-'''Feminist Views on BDSM''' vary widely from rejection to acceptance and all points in between. As an example, the two polarizing frameworks are being compared here. Some feminists, such as [[Andrea Dworkin]] and [[Susan Griffin]], regard [[BDSM]] as a form of [[violence against women|woman-hating violence]], while other feminists, such as [[Gayle Rubin]] and [[Patrick Califia]], see BDSM as a valid form of expression of [[human female sexuality|female sexuality]]. Some lesbian feminists practice BDSM and regard it as part of their sexual identity.+'''Pat Califia''' (born 1954, formerly also known by the last name '''Califia-Rice''') is an American writer of non-fiction essays about [[human sexuality|sexuality]] and of [[eroticism|erotic]] fiction and poetry.

-The history between feminists and [[BDSM]] practitioners has been controversial. The two most extreme positions are those who believe that feminism and BDSM are mutually exclusive beliefs, and those who believe that BDSM practices are an expression of sexual freedom. A lot of the controversy is left over from the [[feminist sex wars]] and the battle between the [[Anti-pornography feminism|anti-pornography feminists]] and the [[pro-sex feminist|pro-pornography feminists]].+
