Re: Rape Fantasies and...Rape Apologism?

I'd speculate that older women are as likely (if not more) to have rape fantasies. The reason those studies are only college-aged women is because those are where most studies are done. But the huge audience of middle aged women for 50 Shades of Grey shows that older women do enjoy the whole ravishment/BDSM/rape fantasy thing.

That's what I said, but then they kept bringing up anecdotal evidence of how NO ONE they knew liked Fifty Shades and how they had only bought it because it was popular and for so-bad-it's-good.

And then they went on and on about how the film was going to tank and I was just thinking of how, despite the fact that it's crap, it has HUGE advance ticket sales and the books had sold over 100 million copies.

I have 4 female coworkers who LOVE the books and plan on seeing the movie. I downloaded the audiobook of all 3 books for one of them so she could relisten to it at work.

I don't know your friends, OP, but it kinda sounds like they did like it but are ashamed to admit it and are being a bit overly defensive about it.

Yeah, I don't know about this. Something about protesting too much and all that.

It's getting bad reviews, people are laughing at it, but it's also going to make a shit ton of money and the sequels are going to be made. The ones who don't like it as an example of badly written fanfic, purely for the id, we're just going to have to scrunch down in our seats and wait for the whole thing to blow over. Much like with Twilight.
