So, in the process of researching for the shockingly popular Cosmarxpolitan, I was pointed in the direction of an excellent feminist BDSM blog. Author Holly just wrote a really excellent defense of her sex-positive stance, so go read it at Pervocracy. Okay. Now you’re back. If you didn’t go read it, here are the main points… keep reading

afraid of commitment, allergic to labels
I am, of course, describing college kids. So imagine this situation.
