Domination and submission are forms of play. Play is fun because it allows to you safely explore alternatives from your real life - "safely" meaning "in a way which is isolated from real life". Play is fun *precisely because* it isn't reflective of your normal self. Dominance and submission sessions are escapes from reality, not reality itself. How you enjoy to play doesn't say anything about who you "really are" (for lack of a better term).
In the same way that a kid who plays Call Of Duty probably doesn't want to really join the Army and kill enemies in battle, a person who enjoys dominance and submission probably doesn't really desire to live as a dominant or a submissive in their real lives. Dominance and submission can be completely coherent with feminism, just like playing Call Of Duty can be completely coherent with pacifism.
IIN I'm a very adamant feminist yet I love degrading sex
