I remember when I read them I kept hoping she'd stand up for herself, but it never happened. If I'd known them what they were fan fiction of I'd have known better than to expect it. I hated the twilight books because of how they romanticized Edward and his insane controlling behavior and they romanticized Jacob forcing her into kissing him. That is abuse, it is molestation and it's disgusting. If I had known these were fan fiction of that, I never would have read them. I just got a lot of recommendations at the office, so I read them. It made me physically sick, I was married to that guy and it was hell. And it doesn't end happily ever after. It ends with him trying to kill you.

Sorry. To reiterate the rest... I was cheering for A in your ending. I have not seen much post movie raving (there was certainly tons before hand).

I'm glad you re-posted it here, because to be honest, that other blog entry has had so many comments that it's pretty much impossible to keep up and reply to them all, even though I want to! So I'm especially pleased to be able to read this one and I agree wholeheartedly - Fifty Shades romanticises abuse. And that can never be right.mrsmanicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09894116750061022896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966316529291694099.post-7707022099584892152015-02-15T04:33:36.624+00:002015-02-15T04:33:36.624+00:00I stumbled onto this blog and stayed to read the &...I stumbled onto this blog and stayed to read the "rant" about Fifty Shades that was so well done. The responses were mostly well thought out as well. I tried to leave this comment with the article where you dissected the books, rather the book and a half but was unsuccessful. (Happens to me sometimes when I am trying to leave a comment. Something about my wordpress blog.) <br />But I want to thank you for a thoughtful dissection of these books. I, too, read them. I read all of them, all the way through. These books detail a severely abusive relationship where a man is in total control of the woman through intimidation, violence, economics, emotional and mental abuse. <br />Abuse is NOT romantic. Healthy relationships, whether or not they include BDSM, allow BOTH parties to maintain ultimate control of their own bodies and lives; allow the maintenance of relationships with people outside of their primary relationship; allows and fosters growth of both parties. <br />Domestic violence ISOLATES the victim. The ABUSER maintains all of the control of both of them. All relationships outside of the victim's relationship with the abuser is cut off in one way or another. The abuser NEVER accepts responsibility. Whatever bad happens is always the victim's fault. <br />Fifty Shades is a trilogy that applauds domestic violence, and rape.<br />You are a brave woman to stand up and speak out. It is time to end the silence that only allows rape to be normalized. <br />Love your ending of the Fifty Shades trilogy! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04881027980385924740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966316529291694099.post-27430876526550096972015-02-14T14:09:17.269+00:002015-02-14T14:09:17.269+00:00If only!
