You should read the article. It makes much more sense than the excerpt. And they are saying that Ana being “21” is not accurate, the book really describes a young girl. They make a compelling argument, in my opinion
I did read the article and it goes beyond a leap of logic. The book doesn’t describe a young girl, it describes a “dominant” training a “submissive”. Period. They completely misunderstand the concept of domination and submission in “50 shades” and use it as a wind mill to tilt against with all the myopia of Don Quixote. Far from a compelling argument, it misses the entire concept of the book, which is to present a well established fetish (BDSM) in alluring way to the general public.
