Oh Once There Was a Wicked, Wicked Man

Wow, We've been remiss. Sorry!

Teaching Purim today, I started to realize how much this story has to say about BDSM. I mean, really. It's all about submission in a lot of ways...from Vashti refusing the king's command (love her as a feminist role model, btw) to Mordechai refusing to bow to Haman to Achashveros' competitive orgy (let's not pretend it was a beauty contest)....

I have more to say about this, but I welcome your comments as I process. But, really...going through the tale today, it really struck me.
