The book Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James gives out the idea that men have an evil mindset and should dominate and control women. It also gives the idea that women want to be controlled. Even worse, this book was made into a movie that will show even more men this unhealthy relationship and teach them that women want to be controlled and dominated and that men are expected to do so. This could lead to very aggressive and violent behavior when these men enter real…
