Because I am only looking at the way this novel will affect women, not men. As I stated before, this book is aimed towards women, so I wanted to see how the messages in this book can negatively affect them and their perspectives on casual sex. And because this book is written for women in the...

No, not misogynist at all. Another way I could also put it is that right-minded women would not expect more than sex out of a casual relationship and weak-minded men might do. I agree on that part, actually. Gender plays a big part in pornography. I also think it does in the case of this...

What do you mean? How does porn influence the way a man would view a casual relationship? Surely it shouldn't because no-strings-attached relationships are pretty much just sex anyway? Would women who watch porn be affected in the same way as you say that men do?

I feel your pain; it really is badly written. I nearly went crazy with the amount of times she said "holy shit!" nearly every few pages! Many women in abusive relationships may well have the opportunity to leave their abusive partners, but they will not because of the partner's...

Actually, I remember saying a SENSIBLE man would see through this. As such, I also believe a SENSIBLE woman would also not allow their lives and mode of conduct, as you said, to be influenced by it. I never said women are stupid and will always get the wrong message. 50 Shades of Grey is a...

To be honest with you, I think neither of them would be the case for a sensible man. A sensible man would see that the way Ana thinks is really not a good representation of the way a self-respecting woman would think. Though, some men might read this book and think this is the way to treat women...

I agree with what you've said. But I've wondered if it still could be called "abuse" if she's consented to it. She was also told so many times in this book by Christian that she could leave if she wanted to; so there were always so many opportunities to pull out if she were unhappy.

Again, I'm sure that not all women would be affected this way, but you can't guarantee that all women will think the same way about it.

I'm not saying all women will be affected by this book, but I'm pretty sure some women who are new to the concept of a CASUAL bdsm relationship might get the wrong idea from the book; that a CASUAL relationship will always end up in a happily ever after and that casual relationships are really...

What I mean is, a person reading this book may think that a casual relationship will go the way it does in the book, that by entering a casual relationship which may or may not include BDSM will end with them getting married and will be perfect. That is what I mean by "the wrong messages about a...

where one ideology is not the same as what may be a socially acceptable one. In this case, where the idea of casual sex from 50 Shades of Grey may not be agreed upon by the readers.
