In reply to Elizabeth. I love this series bc it parallels so much me discovering my desire to bottom? Like, it's nice to see my desires matched from the other side, because it can become easy to believe sometimes that "there's no way my partner loves being dominating AS MUCH as I love submitting... it must be selfish of me to request that we do this"? Does that make sense? Anyway. Re: Elizabeth - I think there's merit to your statement, but as a queer-feminist-lefty/radical-sub-WhateverOtherLabel, my *personal* response to that statement was not "this is misogynistic" but rather "YES. I want to DO THAT." Equating dom/sub undertones with misogyny can be damaging and shame-y to folks who want that sort of play in the bedroom -- Sex play is different from actual, real-world politics when it is play and when the partners communicate about it and when the relationship is entered on even footing and when both parties get to decide what happens, all of which seems to be happening in the stories told in this series.
