    Can you elaborate a little? I got an email about this and found it baffling. Nearly every power dynamic has gender dynamic built in because pretty much everyone has a gender. Are we talking secretary-and-the-macho-boss style power play? Or, like, "Hey, I have noticed recently that you have a penis/some reasonable facsimile and I would like to humiliate you because it is small/does not satisfy me"? The phrase "spice up" makes me feel like we're talking costumes and Redbook magazine, but for dykes?

    Also, WTF is a "deep inner personal gender identity"? Like, Arrested Development's "The Man Inside Me"? Does every man have an inner woman?

  4. you know, there are times I really resent not being in New York. lol
