Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy

Gender Equality in Ropes

Gender equality in ropes is a topic worth discussing. Since we live in a sexist society that holds men and women in different positions, shibari, with its foundation in the binary opposition between dominant and submissive, might appear problematic to some.
