People take their cultural assumptions into bed with them. I think it's useful to examine those assumptions and be aware of which ones one's taking in.
Yes, and I'm trying to figure out whether I should post a followup, or start in comments.
Specifically, the conversation was about culture, patriarchy, and kink, and the degree to which the one is or is not self-aware about the interplay between one's assumptions and one's activities.
(The whole "this is where you get your nightmares" piece is something I'm not as qualified to comment on, as I rarely have nightmares.)
