I was going to post a comment but I think I may have to twist this to my own ends on my blog. <BR/><BR/>My take on submissive women isn't based on sexual relations, I write science fiction with very little romance but I still have characters who are submissive, but who I consider some of the strongest female characters I write. <BR/><BR/>I'll write more later and link back to you :o)Liana Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587774916354749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7697397085842677765.post-36123186537175858392008-10-08T23:56:00.000+01:002008-10-08T23:56:00.000+01:00Hi Brynn :)I'm sure you're right about the way a l...Hi Brynn :)<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you're right about the way a lot of people see submission, and female submission in particular - I've come across the same ideas myself. <BR/><BR/>I suppose it comes down to it just being another stereotype a lot of people like. It's almost as if one particular brach of feminism sees submissive women the same way misogynists have traditionally viewed all women. <BR/><BR/>*Goes off to think about that some more* :)Kim Darehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11086545242925686207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7697397085842677765.post-58289796408602410772008-10-08T23:13:00.000+01:002008-10-08T23:13:00.000+01:00Kim, I'm glad that my blog post provoked thought. ...Kim, I'm glad that my blog post provoked thought. Unfortunately feminism has become firmly entrenched with whether or not a woman can submit to or even like an alpha male. I can't tell you the number of times I've heard a woman say something to the effect of "I would never do that. It would demean me as a woman." Feminist beliefs are about being equal. Submitting is not equal--not on the surface. That makes it very difficult for an alpha male to exert his dominance without being lambasted and it makes it difficult for a woman to submit without being told she’d betraying women everywhere.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the extraordinary amount of work you've accomplished.Brynn Paulinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12026381921363611389noreply@blogger.com
