There’s many graphic reviews of this book on GoodReads.com from young women who don’t fit your “feminist prudes want butch women” model. Some women object to the female’s stupidity and weakness. Some lament the popularization of beatings and humiliation. It’s not just “bad people” object, “open minded” people tolerate.
Some of us have time in our day to worry about more than the top 3 influences on our society so I will skip your “advice” on what should concern me. This book sold 100 million copies and is going on to be a big movie venture. It’s on the radar of many people, it’s not some little cultural drop in the bucket. It’s a new, popular low point.
The only reason its as popular as it is is because of all the controversy. Its not like its fans are going to throw a pride parade down mainstreet. All in all its pretty obvious FSG is escapist sexual fantasy and roleplaying not meant as some feelgood book of morals for little children. The person who is weakminded enough to mistakenly take it as such probably isn’t going to have an easy life in any case. There is plenty of leftwing activism actively trying to intrude upon our lives but many conservatives/’libertarians’ would rather try to wrestle some adult lady’s book away along with the liberals.
