I'm not forcing my opinion on anyone else.
Yeah, you are. Every time you do that to a woman without her consent.
I enjoy non-con fantasies as much as the next guy, and I have no problem reconciling my fantasies with my morality in this regard, any more than I do when I slaughter my way through a computer game. There certainly are interesting psychological questions as to why so many people (liberals as well as conservatives!) enjoy playing with ideas of dominance and subjugation, and there's nothing in the world wrong with a consenting couple role-playing with such things. But the notion of spanking being used to reassert some sort of ancient patriarchy, where men literally beat women into their "proper place", utterly repulses me. I'm afraid that Taliban-esque attitudes like this probably explain a lot about why more people are not more open about their fetish.
