Why do birds go nuts for them? As if the Twilight baws wasn't enough, there's now the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. Birds (usually those who are serially single and cry when they get pumped n dumped) are lapping these books up - going on about how the main character is "so direct and forceful" blah blah blah. These books have been characterised as "Mummy Porn" and by the Guardian as "Clit-lit". Does the success of ****e books where an essentially evil main character who treats women badly but shags **** oot of them just prove that no matter how much they protest... ...women want a dependable man to marry them.. ...but they want a bastard to wreck their ****ters at the same time? So, to conclude, all women are contrary ****sluts who will never be happy - if you **** the **** out of them, they want the sideboard mended, if you **** the **** out of them and then mend the sideboard anyway, they'll lust after an imaginary bad boy with whom they run the risk of being killed while getting podgered. QED Any objections?
Wimmin enjoy a rich sexual fantasy life. Get her to tell ye about it while she slowly ****s ye off. It's rather a pleasant way to spend an evening.
These sorts of books pander to the rape fantasy directed at women. If in the book went "And Wendy was walking home late one night and some smelly tramp punched her face in, breaking her nose and dropping her to the ground where she was kicked in the guts and had her minge ruined" it wouldn't sell many copies. However "Wendy had never felt such exquisite pain and pleasure at the same time. While Eric pierced her ivory white skin with his fangs she felt a rush of heat between her legs which spread across her body and with each pump of her heart the blood gushed into his mouth as her orgasm overwhelmed her virgin body" Version one - Wendy is in pain, blood everywhere, gets pumped - but is a vile attack Version two - Wendy is in pain, blood everywhere, gets pumped - all romantic and the teenage emo chick flicks the bean while reading it The main character often turns out to be a bird who somehow overcomes the evil, but always handsome, vampire finishing off with a stake through him (reverse penetration fantasy) and she decides men are all bastards and decices to be a lesbian instead (lipstick lesbian fantasy). Same sh1t, different cover.
all womans books are basically the same. inane ****e. went on holiday, met a pretty man, he likes someone else, win him over, pump, live happily ever after. add a liberal sprinkling of swears to make it sound "edgey" the end.
Somehow you always managed to articulate my thoughts bib. It's a talent, you should be my spokesman (or solicitor)
I should probably be clear that my missus disnae read any of the books in question She's too much of a literature snob to admit it, anyway. She, like all women has a Mr Darcy fetish, though - again, him being a prick seems to be part of the attraction. I actually quite like GR's scenario1, scenario2 explanation as well. If rape was re-classifed to "rough ravishing", I reckon nobody would prosecute. Basically, women are shallow.
It's the Martina Cole books that do my nut in. I'm fairly sure all her books contain either physical or sexual abuse aimed at children I really don't know what would make any woman want to read that dodgy ****.
Vampires have the right idea Pick a woman, suck the blood out of her and then leave her, with the occasional bonus of her eternal service Just watch out for crazy men holding big phallic symbols
It's the same with Catherine Cookson books too, they are always set in turn of the century England and feature the same tired old plot lines; Poor Daisy Dishcloth from somewhere suitably "oop North" starts off as a peasant/dirt poor/orphan (or all three) and has to find work in order to keep her polio crippled little brother out of the work house. Goes to the big town, gets her ring busted by the son of the lord of the manor (has a bastard offspring or becomes infertile depending on what week the author knocks out the book), swears vengence and through a series of unfortunate events and one or two dubious plot twists ends up head of an international conglomerate and gets enough clout to send the son of the lord of the manor to the gallows or deported to Australia. Throw in a couple of bent over the back of the chaise lounge or humped in a barn scenes to get the ladies a bit frothy and you have a winner. Awful dross.
