		<description>Sigh. You can call it whatever you want, but the bottom line is that your mentality is the reason the article was written. To expose what MEN have labeled as &#039;feminine&quot; and &quot;masculine&quot;. You sound like a parrot. Men do not have a patent on strength, aggression, determination, focus, power, leadership or force. Neither do women have the patent on emotions, gentleness, caring, tenderness and understanding. Your thinking is so patriarchial though you try to couch it in big words and a cloth of being embarrassed by feminism. I know your game and it won&#039;t fly here. 

Men have intentionally given themselves the upper hand in all situations by labeling everything that has to do with power and control &quot;manly&quot; and things that have to do with weakness and powerlessness &quot;feminine.&quot; Well feminine can go suck butt. I refuse to portray myself as weak so some male that is weak and confused and lost can &#039;feel like a man&#039; by standing on my head. He needs to get it together and stand on his own BESIDE me. Because I will never stand behind him. Ever.</description>

		<description>i know this article was written 3 years ago, but I have to respond to feminist drivel which is acutely adolescent and immature. I’m almost embarrassed. And reading the comments from fellow (sorry, sister) feminists... well, it makes me wince.
 
It’s all a question of opposites and energy flow which you would know if you were versed in Tantra, or had any real relationships. The masculine is positive, power, force... the feminine is negative (in a polar sense), yielding and passivity. The submissive, or yielding, woman is a beautiful woman – not to be emotionally or physically abused, but to be loved. Weak men either abuse or want to be abused. The truly strong man is a noble man requiring a noble woman who understands herself and her sexuality.
 
And of course, it’s about human nature, something of which the adolescent feminist knows NOTHING. It amazes me how sterile feminist thought really is. The victim of feminist brainwashing is unwilling, or unable, to break into the real world - the world of human nature and common sense where grown-up women stop parroting feminist doctrine like brainless automatons and no longer suffer from Obsessive Gender-Studies Syndrome.</description>

		<description>Well then it isn&#039;t being a dominant in the relationship; it is being domineering, manipulative and abusive. And as for the BDSM lifestyle, it&#039;s not that different from vanilla- in fact many abusive men operate &#039;under&#039; BDSM to take advantage of female submissives all because they have a title called &quot;Sir&quot; or &quot;master&quot;. This is akin to Biblical teaching &quot;submit to me because God says so&quot; vs. &quot;submit to me because I am an experienced Master and you&#039;re a submissive and all submissives submit to all Masters&quot;.
At first I was personally baffled and angered by your &#039;anti-submission&#039; articles but then I reread them and learned that the key element here is that the female is not evaluating the man prior to getting into a relationship. In fact, the female may have a case of &#039;sub frenzy&#039; in which she is so anxious to be in a relationship she leaves all common sense (and intuition)behind.  So the female submitting to a weaker man is a bigger problem than just biblical indoctrination.</description>

		<description>LOL @ &quot;Women are powerful, smart, strong creatures, emotionally resilient, caring, and in touch with themselves and others emotionally.  Women are by far the stronger of the sexes in every way but physically; and if a woman weight trains, even that is a 50/50 proposition&quot;
 
You&#039;ve had rights for less then 100 years, and we chose to give them to you.  Stop bitching.</description>

		<description>We are not talking about a lifestyle that people BOTH WILLINGLY CHOOSE TO LIVE to enhance their sexual experience. That is not at all what I am talking about and you know it. The males I am talking about would not allow a female to choose to participate in BDSM, they would demand that she acquiesce to their desires because she is supposed to be submissive like God says, because she is a woman and he is the man. He will have no challenges to his authority because he is the man, dammit!

You are missing the entire point here. Hopefully now that I have explained it, you can go back and read the article with fresh eyes and ears, and better grasp the concepts.</description>

		<description>Question:

Where does BDSM go into on this?

Reading over comments, I&#039;m a little perturbed at the &#039;One way or the Other&#039; line of thought that seems to be so prevalent.

