eh. IMO the backlash against these books is just as ridiculous and overblown as the initial hype.

I'm all with ridiculing a book that's marketed as hot, scandalously naughty and liberating to women but refuses to spell out vagina.

However, I find it quite insulting to tell people that their fantasies of passiveness/loss of control and responsibility are harmful to them and society, a disgrace to womanhood, and that it's ok to shame or make fun of them for it.

I can’t really blame people for secretly wishing to be swept off of their feet on occasion, be they teenagers or any group of people under a lot of pressure.

It's escapist fantasy. They fantasize about their boyfriend taking all the difficult decisions for them. It does not mean they wouldn't realize in real life how that might be a shitty idea!

Fifty Shades spells out "vagina" sometimes. And "clitoris." Those parts just don't get quoted because they're not as mock-worthy.
