Donnadogsoth Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 What are female microsubmissions? They're ambiguous displays of female sexuality and female traits designed to tease or confuse heterosexual men. In so doing they make being a hetero man easier in terms of navigating the sexual waters, because they are defining women as distinct from men and thus making it easier to locate the universals. Things like, Cleavage Revealing clothing Skintight or form fitting clothing High heels Hose Accessorising Exotic fabrics Jewellery Feminist insignia and slogans Coiffed hair Long hair Brightly coloured hair Body piercings Dresses and skirts Corsets Visible brassieres/panties Bare chestedness (nipple tape optional) Dressed solely in lingerie Disrobed entirely Minor cross-dressing (combat boots, masculine hat, etc.) Veils Niqabs Hijabs Burkas Tattoos (feminine versions) Makeup Depilation Polished / long fingernails Maintaining a figure Allowing a man to complete a sentence Transforming appearance 1

shirgall Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 My favorite is wearing heels but cursing men for the discomfort (if not long term damage) caused by wearing them, all the while refusing to consider dating men not half a foot taller than they are.
J. D. Stembal Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 The amusing one for me is Staying at Home to Raise Children. As a feminist, my ex-girlfriend should have been all about letting me stay home with the children to raise them and manage home schooling, becoming a mentor for my children, which is something I never had from my father. When I made a great case against public school and child day care, she changed her tune and suddenly embraced this microsubmission wholeheartedly and talked about taking an extended leave of absence from the University of Colorado.GG, feminism, GG.
