I am a willing participant in a BDSM relationship.
50 Shades of Grey is not a representation of a mutually consenting, respectful BDSM relationship.
The man gets drunk, comes home, and angrily beats his wife. He’s portrayed with a need to be dominant that stems from his childhood abuse.
The author of these novels has no experience in D/s relationships. And as a result, a lot of women who have no experience in D/s relationships are considering this MaryJane rape fantasy an acceptable relationship.
50 Shades was a Twilight fanfiction at its start. That’s right. A Twilight fanfiction written by a woman in her 40s.
