I find males sickeningly gross, when they assume that a woman is supposed to have a submissive role, whether sexually or socially, especially without even asking her. They're repulsive. I don't know what else to say about it right now.

And the part where he said people think feminism is about choice. I thought more about that idea in general (not specific to bdsm):

I think what's toxic about considering feminism to be about choice, is that the narrative has become that it's only about choice and nothing else. Like feminism has become limited to what shade of lipstick you want to wear, and that's expected to be the end of it.

Maybe the idea should be, that we do need choice, but that's only one aspect. We need a lot more than just that. We need safety. And we need the same amount of resources as males have, opportunities and education, rights, and to not be degraded. And other things.
