“It’s easy to dismiss all romance novels as harmless, trivial nonsense, but in fact, the fantasies they conjure up have been shown to have negative psychological and financial effects.”

I personally don’t like this article, but it mentions a few things I’ve been meaning to talk about: namely, the way 50 Shades attempts to normalize abuse and how it portrays childish behavior in a sexual way. Worth a read, if only as a springboard to more in-depth thought.
