Please recall the big spoon/little spoon roles I described earlier. A look at the gay adaptation of these terms is useful in exposing the power relationship they instantiate. Among gay men, big spoon and little spoon have become softer ways of signaling whether one is a top or a bottom during sex. But, as has been true of the top/bottom dynamic since the beginning, these also carry certain connotative weight: Big spoons are manly and will take care of you (provided you let them use you to take care of themselves); little spoons are fragile, passive creatures that need to be held and kept safe.

I think his familiarity with gay terms tells me more than I need to know about the author.

Ohforgodsakes!!! Guess I’m a little spoon, and I like being held and kept safe. Feminist dogma didn’t quite hold the allure for me as it has some.
