Fifty Shades of Crud
With half the population supposedly fantasising about being seriously ravaged by an eccentric billionaire, can we start to imagine what the film industry would be like in a world of equal gender relations?
Like, something along the lines of twenty-eight year old virgin meets rich heiress. Rich heiress convinces no-longer virgin to nail his scrotum to a tree and then drink heiresses urine if they are to remain an item.
Doesn't sound too much like the average mainstream offering, does it? Perhaps the plot to some dark and disturbing independent film, intended unwittingly to offend Middle Class sensibilities. Presumably, because men are supposed to be doing the punishing, perhaps as a way of creating the perpetual female virgin if we see sadomasochism alongside the breaking of the hymen? And men are supposed to fantasise about being Batman.
