Wonder Woman was designed to bring the world to matriarchy

After reading Noah Berlatsky's article in The New Republic last week, I wrote about the similarities between Catwoman and Wonder Woman. Catwoman lost her whip and Wonder Woman's magic lasso, which compelled people to obey, got replaced by a sword.

Last December Mr. Berlatsky published a book about the super-heroine: Wonder Woman: Bondage and Feminism in the Marston/Peter Comics, 1941-1948. This week Vice interviewed the author on his recent book:

"William Marston, the psychologist and comic author who created Wonder Woman, believed that the only way to save the world from war was for women to rule the world and for men to become more like women. Marston was, among other things, a noted psychological researcher and an enthusiastic bondage fetishist; he believed comic books were a great form for educational, anti-patriarchy propaganda. Wonder Woman was designed to bring the world to matriarchy through confronting abuse and modeling girl power, genderfucking, bondage play, and erotic mind control."

Kink approved literary quotes

Poking fun of other people's kink is not done. Following up on my post on silly BDSM quotes I decide to do penance with 11 quotes unrelated to BDSM, but decidedly more relevant than the previous batch.

Same thing with dominance. if you have to tell people you are, you ain't. Most dominant people don't even know they are, they are used to get what they want.

Bullshit Detection and Selection Mechanism (BDSM)

How can you tell a twue dominant from her keyboard? And no, the correct answer is not that she uses a slave instead of a keyboard. The CTRL key is missing because mistress is always in control. Now if that strikes you as silly here are a few bullshit paradigms about BDSM, 11 to be exactly.

You have to love this one, not just for the use of the word "real" but for the narcissistic generalization of dommes as de facto strong characters. Somehow I'd rather give my soul to the woman I love than to my mistress in the unlikely event they are not one and the same

Wonderwoman Lost Her Whip

Sorry female superhero, but we the movie moguls believe one size fits all is best. We're taking away your lasso.

Rebooting a franchise is usually a bad idea. Just look at the re-re-launch of Spider-Man. We all know he'll be bitten by that spider at some point. Same thing goes for sequels and prequels. Even Batman's commissioner Gordon made it to the television all by himself in the prequel Gotham. Not he, but villainess and all-round tough girl Fish Moon is my favourite character. The show is set in the past when Bruce Wayne is barely a teenager, it is difficult to predict how Selina Kyle - Catwoman - will turn out.

The bad kitten in the sexy catsuit has been watered down beyond recognition over the years in order not to offend anyone, but by leaving out more and more trademarks she also lost most of the appeal she possessed. Michelle Pfeiffer was horrible and Anne Hathaway even worse.

The Perils Of Online Porn: Better Call Saul

Business models in love and lust are among the most interesting ones around, but when an adult producer breaks the law to cash in on illegal downloading, nobody cares.

My All-Time Favourite Kink Picture. Surprise

Science is cool. Understanding a bit of physics goes a long way to figure out the magic in floggers, whips and other lovely toys.

And I thought it stood for phunisment

Print your own male chastity device

The 3D printing revolution is in full swing. People have printed guns and spare parts, but printing a chastity device is a first. The obvious benefit is that it is highly customizable. Any suggestion on what to print next? The sky is the limit.

Google reverses Blogger censorship decision

"Now breaks my clog" we say in Dutch, loosely translated as: What the hell is going on?

According to The Verge, Google has reversed its decision to ban adult content on Blogger. Really? What are you guys up to? Did the NSA object or something?

Then again it is Friday, any spin doctor's favourite day to bury bad news. What is the real news you do not want us to find out Google?

Google deciding the ban would've had a "negative impact on individuals who post sexually explicit content to express their identities."
"The ban would have affected accounts that have been running for "10+ years."
"Rather than implement this change, we’ve decided to step up enforcement around our existing policy prohibiting commercial porn,"

Really Google? Really?

We are Google: Exterminate!
Euh we mean of course we love to hate to love porn.

Homeless Soon: Google Blogger Bans Porn

On February 24 Google announced it starts to ban porn from its Blogger platform by the end of March 2015. 

Yes, 11Dutch has to shut down his blog. I do not want to register an adult website in my own name. Does anybody know of a free blogging service that allows adult content or a free web hosting service where I can run blogging software such as Wordpress? Note that the free Wordpress blogs do not allow mature content either.

Delicious Dungeon Furniture

One of my New Year's resolutions is to learn Japanese. So far progress has been somewhat disappointing. To me Japan is the kink capital of the world, Tokyo is the only place I know of that has an S&M hotel: the Fashion Hotel Alpha-In. Even though the hotel is past its prime, it is fascinating. If I only had a fraction of the money Christian Gray does, I would set up a BDSM hotel myself. Amsterdam, Antwerp, London, San Francisco or Rio de Janeiro, it does not matter, the world needs more places like the Alpha-In.

Of course with six floors and five rooms per floor you can design whatever type of room you like. There would definitely be a Doctor Who Tardungeon room (ever noticed how many kinksters are Whovians?) and perhaps a few rooms decorated by friendly dommes. Since I am not a twue kinkster I feel no shame in confessing that I absolutely love BDSM furniture, toys and outfits.

Punishment Guillotine Chair
You have to be delightfully devious to come up with something like this. The punishment guillotine chair is perhaps the most beautiful piece of furniture I've ever seen. Versatile kinky eye candy, but unfortunately I could not trace its provenance. This Japanese website features it among several other gorgeous bondage devices, but that is it.

So gorgeous

[censored]Who is your daddy? Google is![/censored]

For some reason Google feels they can censor whatever they like. Even though its Blogger service has lost dramatically to Wordpress, it has decided to alienate more users by banning sexually explicit content from next month on. No doubt this new censorship pleases David Cameron and it will be only a matter of time before that honorary knighthood comes Larry Page's way.