I have a happy, healthy relationship with my girlfriend. It&#039;s not perfect, but we&#039;ve worked together and have made great strides in our respective careers. Marriage is something of a topic beneath the surface, but that&#039;s a mox-nix. We may or may not.

But, asides the point really - We&#039;ve both made compromises in our personal lives. I quit smoking and cut out some (with hindsight) very bad &#039;friends&#039; whom I didn&#039;t need in my life.

I&#039;ve gotten her into dancing, made her go easy on the drinking and we&#039;ve both set up a regular work-out routine for the two of us.

Is the fact she&#039;s submitted or even compromised to some things I&#039;ve asked of her make her a submissive, spineless woman? I have to say, if you honestly believe that to be the case, you&#039;re going to sound a little radical.

Now, that&#039;s all just IRL, our personal and professional lives out in the day.

As for the bedroom? - She happens to have a kink for light bondage, whips, etc. Mild to Moderate BDSM. And a LOT of women (and even some men) happen to have this kink. They&#039;re all &#039;socialized&#039; brainless drones?

I&#039;ve only forced my GF into doing something she didn&#039;t want to do ONCE due to a mistake, I reconciled and made up for it soon afterwards and felt terrible about it.

Now, I&#039;d also ask you to take two seconds to go actually read up on BDSM - any experienced individual will tell you that it is the SUBMISSIVE who holds the power there, they&#039;re the ones who have the power to say NO. To hold the safe word and whether they even wish to partake in it or NOT.

Judging from some of the other comments I&#039;ve seen on this. - I&#039;d get the idea you all think I&#039;m some sort of serial rapist. At least some individuals would gleefully jump to that conclusion.

Just oei.

Speaking for myself at least, I keep my Bedroom and Professional life private. My girlfriend is able to make her own decisions, and we work together on harder things. (I.E. - One of our larger discussions in marriage (or NOT) is that her company offers a better health package than mine.)

Blagh. - Anyways, Yes I&#039;d agree there are some weak, spineless men out there who pretty much want the fictionalized &#039;Yes maid.&#039; - Have you watched Hentai or other such things? Good god, they start taking that shit as a fact.

The only other thing I&#039;d ask is that you try to be a bit more subjective. - I don&#039;t think you&#039;re being inflammatory to promote discussion, some of your comments reek of misandry, on a personal level. If I&#039;m wrong, feel free to cite how and why.

But really, extremism on either end is just cancerous to everyone.</description>

		<description>The bible was written by men to suit the purposes of men. The collective female pain-body reflects millenia of female oppression. According to the bible, which was written by men, we are predestined for Heaven or Hell (you might consult the book of Romans, Chapter 9). This predestination would include &quot;Adam and Eve&quot; and their supposed &quot;choosing&quot; to &quot;sin.&quot; The fact is, the bible, which was written by men, makes it clear that it was &quot;God&quot; &quot;Himself&quot; who created sin, as well as created &quot;the Devil.&quot;

According to the bible, which was written by men, not only are we born sinful, but we are even sinful in the womb. And according to the bible, which was written by men, &quot;the wages of sin is death&quot; (i.e. everlasting doom in an eternal furnace). Quite a monstrous fate when one considers miscarriages, still births, infant deaths, and the death of young children. 

The problem with subscribing to any man-made religion (and a more accurate description would be &quot;political system&quot;) as an unquestionable dogma, is one must accept all of it; not pick and choose. Oh wait! I know! Quick! Somebody find an &quot;age of accountability&quot; scripture! Surely we can reinterpret SOMETHING so we don&#039;t have to send our kiddies to Hell!! Sadly, there is no such scripture. Hmmmmmmmm.

BTW, yes, I am fully aware that this is a discussion about &quot;submission,&quot; but I think I made my point about dragging the &quot;good book&quot; into it :)</description>

How interesting that you chose to capitalize the word &quot;Man,&quot; but not &quot;woman.&quot; Or did someone else make that choice for you?</description>
