It doesn't matter which gender is doing the domination. I want to put my head in the sand until this all blows over. And I will!GowitheFlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842273685414939160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1511512682838809760.post-45962338537565972442015-02-16T17:49:05.660-05:002015-02-16T17:49:05.660-05:00I just remember all the yelling and demonstrations...I just remember all the yelling and demonstrations in the street, back in the 60's and 70's when Gloria and Bella were telling us to be equal. "Get out of your house and get a job...a career. Get away from male domination." And now, these same young women and/or daughter's that fought so hard for equality or going to see this awful movie that shows women being dominated and degraded? If they only realized that sex is so much better when it comes from a deep emotional level of trust and respect!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1511512682838809760.post-89100759733497071532015-02-16T13:32:18.215-05:002015-02-16T13:32:18.215-05:00Well said.

Since writing that post I've been online reading comments on the movie review sites. Thankfully there are a lot of people who are also appalled at the mainstreaming of S&M and bondage and marketing it as if it should be an acceptable part of a couple's love making. To me, it's setting the Woman's Movement back, to teach young women it's okay to give a guy the right to whip or spank you into submission, to tie you up, etc. Some people on the review sites said it wasn't abuse because Mr. Grey always asked for permission to escalate to the next step and to that I say, "Oh, give me a break!" If a woman's self-esteem is so low that she feels she needs to be punished or that she deserves it, then the last thing she needs is to have that feeling "validated" by a man who is clearing taking advantage of her. Unfortunately, they are going to be making two more sequels because the box office sales blew off the roof. I keep thinking about those three girls in Cleveland that were held captive. How can we teach young men it's okay to use bondage in one situation but not in others? They get it in writing on a check off sheet? Ya, sure, "Sign it bitch or I'll beat you some more."
