Gillian Anderson: Power of a Woman

Apologies if it feels like I'm rambling, but it's easier to write about stuff than emotions in a foreign language. Still, the image speaks for itself. 

So not acting. Orange dress with matching belt and suggestive painting in the background. Gillian Anderson in Sex Education. Teach me. (Image: Netflix)

In essence femdom is nothing more than a variation on every man's quest to experience the power of a woman. It's what we live for, the. The adventure of a lifetime, a man's holy grail. For most of us the journey ends when we're allowed to sample her powers. If you are into femdom, you crave the power of a woman a little more, so extra peppers please.

I'm never gonna be President of France. No worries, don't want to be either. When it comes to couples with huge age differences between them, live and let live. But if I want to bask in the glow of a truly powerful, dominant woman ever again, my best bet is when our age difference is a bit more limited than that of the wife of the President of France and her husband. Lucky me, I generally prefer women closer to my own age.

Even idiots have their use. And no, that's not why you're reading this blog. just don't say that's why you reading this blog. An example I found somewhere else: "Do you prefer younger [18-21] or older dommes?" That's just plain stupid. Not that anybody spotted the "irony."

For several years now, I've been working on a story explaining the beauty of mature, dominant women. Despite the fact they are awesome, my initial draft is going nowhere. Even the reverse-brainwashing that post-porn Tumblr, once full of middle-of-the-road femdom imagery, promised us, makes no difference. This is how far I've got: [inner voice to self] "whatever you do, don't use an actual picture of a woman for an illustration. Don't, don't, don't!" Why? Because most people don't understand the true nature of beauty. More on that another time.

Looking for suggestions on what to watch on Netflix, I ran into an awesome image of former X-Files actress Gillian Anderson. It's the one you see at the top of this post. It's the polar opposite of conventional femdom, but all men love it, despite the fact that most have no clue as to why. It just oozes silently the power of a woman. Any man in her presence instantly drops to his knees. Trust me, I'm an expert.

It doesn't matter Mrs. Anderson made several irresponsible life choices, colloquially known as The Fall Series Two, The Fall Series Three and the X-Files Rebooted. The latter despite that fact that Gillian Anderson in boots would look hot. Sorry, wrong turn. Yet such is the aura of her presence that not even multiple major career mistakes can dim the intoxicating aura of female power that radiates from her. Don't believe me? Just look at the image below and you'll agree it gets stronger. Oops, I mean resistance is futile.

The only reason I can come up with for Gillian Anderson not playing the next 007 is the fact that she'd make an awesome Doctor Who. More on the Doctor later.

But hey, if you are a rjiel grumpy beliewer who knows for sure that twuely superior women always wear [traditional femdom-styled and male-approved] hot outfits, look at this classic image of Gillian Anderson. Just remember, the best is yet to come. I've always liked the actress, but over time Gillian Anderson has steadily grown more and more impressive. Clearly bad acting choices haunt actresses [just them] for life. Oh, come on, that doesn't explain why the Bond franchise didn't go with Gillian Anderson as the next Bond. Bond as in Jane. Jane Bond. Those silly Brocolli's choose Idris Elba either.

Backup a minute, do bad acting choices really haunt female actors for life? The opening image of this post is taken from the second season of the Netflix hitshow Sex Education. Not that I knew when I started typing. Apparently it's a thing these days. Sex education, just like sexual freedom is a good thing. That's the power of 7.99 a month baby. Because everybody is sexy, but sadly not everybody believes it. By the way, still haven't seen Netflix' "Bondage", but who cares?

My mind is drawn once again to the image of Gillian Anderson in her orange dress for the nth time as I try to finish up writing this post. Smirky women are sexy women. Trust me, I'm an expert among experts. On top of that, the actress plays a free-spirited sex therapist on Sex Education. Should have seen that coming. Too much raw, undiluted female power makes a man weak in his knees and melts his brain. Weak but grateful.

But not to weak to understand that I have to re-evaluate my priorities in life. It's no longer a question whether or not I sign up for slave improvement class [sic] but only when and where.

Perhaps there is a thing or two Dutch can learn from it. Dropping on my knees in front of a powerful woman in an orange dress is not one of them. Not even if it's Gillian Anderson. First time's always the best.
