[edit] stub category
How does this relate to feminism? Shouldn't this be considered an erotica or BDSM stub?
Changed stub catagorization from feminism to BDSM. Also added porn stub because I considered the term more erotica-based, tho a review of related Wikipedia links suggests the term is in use in BDSM circles, at least on Wikipedia. edgarde 09:38, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Disagree with porn stub classification, as it is terminology used in the BDSM sub culture, and has nothing to do with pornography. Pornography being generally visually based means of creating sexual arousal, while this term speaks about actual people and how they behave in their sub-culture. Sub-cultures are not pornography, even if they are found by others to be offensive. Removed incorrect classification based on that. Atomaton 23:37, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know enough about this subject as a real-world practice, so I erred toward treating the subject as possibly fictitious. Thanks for fixing my mistake. edgarde 08:06, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] history
As far as I know, the term originated with humiliatrix.com, a commercial sex website affiliated with Whap! magazine. Does anyone know of an earlier popular usage? edgarde 10:45, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Term has been used prior to the website, but that site may be the first documented source. Atomaton 23:37, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge this, please?
This page is unsourced and seems to be redundant, as it contains no information not already included in erotic humiliation. Might it just be merged into that article?68.229.162.166 01:35, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree - merge with erotic humiliation.
- The discussion for this merge is at Talk:Erotic_humiliation. Please join in. – edgarde 03:59, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] portmanteau? pas de tout
- The term is a portmanteau that combines "humiliation" and "dominatrix".
I disagree. The term "humiliatrix" is nothing more than a form of the word "humiliator", the -trix or -ess suffixes serving only to create a feminine form of the same word (much like mediator/mediatrix, executor/executrix, actor/actress, waiter/waitress, god/goddess et al). The French equivalents would be -trice (as in acteur/actrice) and -euse (as in masseur/masseuse). --66.102.66.118 20:42, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "pedestrian malls"?
That really doesn't seem to make too much sense... AnonMoos 05:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
