I have often said that the woman who chooses to be a houswife is no less a feminist than a woman who chooses to be an aeronautics engineer.
I know a lot of women in BDSM who had been abused in the past, but let's think about this. I think the most recent statistic of sexual abuse is that 1 in 3 women by the time they are 30 have been sexually assaulted in some way. Forget a lot of women in BDSM, that's just plain a lot of women!! It's not like all women engaging in BDSM are doing it in some sort of sick repetitive self-abuse. Heck I quite enjoy the activities I engage in and while I can have sex without them (which would be the mark of a sexual dysfunction if I couldn't) I certainly find them fun and enjoyable when I do get to play.
The prof has rubbed me the wrong way on quite a few occasions It should be "Speech impediment" not "Speech defect" it is not a "Sexual Preference" it is a "Sexual orientation" and I went off on him pretty solidly when he agreed with Kekes' assertion that Affirmative Action resulted in a poorer teaching quality. I attacked Kekes for having no statistical backing to found his assertion that hiring minorities directly results in a poorer quality of teaching, and then I went off again on my Professor for stating that he disagreed with the University of Ottawa's Affirmative Action policy (which I corrected him because in Canada we have Employment Equity) because the University was forcing departments to achieve a teaching ratio of a least 40% women in the next ten years and he felt that this made departments hire underqualified professors, and thus passing over better qualified men.
