The thought that female nudity can be powerful was interesting.
Your thoughts.

wow I have to say I like this article but there is so much in it I need to go back to it before I could offer any coherent thought.
ReplyDeleteYes, the article is quite interesting. And many women these days post naked pictures of themselves on the Internet. Maybe it is empowering for them.

definitely FD. But i suspect in those instances more often than not it is a sexual power these women are exploiting. their sexuality draws attention. they perhaps use it as a tool, a weapon to create a sensual and sexual self that they feel inside. The article seems to seek to persuade us that women in the contexts that the article describes use there naked flesh to provoke, maybe outrage. a rage against the storm..against community rules around female bodies. The female body is in a lot of cultures viewed as powerful..it has the power to corrupt. to corrupt the morale norms of the community..so it is covered, controlled, shut away. it is feared. In other cultures, the female form runs with wolves. It remains powerful but is not viewed as a corrupting force. blah blah blah..maybe i should stop before I leave you with a dissertation in the comments box.. ;)

I am not a lifestyle slave/submissive but have scened a few times with pro-dommes. Most remain fully-dressed, which is how they are most comfortable and so fair enough, but a rare few wear little or even nothing. To me, they are emphasising their dominance rather than demeanng themselves in any way. If they are objectified, it is as a power object, decidedly not a sex object.
ReplyDeleteGood point that they are exercising their dominance.
