ORIGINAL: shiftyw Supremacy is not just a kink. When it is carried out between consenting parties, that's exactly what it is. It's my opinion that the difference between BDSM and all the other social ills with which it might be confused is that BDSM is safe, sane and consensual. So long as one practises ones supremacist beliefs in a safe, sane and consensual manner, then there really ought to be nothing to get upset about. Or are we playing thought police, deciding what people can and cannot think, can and cannot enjoy, can and cannot enact in their consensual relationships? There are two basic kinds of consent. Explicit consent and implicit, tacit consent. Looking away and not intervening to correct a social or personal injustice is a form of tacit consent, as with allowing bullying and harassment. I know that you mean explicit consent between two individuals, but these lines of consent are not always clearly demarcated. When nations like ours stood passively by not intervening sooner in WWII to oppose fascism, a superpower in a position to take such risks, this was a form of tacit consent. What the U.S. was doing behind the scenes covertly to assist their future axis allies, was not officially known to the public. Going by your logic, then, anybody can proclaim any morally reprehensible attitude, sociopathic and/or psychopathic behavior toward another as their kink. Nazism, Aryan or White Supremacy, Neo-Nazism, misanthropy, misogyny, misandry, religious bigotry, discrimination/snobbery, infidelity (spouse looks the other way), personality disorders, addictions, ad infinitum. . . . Stalkers often have convinced themselves that the one-sided fantasy affair they are carrying on in their minds is a consensual one. You admitted to having feelings of superiority, and this is not uncommon on a socio-economic level and with those who secretly harbor a belief in their intellectual superiority, to look down upon others. It is probably human nature to do this to one extent or another, to favor one's clan of origin, to revile a homeless person or an indigent vagabond, welfare moms, crack whores and other drug addicts. The choice is always yours to catch yourself and then to practice empathy and compassion, which is the evidence of our humanity. An individual may not have much of choice or control over their anti-social, self-destructive behavior if he or she has a mental illness. But neither does mental illness give this person carte blanche to use insanity as a defense for their actions. quote:
ORIGINAL: orgasmdenial12 You know it seems to me, that this is one of those kinks that people really struggle to accept 'live and let live'. Although they may logically acknowledge that what people get up to in the privacy of their own homes is their own business, it's such a button-pressing topic that they just can't let it lie. It's as thought the mere existence of anyone who things men are superior is just too much to handle. And yet, I bet those same people have no issue with the many female supremacist Dommes at all, most likely because they see it as harmless. You are assuming or accepting of the notion that Male Supremacy and Female Supremacy are kinks or should be recognized as bona fide kinks, but there are those of us who contend that Supremacist philosophies are not. Racism is not a kink. Race play is a kink. The I-word is not a kink. I-word/age play is a kink. Cheating on your spouse or partner, or looking for strange is not a kink. (It may or may not stem from a sex addiction or from porn addiction.) Being the slave to an addiction is not a kink. Being a slave to one's ego is not a kink. Being self-centered and delusional is not a kink. I'm not sure about this, but I don't believe that Female Supremacist Dommes count every single man as being inferior to every single woman without exception, or that no man could ever be her equal or deserving of respect as a peer. White Supremacists, on the other hand, believe that every single white person is inherently superior, and that all other races are subhuman, thus justifying inhumane treatment.
