ORIGINAL: ChatteParfaitt And when you make assertions about how something doesn't apply to you, you're more believable if you come up with more than: it doesn't apply to me b/c it I say it doesn't. I'd put it more strongly. My experience is that the vast majority of people have no idea why they do certain things, and, in fact, are usually wrong about their motivations, especially when they are afraid of being criticized. People don't like seeing ugliness in themselves -- or they skew the other way, and pathologically see the ugliness only. To understand and accept oneself, warts and all, is a lifelong process, and no one ever really finishes it. It takes years of struggle, either with a therapist or just with other people calling you out on your shit, to gain a deep self-understanding. It doesn't happen through private introspection alone. Red Magic- Agreed. I don't think it is really critical someone understands where a fetish comes from, but with the forced femme humiliation I think it is important to understand why some women would react negatively to it. If someone is humiliated by wearing women's clothing, it means they associate that with being humiliated, and it is something internalized quite young, picked up from others. All one has to do is think back a bit, like where a football coach will tell a player, who they think isn't tough enough, why don't you put on a skirt and be a cheerleader, or to quote a certain football coach in the NFL when assessing how a running back was doing, and he responded "she is doing well"....women have been associated with the weaker sex, and anything where a male takes on 'female' attributes is often looked down upon. An offensive lineman for the Miami Dolphins, who is 315 pounds, a mountain, was being bullied by a teammate (reputedly the coaches may have had a hand in that, to toughen the guy up), and read the responses to it on online forums, telling him to 'man up' and stop acting like a girl, stop being soft, etc......It is all part and parcel to the way men grow up in many cases, it has been internalized. It is kind of like the person who thinks they are color blind, don't look down on blacks, yet in certain things has accepted things that are racist (like a friend of mine, who when we were talking about racism and prejudice, and I mentioned how segregated most suburbs are in the NYC area, that in most towns there are few blacks, and then you see towns that are mostly black, and he said "oh, that is because blacks prefer living where everyone else is black", which is an assumption that doesn't hold water in reality, but he assumed it was true. I personally don't have a problem with forced femme or humiliation play in being 'dressed up', I simply said that women could have problems with it because its roots are in what you are talking about, that it is because they are dressed in the clothing of women that it is happening.
