The tension here is between an individual (if influential) woman expressing her sexuality (and, yes, selling her album) as she sees fit and a sexist society that prioritizes the male gaze and normalizes male dominance. There is no easy resolution of this tension; everyone has to weigh individual expression against social obligation every day in every aspect of their lives.

The second wave feminist argument is that Carpenter’s choices not only affect Carpenter but everyone exposed to those choices. Third wave feminists will claim that Carpenter is owning her sexuality, including an expression of submission.

These two poles are much less helpful at the extremes; the Marxist analysis assigns too little agency to individuals, whereas “choice” feminism assigns too much. No one “chooses their choice” in a vacuum, but each of us can transcend our historical and class circumstances to make decisions for ourselves.

The feminist objection to Carpenter’s image is not that it is sexual but that it reinforces a very specific vision of heterosexual relations. Second wavers will argue that Carpenter has an obligation not to celebrate sexual submission because both men and women will necessarily see it as an endorsement of male supremacy. Third wavers will deny that Carpenter has any such obligation.

In my opinion we are each responsible for what we put into the world, regardless of our intentions. Any human expression has the potential to have unintended consequences, but that does not mean that we should stop expressing ourselves.

@tiny-ivy Where did you post the fairy story, would love to read it ❤️

(Edit: found where the story is posted 😆 )

It was a wonderful time and great to meet you Olo!

Hope to see others at the next one 🙂 We need more M/f!!!

The next one is online and in August!

As Big G mentionned, any very short (5’2" and under) women can trigger spontaneous sizey thoughts. Even taller ones, depending on the vibe - yes, she’s hot, but what if smol

Otherwise it’s the most random things - a woman wearing an oversized piece of clothing, or struggling to reach the top shelf at the grocery store. Or just using an everyday expression (ie. “I’d like to be as small as a mouse to hear what they said in that meeting!”)

My mind wanders.

It probably stems from it, I’m frickin miniscule for a guy my age from my area and wish I was not this small.

@Giganto82 what they said

@skysayl I can’t say for sure, because I guess we don’t imagine the same things - where you imagine overwhelming full-body sensations, I focus on small, localised sensations on my body, mostly my hands, chest, and, well, privates. My hands are really good at getting those “phantom” sensations by pure imagination…

But having external stimulis never hurts! I found this stress ball squishy thingy, but in a different material than most, it’s NOT the jelly ones, I can’t explain but its texture is leathery/smooth and it doesn’t squish as much, like it offers some kind of resistance. If it was doll-sized and shaped, I would definitely use it to get the imagination going.

@Mimi-Robotto Thank you so much, there’s a lot that resonates with me in what you wrote, but first let me just say that I’m in a better place mentally than when I wrote this. I haven’t been able to talk to my therapist about the kink yet but we did address some adjacent topics. Meds also helped but caused other side effects which I’m still dealing with. Overall I’ve still got a long road ahead but no longer in pure survival mode.

About the void I feel, you absolutely nail it on the head. I’ve never been more myself than when I indulge in RP or semi-RP with tiny ladies. They see a part of me that’s been hidden forever, and they love that part of me. It’s incredibly validating and at the same time, reality comes back twice as hard to crush me. That’s the part that make me feel even lonelier in this life, more so than just the lack of a life partner, but one who sees me without any facade, at my most vulnerable.

Sadly I had to stop my therapy sessions because my insurance ran out and I couldn’t afford to pay for them out of pocket, but I’m restarting them in January, hopefully this time around I’ll be able to push through my mental block and talk openly about my fetish. I feel there’s still a lot to unpack in there.

@Mrgoblinging7 I’m just speaking for myself, but it can be a little bit of a hassle to post across a bunch of different places 😅

Are they blending up human remains and feeding them to Dee?! 👀

The struggle of having a Giant crave you in more than one way 😩

Well, my thought about that was [REDACTED] 😉

I like my giants and tinies to have a multisensory experience 🙂

Freaky and enticingly open-ended. The shock-collar mechsuits were clever, fiendishly introduced after the physical side effects started taking their toll.

Thanks! If work has taught me anything, it’s that internal retaliation is both petty and more likely to happen than one would think. Easy inspiration for the suits and their intent.

I initially read “CIs” as “cis,” which is (pace Elon Musk) a perfectly cromulent way to refer to people whose bodies haven’t been transformed.

I kept reading it as “cis” too, but it’s just a coincidence.

I hope that in the end Dr. Too Little accepted the price she had to pay for witnessing such a miracle.

She does, but she also doesn’t have much choice.

@miss-lillipants
(I love this so much. I absolutely adored the mild offense she had for the term “crush”. That made me laugh out loud.

The rest is so sweet and realistic, too! Not a trash fire at all!)

@Kisupure 💞

@ShrinkLord Casinos usually comp drinks and food for high spenders; if she can get in on that deal one meal’s enough to last her a week 😜

@TakoAlice8 I don’t mind answering this at all; in fact, thanks for asking.

It is my understanding that the term “switch” is used in Size discussions analogously to the way it is used in BDSM circles, where it means someone who is equally able to perform either the dom role or the sub role. I don’t engage in roleplay, but as a Size writer (including banter on Size forums) I enjoy “performing” equally as a Male Giant and as a Shrunken Man. In that sense I would say I am indeed a “size switch.”

However, I prefer to keep these two personae separate, Tol Olo and Smol Olo, if you will. I have no interest in performing as a character who can become both giant and tiny. Each persona has a Size orientation that is fixed and passionate. When I am on Daddy’s Dollhouse, I am always Tol Olo; if you forget that you’re going in my pocket (or my mouth).

Any hardy souls who have managed to slog through my interminable blog posts might remember that I have not always been equally comfortable in both roles. While my earliest memories of Size feelings were about having tiny women in my grasp or my mouth, once puberty hit I was all about becoming tiny myself and falling into a giant woman’s clutches. I violently repressed any and all shrunken woman fantasies as, if not misogynistic, at least regressive. It wasn’t until about nine years ago that I finally let myself embrace my SW fantasies. The main catalyst for this was years of observing and listening to female M/f fans share (and write and draw) what Size means to them.

Consequently, I’m committed to the notion that being exposed to different Size orientations and configurations than what one prefers expands and solidifies one’s understanding of what Size can be, leading to a deeper appreciation of one’s own preferences. I know for certain that it has made me a better Size writer, learning what pushes other people’s buttons.

I guess that’s why I’m proud to be a size switch.

@TakoAlice8 You are so so kind, thank you for those lovely words ❤

I’m also not sure if this helps… But another thing that I’m realizing has helped me is that I have a friend who is on the SM side - he thinks SW are cute but would much rather be tiny himself. And he is JUST as bothered by judgy GTS fans as we are and also thinks there should be more variety in content. It helps me to hear that kind of thing from him and know that the toxicity comes from a very loud minority.

@foreverlurk Yeah, it got lots of circulation for dunking on the graphic, but I grabbed for my own purposes…
