Recently on talk shows there has been a certain amount of upstanding feminist tsk-tsking about the retrograde soft-core exploitation of women in Fifty Shades of Grey, and there seem to be no shortage of liberal pundits asking, \u201cIs this what they went to the barricades for?\u201d \u2026<\/p>\n

It is perhaps inconvenient for feminism that the erotic imagination does not submit to politics, or even changing demographic realities<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Katie Roiphe for Newsweek. Seriously though what the fuck is she even talking about? What \u201cupstanding feminist\u201d has been tsk-tsking Fifty Shades of Grey for it\u2019s sexual content?<\/p>\n

All I\u2019ve read is people taking the book to task for its atrocious and funny bad writing. I don\u2019t exactly live in a cave.\u00a0<\/p>\n

(via bricksandmortarandchewinggum<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Katie Roiphe is a living testament to the power of nepotism, because I assure you that had her mother not also been a published writer, Roiphe would be spewing her barely coherent nonsense on blogs and tumblrs like the rest of us.<\/p>\n

(via whynotshesaid<\/a>)<\/p>\n

What amazed me about the article (well, amazed might not be the right word, more like “how I realized I was in the presence of the usual nonsense”) was how bland and ultimately \u00a0ordinary her “analysis” was. I know I can mention intersectionality until the cows come to graze in my living room, but really, there wasn’t even a half hearted attempt at any of it in this piece. And to make matters even more hilariously misguided, the “analysis” of the fetish part itself was incredibly narrow and lacked the most basic nuance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s like the least interesting writer was offered the topic she knew the least about and for which she had the least interest in researching a bare minimun. And bam, that’s the piece we got at Newsweek.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
