Being a submissive AND a feminist?

[thir]

Yes, I am a feminist. I say womyn, not women. Since I was in elementary school I've been a feminist. Reading essays/books/articles on it, taking classes, and even having discussions. BDSM is also an important part of my lifestyle-- it is one of the main puzzle pieces that depicts me as a person. But my question is; is there room for feminism while being a submissive?

This topic comes up at regular intervals, and I am personally quite happy to see it, as to me is a sign that people feel good on this list.

Being a feminist is to me an important part of a person's view of the world and their place in it. It is also, as many others say, about owning your life, having choices, including the choice to give yourself away, should you wish.

And that is why they fit perfectly together - feminism is all about your right to do with yourself and your life as suits you.

Just because I'm a submissive I've had numerous doms messaging me, asking for webcam, typographical sex, and sordid pictures; assuming that they control me because they carry the name 'dom' around themselves while I have 'submissive' stamped on my forehead. When I have a Master, I will respect him/her and follow his/her wishes (and enjoy it), don't get me wrong, but I just don't want to have to lower myself and go against deeply ingrained views for someone who's NOT my Master (and doesn't plan to be).
So, is there room for someone such as me in this community?

Frankly if you let yourself be controlled by any idiot you'd have a bad life and be in danger as well! Ignore them.

So yes, there is plenty of room for such as you in this community, and you will find that you are not the only one with this profile.

Welcome.
