Halloween, Femininity, and Permission to Submit | Happy Submissive Podcast
Manage episode 516999663 series 3696494
Why does the nurses' association hate sexy nurse costumes? Because they reveal something we're not supposed to admit: nurturing is feminine. And Halloween gives women permission to express that femininityâand submissionâthey can't show the other 364 days of the year.
Every Halloween, the same debate resurfaces: "Sexy nurse costumes are degrading to women!" But are they? Or do they celebrate something essential about feminine energyâthe care, the nurturing, the devotion that real nurses embody?
My grandmother was a nurse. She wasn't degraded by it. She was EMPOWERED by it. Because nursing is women's workânot because women are weak, but because women have a unique gift for nurturing and caregiving that men simply don't have at the same level.
And Halloween? It's the one day a year when women get PERMISSION to be overtly feminine, even submissive, without judgment. The rest of the year, they have to be "strong," "independent," "equal." But on Halloween, they can dress as nurses, maids, angels, witches, catsâroles that celebrate femininity and service.
Meanwhile, men dress as superheroes, warriors, villains, kingsâdominant figures. Why? Because that's their natural energy. And Halloween lets both genders express what they can't express publicly the rest of the year.
We discuss:
⢠Why the nurses' association is wrong about "sexy nurse" costumes
⢠My costume evolution: from childhood innocence to adult femininity
⢠Master's quiz: What do men really think about women's Halloween costumes?
⢠The gender divide: Women as "sluts," men as heroesâwhat does it reveal?
⢠Why Halloween gives women permission to be feminine and submissive
⢠What these costumes reveal about submission and dominance
