>> No.3314479

>>3314470

Yes, actually. Her work is incredibly empowering to a feminist notion of cultural capital, she's utilizing her sexual agency in a provocative and transgressive way. That most would find what she does degrading is an example of outdated social mores, the kind of cultural taboo that restricts women from engaging in an open society. I love it.

Certainly, when done under consensus. Many females fantasize about being dominated by men. Acting out this fantasy can be sexually liberating to both parties.

Telling a woman that she doesn't have the agency to act out such a fantasy or support it is enormously demeaning.

Restricting agency with regard to reproductive rights given the state of cultural dialogue is fundamentally more violent to the emancipation of women than allowing freedom to make sexual decisions that are personally gratifying. You can't limit sexual freedom based on a positing of social mores, it's far too important to rely on such a shaky scale. What we can do is try to bring about a change in that dialogue where we see it is necessarily harmful to an emancipation of women on a larger scale, not just where we choose or find personally important
