
I have a need within myself to bend to anothers will. I am happiest when bustling around my home cooking and cleaning and looking after people. I want to have children and to stay at home and raise them.
I also consider myself a feminist, and I believe that my femaleness does not make me lesser than my husband. I believe that I am lesser than my husband, I believe that he is more intelligent and capable than me (except when it comes to paying bills, grr), and I believe that he should decide what our future is. I believe these things because of my flaws, and his strengths. Not because he is male, and I am female.
Does this make sense?
