Morsigil -> RE: Does anyone else here seek a male wife? (10/28/2007 3:42:38 PM)

In response to the recent two posts by Kaiynasha and MsBearlee: I am coming in late in the thread, and going off of these two posts only, but that being said I see issues arrising from the fact that the fundamentals have not been definined. What is masculine? What is feminine? What do these terms mean to you and society at large? Masculinity (in the states, and much of the world) is most commonly associated with traits that revolve around taking and maintaining control. Charisma, wealth, status, physical size and strength, endurance, and the ability to logically and effectively debate are "masculine" traits as they're most commonly accepted. Femininity is most commonly associated with beauty, compassion, sociability, and devotion. These are simply the traits that I see commonly associated with the terms, not my own personal view, or yours (I'm not giving anyone a definition and forcing them to accept it). What it boils down to is that you both appear to have different definitions of masculine and feminine, because clearly male-wife suggests a man with feminine traits, and emasculate can be defined as "effeminate: having unsuitable feminine qualities". Most can agree that the traits traditionally ascribed to women do not lend themselves to the idea of taking and maintaining control. So if your particular kink is to see a masculine man submit, but he wants to be termed a "male-wife", then to you he is emasculate (once again, having unsuitable feminine qualities) and the term "male wife" may not be for you. If you just like men who submit and may even get excited by the prospect of a man giving up control further by sacrificing an aspect of his gender role then, male-wife might suit you well.
