[info]geca makes a post to [info]feminist linking the site Taken in Hand that focuses on female submission in relationships, including articles entitled "The Gift of Rape". The initial response to the post is one of disgust and derision, until someone points out that the site is in actuality a BDSM site focusing on female submission, and that the concept of rape put forth by the site isn't really rape at all.

The original poster is accused of taking things out of context, and things seem to be going smoothly. Until [info]chessdev speaks up. The people who defend BDSM liken it to homosexuality, and those against it liken it to marital rape and domestic violence and they question whether any woman who is submissive in their relationships can be strong and independent, regardless if whether they choose too.

[info]endersvalentine asks whether BDSM relationships are psychologically healthy. And then things really hit the fan when [info]0xmahliax0 comments that the threads on the post don't make her really comfortable, because she practices BDSM and accuses feminism of being hypocritical. [info]endersvalentine tells her go cry a river and basically that nobody cares. From there it is a bunch of the same arguments, and brings the idea that BDSM is a type of self harm.

[info]karnythia, who staunchly defended the practice BDSM in the first thread, starts a new post in hopes of showing that one can reconcile BDSM with feminism, and [info]gangsta_ho_bag responds and says that even so, the ideas brought up in the other thread still make her uncomfortable. [info]karnythia asks why and the entire thread explodes.
