StoryEnjoyer:
Not really sure what I would be in as a feedee, I am not sure if I would be dominant or submissive, in my minds eye I think it is somewhat neutral a bit of both.
Munchies:
Not all feedists are dominant or submissive. In fact, a good chunk exist outside of power play.

I feel like I notice a trend, maybe it’s younger people, or more online people, or just life in post 50-Shades world, of folks trying to shoehorn every relationship into a dom/sub power dynamic, which is just kinda funny to me.
Not sure how old you are, but this is hardly anything new. In fact, if you scroll through a lot of older feedist community posts (like Dimensions) you'll see that this kind of thinking is quite old. You and I know that being a feedist isn't inherently part of power play. But there's always been a sizeable chunk of the community that sees it that way.
Look at a lot of the older feedist media. Feeders tend to be coded as doms and feedees tend to be coded as subs. It's so ingrained in people's minds that anything outside of this dynamic is transgressive. In fact, if you look at some BDSM spaces, a lot of people think feedism is an aspect of power play.
It's not. I cannot emphasize how much it's not. But this is a mindset that's developed from the earliest days of the community and cemented by the mainstream not knowing what they're talking about.
