God, I can hear Education Secretary Dolores Umbridge chuckling over this...

The house where I grew up was pretty new - way newer than any of the other houses on the block. A typical one-story ranch house that you might see in any stretch of American suburbia.

Critical thought without the inherent general value judgements that can often be found here.

If this made her feel powerful and helped with her healing, then that’s awesome but I’m troubled by the idea that a dominatrix is inherently powerful (and that male submissives are inherently safe).
