Should the First Lady Get a Paycheck? | Bondage Fantasies | Virginity Pledges Fail

Reproductive Justice & Gender Newsletter January 5th, 2009 More from Reproductive Justice & Gender »

The Fantasy of Acceptable 'Non-Consent': Why the Female Sexual Submissive Scares Us (and Why She Shouldn't) By Stacey May Fowles, Seal Press There is a guilt and shame among women who have fantasies of their own violation and express a desire to be demeaned. Read more »   Many feminists spend their whole lives combating rape and other forms of violence against women. So what does it mean when a woman fantasizes about her own violation through rape, bondage or humiliation? The key here, as feminist author and self-described sexual submissive Stacey May Fowles explains, is the word "consent." There is a marked distinction between being violated against one's will and consenting to being violated within the context of sexual role-play. In an eye-opening essay (included in the new anthology Yes Means Yes! edited by Jaclyn Friedman and Jessica Valenti and published by Seal Press), Fowles opens up the world of bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism from a feminist's perspective and challenges readers to think about sexual submission in a new way.

Mood or Food?

Daily Tip for Monday, January 5, 2009 Mood or Food? Is your trip to the fridge about eating or feeling? Superstar trainer Jillian Michaels suggests analyzing your emotions before choosing your snack. Follow these steps and understand what makes you tick—or your tummy growl. When you think you're hungry, learn to stop and ask yourself in that moment, "Am I even hungry?" Explore yourself and your feelings. Are you going through something stressful like a breakup or layoffs at the office? Identify the emotion and what's going on inside you. When you recognize the emotion, you need to face it in order to conquer it. Ask yourself, "Can this issue be resolved in the now?" Do you have the ability to deal with it? If you're at the point where you can't resolve the issue, you need to find ways of nurturing and pampering yourself that are not food-related. At the end of the day, Michaels also advocates being realistic. "Sometimes it just doesn't work. When all else fails, make a healthier choice." Sit Back, Relax and Have Fun!
