On fetish girls wheelchair stuck in mud:

Sexual Imagery of Physically Disabled Women: Erotic? Perverse? Sexist?
(Sexuality and Disability, 1999)

"Letty Cottin Pogrebin: "The concerns about sexual harassment affect all women."

Judy Heumann: "You know, I use a wheelchair, and when I go down the street I do not get sexually harassed. I hear non-disabled women complaining about it, but I don't ever get treated as a sexual object."

Letty Cottin Pogrebin: "You would hate it."

Fine and Asch summed up the responses of disabled women to the dialogue: "Try two weeks or thirty years without that sexual attention. Then tell us if you would hate getting some, even in the form of harassment." Fine and Asch correctly point out that "Denied the basic, if oppressive, gender-role prescriptions and offered nothing to replace them but often the worst of dead end jobs, disabled women have been without social role or gender-based value. Their anger at such deprivation uncomfortably reminds non-disabled women that sexual objectification is one vehicle by which at least heterosexual confirmation may be conveyed . . ."

... One underground community which has existed since the 1920s is comprised of mobility-impaired women and their devotees. A few magazines catering to devotees have been published. Now the Internet brings isolated individuals together into a community. A significant part of the commerce of devoteeism has been staked out by amputee women through the establishment of World Wide Web sites...

The second Web site, ASCOT WORLD is also kept by an amputee woman, and lists as many as thirty-six videos for sale. Many of these videos are of everyday life: weddings, volleyball, tennis, and shopping. Others move into the realm of erotica—women "stump rubbing" one another—a variation of a male fantasy of watching two women having sex? Here too, in this highly specialized supply and demand relationship, it appears that the disabled women are controlling the product."
