Blood sucking and hard f…you know what I mean


“Sweetheart you are not Anastasia Steele. Becoming his bitch will not make him love you. 50 Shades of Grey is an adult version of twilight. If you think his your Christian Grey you may as well believe he drinks blood and sparkles.” – A.A

It makes me nervous. I’ve read all four twilight books as well as all three of the 50 Shades of Grey. I’m 21. Some may believe I’m too young to read 50 Shades, and there’s a part of me that agrees. Girls that are 16 are reading it and using it as a guide to find love. There’s a living breathing example on my facebook friends list. A young girl, recently turned 18, made a deal to sleep with a 38 year old divorced, Christian man with four kids. She fell in love and is now a young Muslim girl in love with a much older ugly man because she read 50 shades and she believes that this man will be her Grey. He’s her fucked up fifty that she wants to save and she’s his little slutty Ana. She literally calls him ‘Sir’!!! Not only did she ruin a perfectly good fictional story for me; she also made me spit coffee all over my friends face with her facebook status'.

Christian Grey is a man with a complex character, deep seeded issues that are realistic, but the way he deals with them, and her is unrealistic. A man like that isn’t always lucky enough to turn out relatively normal, which is what he is. Real life is harsh. A man THAT possessive, needy, over protective, and controlling as Edward Cullen or Christian Grey is usually abusive (they might not even realize it). 

After I read twilight and 50 I didn’t go around looking for a shiny hungry man or S and M. Why is it that girls do?

I believe that if you look for either of them, you aren't emotionally intelligent enough to be reading those books. Only emotionally sane and rational people know that all those qualities don't exist without serious consequences. Whats worse is that young adults think its okay to advertise the fact that they like and are looking for sex from older domineering men. Even THEY get boyfriends! Oh well...on the bright side at least they're getting laid.
