As a feminist and a submissive I know it took me a while to reconcile these seemingly opposing desires within myself. I can't even really say they are reconciled. It is more that I have just accepted that I have certain wants and needs and certain beliefs and they don't have to be completely consistent.

It occurred to me today that someone of African-American decent, might have an additional hurdle to cross in accepting their submissiveness. After the incredible struggle to overcome slavery and ongoing oppression, it might cause even greater internal conflicts to accept ones needs for submission.

Any comments or insights?
