‘FIFTY SHADES OF GREY’ REVIEW: YOU’VE COME A LONG WAY, FEMINISTS

Breitbart's Big Hollywood ^ | February 13, 2015 | John Nolte

[Bratch]

Sitting through “Fifty Shades” was an ugly, disturbing and emotionally draining experience. It wasn’t the tiresome unsexy sex scenes (she’s always naked, he never is — where’s your feminist god now?) or the oppressively barren cinematography. What curdled my soul was being locked for two hours in a world that attempted to tell me that what I was seeing might be okay. That…

…liberation comes from male dominance

…feminism comes from submission to a man.

…being stalked is romantic.

…wanting to “fix” the man who wants to abuse you is romance.

…emotional manipulation can lead to love.

…physical abuse is making love.

[...]

Christian Grey is a predator who uses the trappings of his wealth, looks, and fame to manipulate an innocent young woman into consenting to abuse. To pretend that this kind of experience can in any way be healthy and liberating is sinister and twisted.

There’s a story to tell about a man like Christian Grey. It’s called “American Psycho.”

For some time it’s been glaringly obvious that modern, left-wing feminism is nothing more than a hoax designed by chauvinist men desperate to con women into believing that loveless, empty sex and being treated like garbage is the road to enlightenment.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” isn’t controversial or envelope pushing. It’s a pathetic rationalization created by the pathetic for the pathetic.

Feminists have gone from resenting having a man open a door for them to being okay with kneeling naked on all fours in front of that door until the man walks through it to physically abuse and emotionally degrade them. Congratulations…

You’ve come a long way, baby.

As a kid I would read everything in sight and used to skim novels that family members would have sitting around the house. You couldn’t legally film many of the scenes in those books. The common denominator in the most popular male and female porn is the use and objectification of women.

The difference is that in male porn the man is irrelevant and sometimes not even shown. In female porn the man is buff, important and/or rich. It seems most women want to be owned but only by a man they deem “worthy” of owning them. They won’t say it since it sounds nuts but it obviously turns them on.

If an ugly, poor man brought a girl to his trailer and wanted to do the things in this novel he would be a “creep” and “rapist”. But for an attractive billionaire with a penthouse, most will willingly put on the leash.

Yep, SOrry but I don’t see any reason to get any more upset about this than any other softcore porn thats already out. It pisses off the feminists and thats good enough for me.

Indeed but at what point does a woman expecting security from her prospective spouse become quid pro quo

Any woman this side of Megyn Kelly has a right to expect her man to have prospects....this goes back to the beginning
Historically speaking men expect sex...more sex...and companionship and a mommy to the product of their union

Women...should anyhow.....expect conscientious sex....as much as she needs which might be quite a bit if she has the baby bug......and companionship and security and a provider particularly if she is the mom....which I firmly believe she should be

These needs evolve with age there remains expectations and dependence

There is a reason the best zip codes usually have the highest concentrations of pretty women

I only think it’s an issue if a woman marries an ogre or someone she detests for his money

[wardaddy]

Freepers like it simple.....you know that

[wardaddy]

Men have always objectified women as in desire

Women objectify men too....just for different reasons

This is a tempest in a teapot

Yes our culture is in bad shape but this wasn’t the tipping point

The most indignant here will never see it or admit it

I have a feeling it’s tame compared to what’s at ones fingertips on your phone

The Secretary was kind of a dry odd take on this same theme which I found funny ..mildly erotic and even warm at the end

I do find the fembot panty knot over all this so amusing

We should do a poll....how many freeper wives or girlfriends have at some time gotten at a minimum a playful swat on their bare ass from their man/Husband

Now that would tickle me

Speaking of which......tickling.....erotic or verboten as work of Satan?

[rfreedom4u]

I haven’t seen an article yet that addresses the fact that Grey was molested numerous times as a kid by an older woman and still maintains contact with her. She is the one that introduced him to the S & M crap.

Yes, sad to say that I read the book.

[Guenevere]

What?

They escape their ordinary lives by watching an S &M movie...?

Seriously????

The people I know have better ways of encouragement for their ‘ordinary’ lives.......
....and would turn 50 shades of red if someone suggested this moviie.

I would feel such shame buying a ticket for this movie......wouldn’t you????

Dr. Laura tried as hard as she could, but she could never get through to the masses of women to convince them that FEMINISM IS A FRAUD.

It is quite possible that this movie will.

[Obadiah]

Shame? What’s that?

[Guenevere]

Exactly!

[bray]

This is what Marxist feminists want, a sugar daddy that will take care of them with no husband.

Pray America is waking

re: at what grade level is the writing?

Haven't read it nor care to, but National Review pegged it at grade school level. If there is any truth to Dave Barry's humorous review where he quotes from the novel, that would be accurate.

[Trillian]

That was a hilarious review! Crap! Double crap! LOL

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/fifty-shades-grey-cinema-staff-5169920

Three women were arrested after a man was attacked at a screening of Fifty Shades of Grey on Valentine’s Day.

It’s understood the victim was glassed when he asked a group of rowdy women to keep quiet.

You can couch the story in ANY set of circumstances as long as the MALE hero is a BILLIONAIRE and women reading the story can IMAGINE an INVOLVEMENT, no matter his character or integrity, with someone of that financial worth.
