@DvnFrl The most horrible parts of most power structures are out in the open and widely accepted. People would leap on a conspiracy about individuals hoarding billions of dollars for nothing more than their personal aggrandizement if it wasn’t so banal and obviously true
@Hypnodrone2@TheLadyPim1 Agree with you for the most part, but I don’t think that OP was saying that this type of play is fundamentally bad or oppressive, just that it can be done in a more or less mindful way.
@MistressKye How I would handle someone bratting at me at a party: “hey, I get that you’re having fun, but you and I don’t have that dynamic. Could you tone it down?”
@MistressKye Advice: bratting is play, and you don’t engage in play with someone without communication and consent. Just like you wouldn’t want someone to try to “dominate” you out of the blue.
@JoyousCivic Put 10 men and 100 post-menopausal women on an island and they won’t have children.
Same is true with 100 women and 10 men with vasectomies.
Maybe gender is about more than just breeding.
