I was thinking about it in relation to other 'minority' sexual identities and gender identities and I think a lot of your argument stands for those too. Gay people get pathologised and are made to feel their sexuality is somehow 'wrong' and 'twisted', especially if it doesnt fit in with how 'respectable' gay people should behave and act. And they often look to their childhoods for how they 'ended up' this way. I think what I want to say is that your 'uncomfortable truth about kink' can be widened out into a 'uncomfortable truth about sexuality'. I often come back to this post in my mind.

I think what I want to say is that your ‘uncomfortable truth about kink’ can be widened out into a ‘uncomfortable truth about sexuality’.

And in my experience there are some strong women submissives and masochists. Not being submissive myself this has always been a mystery that I'm trying to understand, but I've also known a number of women submissives that believe in male domination in general. One who is a medical student and just firmly believes that men are superior. I don't know how this plays out when she becomes a doctor as is her plan. Another is submissive in life in general; she wasn't making appointments that she should make because she didn't recently separated from the shared Dom that she had, and she had no one to tell her to make the appointment. The old saying goes, "it takes all types," and that's as true here as much as anywhere else. It’s true that behind every kink there is a story.
