"To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo. It's often said that men use women. Use them for what? Surely not pleasure."

So spaketh Valerie Solanis, authoress of the SCUM Manifesto, a tract about the uselessness of men and how women must overthrow the tyranny of the male sex. I think a lot of the things she said were, of course, complete and utter bullshit. But as a performance piece, it's fascinating.

That's kind of the jumping-off place for the Urban Chick Supremacy Cell, a site that seeks to begin to rip apart some of the tropes of FemDom and expose a raw, angrier alternative. No longer is the male submissive held apart as weak and useless, but all men:

"Have you ever wondered what your Mistress gets up to when you aren’t around? Do you fear that the dominant, cruel persona that seduced you with her BDSM games and sadism, stops as soon as she has kicked the last groveling slave from under her feet? You are wrong."

This is made to be interesting femdom content while also retaining a propaganda-like atmosphere, and I think it does a pretty good job of that. I love the shots of Ms. Tytania in a balaclava. I wish, as always, that there were more images of sexy men in here, but the site is relatively new so give it time. At least with the aesthetic of this is makes sense to have the occasional male-face-obscured-by-skimask thing, since they're usually hostages.

Ms. Tytania is a London-based prodomme as well as the creator of this concept. While the clothing she wears is meant to suggest a female skinhead (or skynbyrd) there's no racist content or hate speech. Instead, there are videos, photos, and even an audio clip that together make up this dystopian site. The members area has some more polished material, while the free part gives you a quick glance at what's in store.

"Do you think you are hard, you sports loving, testoserone fuelled muscle mary? The sparring urban Chick, in gloves and boxing vest and shorts, will show you how wrong you are." 

I do like that there's not that horrible trope of "you're not a real man". The men shown here are city boys and sports lovers who are there to address, via their flesh, their crimes of complicity in the patriachy- and sissification gets called out in several videos as being anti-feminist and misogynist, which made me a little gleeful.

Fleshbot compared UCSC to Kink.com, an interesting comparison:

I see them as pretty different, personally. I mean, I have conflicted feelings on this concept- I love the idea, but I worry that it's another brick in the wall devaluing male submissives. Though I should clarify, I don't think it may cast a scornful eye on male submissives, but rather male submission. That said, while I don't believe in female supremacy, I kinda enjoy the whole "here's your privilege, suck on THAT" idea! Is it forced feminism? Well, it can be taken that way, and as a fantasy thing, it works for me.

I wonder if what makes the difference for me is the disclaimer:

The UC-SC is a creative project created by  female visual artists and film makers based in UK. Its purpose is to cast a sexy, ironic but critical commentary on radical political philosophy, both current and historical, and on its formal discourse, language and themes. 

The UC-SC is a commentary on pornography, its conventions and discourse; also on the adult industry, on the gender roles and stereotypes and on the role of women in it. Last but not least, it is an ironic glance at some schools of feminism.

The disclaimer suggests an awareness of what they're doing that I think makes for good, interesting porn. I also know that the women involved have a deep love and appreciation for male submission, which helps me, personally, enjoy the site as sexual satire. And I am deeply grateful for anything that breaks the shell of the ProDomme, only-here-for-the-money archetype- cold, high femme, immaculate, corseted. The Urban Chick Supremacy Cell is gritty, punk, and pissed off, and the women running it are whipsmart feminists with a healthy sense of humour and a true desire to Domme. Plus I love the idea artistically, it made me giggle.

How can I not love a site that has a video entitled "sheer stockings ripped with hunting knife"? It's a visual taking apart of the "ideal Femdom" trope. Or the way they rip into the whole "sissy" concept to address the fact that it's insulting women. Or sentences used in the videos like “Now I’ll give you back all the shit and rubbish you’ve been fed by patriarchal capitalism, you smug subjected male". Or this:

"Fed up of the oppressive Mistress attire, she cuts her impratical red fingernails and paints them black. The revolution starts in the boudoir!"

Start your revolution here.
