I don’t mind sexual objectification in the right context (as in, I am consenting to it), however, this whole ‘girls fitting into x’ thing just doesn’t do it for me personally. I see it crop up here on tumblr, the whole ‘girl in a box’, ‘girl in a suitcase’, ‘girl in a cage’, and for some reason I can’t put my finger on, it just rubs me the wrong way. Where’s my man in a box, man in a suitcase, man in a cage? Ok — that last one may be a bit better represented. ;)
It could be that I don’t like being encased in things, it would make me feel claustrophobic, but I think it’s something more than that. I think in part, it’s a feeling that, as someone with a submissive side, I should make myself small and diminutive to you - literally. That I should be able to fold myself up and be ultimately passive. That’s just not my style. I love tumblr for exposing me to images and ideas that push my buttons and make me think.
And I love the fact that there is something for just about everyone.
Being the good little feminist that I am, I always saw sexual objectification as a bad thing. As I’ve learned to embrace my submissive tendencies, my appreciation for objectification has grown. Now I long to be a pretty little doll for my dominant, wrapped up as s/he sees fit. A creature to be toyed with for their pleasure.
Just like this.
