A Rant About Male Superiority (pt 1)

I'll admit that I get a small thrill thinking about this concept. That men are naturally dominant, and should be in charge and the focus of a woman's life. That our existence is solely to please (in all ways) the ones with the penises.

It's a fun little fantasy, an interesting world to use for all kinds of kinky possibilities.

But it's a flawed belief, and far to often I will come across message boards, or groups, or even opinionated individuals who will use this as a reason why I, as I accept that I am a submissive, should be happy to kneel and call anything male Sir and believe that I exist for men's pleasure, and producing more Dominant Men and slave females.

...Uh, no.

If you believe that I should be outranked by ANY and ALL males, I will laugh at you. I have a son, and if he got to order me around, we'd be eating mac and cheese and bologna sandwiches every day, he'd never do anything besides play Pokemon on his DS, and his room would look like an army man encampment 24/7. Not to mention crack heads, submissive men, and people who have a dick that aren't worth a shit in general.

I also have a daughter, and if she wants to grow up to be a Pro-Domme who makes her money via CBT on mortified executives, well, hell yeah. If she, on her own, chooses to serve her partner in a traditional role (housewife) or kinky one (slave, pet, whatever), that's fine. If she is completely vanilla, not a trace of kink urge in her and she and her partner split everything from the checking account to household chores down the middle, that's awesome. I'm not going to say she is worth less than my son, or that she should be considered property because of her gender.

That's a very personal way to look at it, but it applies further.

What right do I, or any woman, have to say that because I enjoy these things, this is what works for my head/life/situation, that it's right for everyone? I wouldn't want to be an all out militant feminist who thinks that traditional femininity is nothing more than oppression. I enjoy those things, rather they're PC or not. I've got no more reason to be what said feminist thinks I should be, than I do to tell her she needs to shut up and kneel in front of the first pig of a man she comes across and offers to suck him because she's 'just a woman'.

This rant will have continuations, as this doesn't even cover half my thoughts on the main subject, let alone the Gor element, or the whole 'Men are emasculated and that's what's wrong with society' argument. I just needed to start somewhere and this really upset me earlier today.
