CHICAGO – We have a divergence from our regularly-scheduled instructional violence: in November, we have MrsB coming to talk about Feminism & BDSM in a little talk she calls….
The Feminist Pervert
What BDSM Taught Me About My Feminism, Sexuality & Shame
Considering all the bondage, beatings, skimpy clothing, and overtly sexual behavior intrinsic to the BDSM scene, an outsider might think it was no place for a feminist – yet that couldn’t be further from the truth. The kink community is full of strong, vocal feminists. But many people of all gender and sexual orientations still struggle to reconcile the things they want to do in the bedroom with their views on feminism and equality.
This class will discuss some common sources of confusion and internal conflict which kinky feminists face. I’ll talk about my own personal struggle to reconcile my feminism with my kink, and what I learned about myself and other people along the way. The class will not just be geared towards women – people of all genders, orientations, D/s proclivities and political beliefs are encouraged to attend.
About MrsB
MrsB is an intelligent, sexy, feminist, kinky, femme, heteroflexible submissive-leaning switch with a powerful supervagina, who thinks it’s funny that we kinksters identify our sexuality like finicky Starbucks customers order coffee. She enjoys rope, bondage, cuddling, laughter, good conversation, and violently brutal sex.
She has been an active member of the Chicago kink community since 2004, and is a nationally-known educator and demo-bottom for a wide range of bondage-, humiliation- and beating-themed classes.
Age, race, gender identification, partnership status, poly, D/s, height, eye color… all do not matter here. If you think this sounds interesting, then yes, it is for you.
This session of Rough Crowd will be talk and participation. While couples and groupings are always encouraged to come together (hey, isn’t that always nice?), it’s not a requirement to have a partner to come to Rough Crowd.
