When I was a little girl, I couldn’t have imagined movies like Wakanda Forever or The Woman King, where women lead with strength, integrity, and wisdom instead of clinging to the hero’s strong arm while he shields her from the violence of the world. The fact that my girls can see themselves in characters who exude power, resilience, and bravery instead of shrill, hysterical terror (I grew up watching Indiana Jones, enough said) is monumental in how they see themselves in the world, and what they see themselves being capable of.
And while I’d like to think that we can reach a point of human evolution where it’s not necessary that one person dominates another, I also believe that what happens in your bedroom is between you and your consenting partner. Plus, I love femdom art, not because I love revenge or violence, but because it balances out all of the mascdom that I’ve been forced to endure for decades. And I can tell that the artists who draw, paint, and design these images really love it themselves, they’re creating alternate universes where kink isn’t anything to be ashamed of. So if, like me, you’re a little bit over seeing naked nymphettes prostrate on an alter in front of Baphomet’s giant phallus (oops, they forgot the boobs!), check out these four femdom artists who all approach the gynarchy from different angles (no pun intended) — Harold Bear, Old Man Equine, Annmo Night, and Rodzo.
