Are There Gendered Assumptions in Kink? - Episode 266

About this episode

The episode explores how unspoken gendered assumptions influence power dynamics in kink.

Are there gendered assumptions in kink? We like to think the answer is no. That everything is negotiated, intentional, chosen. But in reality, a lot gets decided before the conversation even starts. In this episode, we’re looking at how those unspoken ideas shape power exchange—who gets taken seriously, who gets questioned, and who is given authority without earning it. Because if roles are being decided before they’re even discussed… that’s expectation, not choice.
