Altogether Ooky: Feminist Theory + Kink, Cut from the Same Cloth

At first glance, feminist theory and kink seem like an unlikely pair – one lives in the academy, the other in the dungeon; one interrogates power structures, the other plays within them. This four-hour training makes the case that not only do they belong together, but that each one makes the other sharper. The first half builds the compatibility argument, moving through intersectionality, embodied knowledge, care ethics, and feminist critiques of pathologization as frameworks that validate and deepen kink practice from the inside out. Then, just when the case feels settled, we stress-test it: taking seriously the strongest feminist critique of kink consent – whether desires shaped by socialization, trauma, and power imbalance can ever be fully claimed as one’s own. Rather than dismissing that challenge we’re going to sit with it, trace where it has genuine traction and where it fails, and turn to intersectional feminist frameworks that actively support kink consent as a way through. Sex therapists, practitioners, and educators leave with both a theoretical foundation and practical tools for navigating these questions – in their work, with their clients, and in their own communities.

At the conclusion of this training, attendees will be able to...

  1. Identify the historical origins of the perceived incompatibility between feminist theory and kink, including key figures and flashpoints in the feminist sex wars.
  2. Apply at least three feminist theoretical frameworks - intersectionality, embodied knowledge, and care ethics - to kink practice and/or clinical work with kink-identified clients.
  3. Articulate the strongest version of the feminist critique of kink consent and identify its key theoretical limitations, including the unfalsifiability and paternalism problems.
  4. Describe at least two feminist frameworks that affirmatively support kink consent and apply them to practical scenarios in clinical or community contexts.

While TASHRA makes every attempt to assure fair treatment for all participants, occasionally complaints will arise about continuing education programs. This does not include complaints or comments received on course evaluations.

 

The person with a grievance will first try to informally resolve their grievance by contacting TASHRA with the issue concerning the training, its delivery, the evaluation method, technological issue, other attendee(s), and/or any other concern.

 

When a participant files a complaint, either orally or in written format, and expects action on the complaint, the following actions and procedures will be taken:

 

  1. If the grievance concerns a speaker, the content presented by the speaker, or the style of presentation, the individual making the complaint will be asked to put his/her comments in written format. The Professional Development Services Manager will then pass the comments on to the speaker, assuring the confidentiality of the complainant.
  2. If the complaint concerns a workshop offering, its content, level of presentation, or the facilities in which the workshop was offered, Professional Development Services Manager will mediate and attempt to resolve the complaint promptly. If the participant requests action, the Professional Development Services Manager is empowered to:
    1. Attempt to move the participant to another workshop, or
    2. Provide a credit for a subsequent year’s workshop, or
    3. Provide a partial or full refund of the workshop fee.
    4. Actions 2b and 2c will require a written note, documenting the grievance, for record keeping purposes. The note need not be signed by the grieved individual.
  1. If the complaint is made after the program has occurred or concerns the TASHRA CE programming more generally, the Professional Development Services Manager will address it as follows:
  1. Request that the complainant submit a written complaint and propose an appropriate remedy.
  2. Provide the instructor(s) with the opportunity to respond to the complaint and propose an appropriate remedy,
  3. Review these documents, make a final determination, and decide on any remedy.
  4. TASHRA’s Clinical Training Committee will then consult regarding this grievance in an effort to find fair methods of resolving the grievance.
  5. If the aggrieved person is not satisfied with the solutions put forth, then they may put their grievance in writing and contact the American Association of Sexuality Educator, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). The appropriate AASECT personnel can be reached at [email protected].
