Is Kink the Key to Feminism's Revival?

Something has been wrong with feminism for quite a while now. It was unearthed in an era in which women desired to work - to make their own money. In America, money begat power, and power begat more freedom. Getting into the work place wasn't as much of an issue as getting paid the same. So, women went to school. Women did all the same things men did, including beginning to act like men.

The glass ceiling still thwarts us. Why?

Because we can't embrace being female. We have vaginas. Hell, we have boobs. We have longer hair and wear make up. Or maybe we don't. I don't know, but we're prettier...generally. We have babies. We operate differently. We just aren't men. We can't succeed by pretending that we are.

Recently, I interviewed two female members of Los Angeles' BDSM (kink) community on definitions of their roles and their view of sex positive feminism.

The entire interview will be posted on GeekGirlontheStreet.com, but here's an general preview:

BDSM is in the unique position to show female empowerment not only culturally but physically. As any good marketer knows, tangible manifestations of a concept are the best way to infiltrate it into society.

BDSM is also a bit of a mystery to women. It's not abuse. It's not about men dominating women. Rihanna is a major misnomer and Chris Brown is a dick. It's about letting loose and accepting fetishes. Doing this can lead to more enlightening sexual experiences, and even - SHOCKER - one might learn something else about oneself.

Thanks in advance to Miss Drea Deville for her help on this project.
