You know me, I Love just about anything that makes people want to read! When the 50 Shades Of Grey Books came out, I knew right away they were not my kind of Books. I knew a lot of people who read them and loved them! I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "You have to read 50 Shades!" But, I know Books, and I know my taste in them. I did my research and I knew they were not for me!
Here is my main reason; I have two teen aged Daughters (and two young adult Sons, for that matter) and I have raised them all to understand that it is Never, Under Any Circumstance, alright for a man to hit a woman! Least of all being, for some twisted form of sexual gratification!
Though I have not read the books, I have read summaries, excerpts, and Book Reviews (both good & bad) And to be honest with you, I just don't understand how so many women and mothers think this is okay. I get that its fantasy, but this idea that all women really want is to be controlled, is absurd! Ask any woman living in a shelter, what it really feels like to be controlled, the reality is not romantic in the least!
I'm all about Girl Power! Not giving that Power away to anyone!
Violence Against Women Is Not Sexy!
Real men Love & Cherish the woman they love! And That is Sexy!
Excellent thoughts, Starlet* !!!!!
ReplyDeleteAmen and amen Star!!!
ReplyDeleteI did read the first one but not 2 or 3. I agree with you on this matter. It is never ok to hit woman or man. And I for sure am not one to be controlled.
ReplyDeleteMakes me very happy to know there are parents ink you who teach your kids about love the right way.
