(Anonymous) 2015-08-04 12:09 am (UTC)(link)Even though I like the idea of pegging partly because it seems dominant, I kind of hate the idea that penetration = dominance always. Honestly, I think that idea comes from women being being expected to be submissive, but people have sort of turned it the other way around, so a woman can be dominant, but only if she's penetrating someone. There's just no reason penetration NEEDS to be an act of dominance (though if you want it to be, that's fine too).

I would def call a woman's preference to sub to men a kink.

(Anonymous) 2015-08-04 08:14 am (UTC)(link)Not to mention all the sex advice aimed at men, that's basically just "dominate women! They like it!" without mentioning that some women don't like it, and that maybe you should ask first (but asking is "beta" and will totally turn the woman off...)

(Anonymous) 2015-08-04 08:50 am (UTC)(link)I mean, even the bullshit idea that "sex toys must be kinky", sure that's how heterosexist, sexist society works, but thanks for making those who strap it on, straight/bi/lesbian, trans men, even some cis gay men, whoever, kinky by default. I say this as an actively kinky person who also has vanilla strap-on sex, and I know how labelling of certain behaviours, and hell, orientations (hello so many slash fans!) as inherently kinky can be an othering behaviour that positions het sex as normal.
I don't think I'm being obtuse here? :)

(Anonymous) 2015-08-04 01:05 am (UTC)(link)I think other anon was talking about the kind of dominant, pushy, or self-entitled behavior that's often not even remarked upon as anything but normal. I.e guys being pushy for sex, expecting it, expecting to get off but not necessarily making sure they get their female partner off, expecting oral but not necessarily wanting to or being willing to give oral, assuming the position that works for them also works for their female partner or just not caring whether it does or not, expecting rigorous cleaning/grooming of the pubic area by their partner but not doing much maintenance on their own pubic area, expecting their female partner to dress in a sexually appealing way "for the sake of their sex life," or for her to be instantly horny for them whenever they bother to make an effort. That kind of stuff.
Not to mention that it's often just assumed by most men that they get to penetrate their female partner, pretty much every time they have sex, unless they would rather finish some other way. Whereas a lot of guys don't even consider letting their female partner penetrate them with anything (except maybe with a finger or two, and sometimes not even that).
For the record, I know that a lot of guys are genuinely good, thoughtful, caring sexual partners. I'm not saying ALL or even MOST guys are self-intitled pricks in the bedroom. Just that some are, and often when a guy is that way it can get overlooked or excused as being within the realm of normal male sexual behavior.

So, it's much more that the idea of a woman being dominate.
