i’m very happy! all it took was being in a relationship with a man that makes all the decisions. i feel like a *lot* of my friends would really enjoy this too, but it feels way too awkward to bring up. ya know, like. feminism and stuff. do you have any suggestions?
It’s not outlandish to think that a very submissive girl might have surrounded herself with a friend group that leans subby, but I’d be careful about assuming too many of them would be content in an arrangement similar to your own. There are a lot of steps in going from an activity to a lifestyle, and to most people, those steps look like a ton of work.
But if there’s one or two friends you truly think would benefit, I feel the best approach is to talk about how feminism isn’t a problem in need of a workaround. The world is positively overburdened by idiotic man-babies, and thus will always need feminism to protect itself from the maneuvers of mindless manhood.
That doesn’t mean that an individual woman can’t pick out an individual man and say, “This guy of my choosing is more than I am. This doesn’t lessen me; it elevates him. I’m cool, he’s cooler. I like that. It makes me happy to follow his lead.” You can believe passionately in freedom for all and still covet a cage for yourself.
