Warning, rant ahead: @instructor144 recently had an anon ask about D/s and make snarky comments about being raised to see women as strong and independent, not weak.
I am a submissive woman. My response to the seemingly unending implications of my being weak because I’m submissive is FUCK YOU!
This is #me in the pic running another 100 miler. And yep, I biffed it at mile 60. A beautiful face plant. So I got the fuck up and ran to the next aid station at “No Hands Bridge.” See the little lump on my hip? That’s an ice pack on the massive contusion from a rock I managed to smack. Turned out I had a bone bruise and two cracked ribs. Did I whine and look for some man to rescue me, pull a damsel in distress? Nope. Got the fuck out of the aid station and ran the next 40 miles with ice shoved down my pants. (Side note – you find out who your real friends are when you need them to shove ice down your shorts after running 60 miles.) The shirt I’m wearing says “RUN LIKE A GIRL” I had just turned 49. (Hey, a girl’s gotta celebrate, right?)
I’m a lot of things, but weak ain’t one of them.
Answering the women who say I contribute to sexism, misogyny, and the degradation of women ….
1.) Equality and freedom means I get to choose for myself.
2.) “My body, my choice” doesn’t mean shit if you decry my choices.
4.) Stop policing other women. We get enough of that shit from religion, etc. Don’t be a fucking lowlife collaborator. I have your back for your choices. If you don’t have mine, at least have the decency to sit down and shut the fuck up.
5.) STOP BLAMING WOMEN FOR THE BAD BEHAVIORS OF MEN!!! You’re just providing aid and comfort to the “She was asking for it"crowd.
And here’s another piece of unsolicited advice:
Never underestimate the strength of a woman and never fuck with one that runs 100 miles in the mountains for fun!
And, yes, I feel much better having had this little rant.
That sound you just heard was a MIC DROP up in here, motherfuckers!! Some of the deepest submissives I’ve known have been have been the strongest, smartest, sharpest, most bad ass women I’ve known. Check your preconceptions and prejudices at the door, or else shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down.
Damn skippy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Even amazing people can’t live forever. But the lessons they teach us can. Pass this on: Who we are in bed has little relationship to who we are in life.
