British Women Divorces Husband Because of Fifty Shades of Grey

The Huffington Post reported that a women divorced her husband because he would not act out parts of the novel Fifty Shades of Gray. This article struck me because even though I have not read this novel, I know it includes very violent, sexual scenes that can be considered rape. The relationship between the two characters is controlling and abusive. It puzzles me that a women is willing to throw a marriage down the drain because her husband refuses to treat her in bad way. This is just a little part of a much bigger issue. Women are flocking to the bookstore to read this trilogy but it is essentially about a good-looking wife beater. At the end of the day, it is a piece of fiction but the author E.L. James makes women look weak and just as a sexual object.
