"What I found alarming about Fifty Shades of Grey was the overlap
between my experience as an abuse victim and the specific way the
audience was being conditioned to accept Christian as a romantic lead."

Among the many problems with "50 Shades", this is probably the biggest:
 It normalises abuse and the continuing myth that this kind of behaviour
is somehow romantic.  That is incredibly harmful to everyone, regardless
of gender.  Via Jon Swabey.
