This was brought to my attention recently, and I just wanted to get some of your opinions on this idea.
I own the book "Complete Shibari: Land". It's a beginning bondage book talking about how to tie up a rope bottom. In it, the author continually refers to the rope bottom as a "she". All of the pictures are of female bottoms. My girlfriend found this mildly offensive, because the author didn't even entertain the idea of having a male rope bottom.
To everybody out there, rope bottoms and tops, switches and subs, would you get offended by having a book stereotype the rope bottom as either male or female? My input was that the author should have used "Rope bottom" and "Rope top", and maybe have some male pictures in there as well to show how to deal with male anatomy.
Thank you to any and all responses
