@chaosprime Print it on my blog, the hooded utilitarian I mean.
@hoodedu Yeah, that's my issue. I'm all for BDSM, but I think it needs to be kept in specific sexy context, not be the basis of society.

@chaosprime I think there are pros and cons. But, for example, he's extremely gay friendly at a time when no one was. -
@hoodedu True! He saw homosexual relationships as a natural outgrowth of homosocial ones, and the latter as developmentally key, innit? -
@chaosprime Sort of. He saw lesbianism as normal and even ideal. Female/female bonds were essential for the millenium.

@chaosprime And very feminist, when that was also unusual. -
@hoodedu He seems to me to have been feminist by way of prizing kyriarchy above all; through seeing women as equal or superior dominants. -
@chaosprime I don't know that that's quite right; he's really into flipping doms. Everybody gets to be top and everybody gets to be bottom -
@hoodedu Hmm, okay. Yeah, I need to better understand what he was on about before I rail against him or have a clear idea that I should. -
@chaosprime He's a weirdo, there's no doubt. I think his comics are beautiful and funny and bizarre, though. You should try reading some if

@chaosprime And that's all linked to his bdsm commitments, and to his vision of social reform. -
@hoodedu Hey, have you read C.S. Friedman's _In Conquest Born_? -
@chaosprime Not only haven't I read it, I don't even know what it is. Book? comic? -
@hoodedu Book. I was pondering what I thought Marstonian society might look like, and the Braxana from that book came to mind.
