its-life-and-life-only asked: "These are issues that are ingrained within society to be considered bad not because they are bad, but because they are practiced in ways that don’t support established systems of power. BDSM isn’t disadvantaged because society hates BDSM. BDSM is disadvantaged because certain forms of BDSM challenge gender roles and power dynamics." How can this be claimed when society...
"Privileges" that don't exist

So straight people don’t practice BDSM? Straight people don’t get fired because of their BDSM practicing only? Being a dominatrix or a master is seen as inherently homosexual? The BDSM community itself isn’t largely aimed at straight people? The typical roles within age play aren’t a younger girl and a daddy? …
Which are also issues regarding sexism and...
prolongedeyecontact replied to your post: I’ve *never* seen BDSM portrayed as a lgbt thing. White male masters and white female subs are essentially the “face” of the scene. Of course other configurations occur frequently but that’s not generally what people think of. Now I do think male subs with female doms experience some form of misogyny/homophobia from society at large, but I still ...

Why does it make you wonder about its “supposed legitimacy”? I’m guessing you don’t think there’s vanilla privilege by this, but that also seems to imply you don’t think there’s straight privilege? Perhaps i’m misreading that part.

It annoys me even more because the person who said this is living under the same roof as somebody who isn’t biologically related to them (and me) in the slightest, yet still views them as biologically related in all senses.

I hate when my family have discussions about me and my brother having children, and people say not to expect one from me because i’m with a woman and then when I say i’ll be fostering/adopting regardless of the gender of person i’m with, I get told that they won’t really be my kid.
