The film 50 Shades of Grey contains depictions of controversial sexual relationships that might be considered rape. As you know, if you show something on a screen this means you endorse it. Therefore I'm calling on all of you to donate $50 to a shelter for women or endangered primates or whatever.
Books like these probably do very real damage to a healthy realization of informed consent between those who want to finally approach and/or attempt the process of letting their partner know how aberrant and loathsome their carnal desires really are.

No one has a obligation to see any movie, and certainly not a fantasy of erotized bourgeois wealth.

Actually some of the boring countries have already censored it. I know they don't count but still.

Consent only matters when it's not with fictional Chad. Why would a woman think: I have the power to tell him to stop at any time when she's already with the man who is written to be her ideal in every way? The possibility of rape is nullified by all criteria for rejection being ruled out from the start.

Good for them. But that's not what you offered for discussion in the OP. You were instead asking us to consider an idea put forward by a coalition of female victim advocacy organizations .

I endorse their boycott. I'm not giving them money though obviously. I'm going to use my money to buy kindle books about Freudomarxism.

Fair enough....Make sure you spend it on the good stuff though!

Very West German and burgerlich, but he does push Reich's line of thought to the point of undermining despite himself the romantic-libertarian notion of freedom which both sees fascism everywhere and finds itself continually creating the conditions for which fascism will be seen as the solution.
no, i haven't heard of him.
Ideologiekritik-based studies of paperbacks written for the “masses” show the same tendencies. They don’t give any thought to the thrills that run through the body of a woman reading a hospital romance; they merely find the errors in her thinking. (italics mine) Yet what the masses (all of us, that is) suffer most from are “false” feelings, feelings that are perverted, alienated from their goals, and turned into their opposites. The real problem isn’t that shopgirls have incorrect views about God and doctors. The real problem is that our bodies cramp up when they try to feel pleasure; sweat breaks out where love should; our soft, erect members become unsatisfied bones; our desire to penetrate another person’s body becomes a lethal act; and contact between two sets of skin, two bodies, produces tension, dirt, and death, instead of release, purification and rebirth."
— From Male Fantasies Klaus Theweleit
What is, on the one hand, humane, critical, and profound in his project and what, on the other hand, is risible (and masculinist) vitalist romanticism, is here summed up in one passage.
