This blog is for me to discuss why I draw, what I read, what I love and what I fear. It will also include a regular spotlight on anime and manga in which the girls are on top. I will be posting quasi-philosophical commentary on what drawing means to me, quasi-academic responses to "femdom" anime & manga titles and rants on why "femdom" titles are important. I will also examine non-femdom titles in the context of their presentation of gender dynamics and treatment of female characters.
For the purposes of this blog, I'm defining a "femdom" title as any work in which the primary female character has actual authority over the primary male character. While female-over-female power dynamics could also validly be defined as femdom, I will not be categorizing them as such, for the simple reason that they tend not to invert the traditional power structure found in most available manga & anime in the same way.
