Empowerful.

Joss Whedon has gotten a lot of well-deserved shit over the years for his particular Nice Guy approach to feminism, wherein a dude feels entitled not to sex but to legitimate feminist cred for being Nice. Not knowing the guy personally, and having no interest in reading the many, many things he's had to say about himself and his philosophy, I don't know if he honestly believes that being a leather-clad dominatrix is empowering for women. However, I have a feeling he knows his audience does. And I guess if it's so important to you to feel like a Real Feminist that women totally like and respect that you don't mind completely ignoring what women have to say about it, you might be able to convince yourself that you're a feminist because you think it would be hot to be speared on the end of Eliza Dushku's stiletto. Not that that's a specific thought I've had or anything.

Mmm, lesbians.

This might never have happened had I not read this post, so that's where you can address your letters of complaint.

The post is about how it's important not to write off all porn because most of it is soul-crushing misogynistic bullshit, and some people got to talking about what kind of porn they like and what they like about it and what disgusting pervs they are or aren't for it, but hell if you'll see me speaking up there. I suggest stopping here if you find your knowledge of my sexual proclivities perfectly adequate.
