"Either millions of women (and some henpecked, kowtowing men) will run off to watch this [movie]..."
Wow. So, if a husband does something that he doesn't really want to do, just because he knows it will make his wife happy, he's henpecked and kowtowing? Good to know. Why do I think it's safe to assume that this guy thinks that a wife doing something that she doesn't really want to do, just because she knows it will make her husband happy, is the definition of a Godly woman?
Also, I'd bet every dollar I have ever or will ever make that most, if not all, of his blog posts that are based on interactions with people never happened anywhere other than in his head.
ETA: And I'm only linking to our discussions about him because I will not give that jackoff a click.

I actually disagree with this statement: It doesn’t need to be told and it isn’t a story. It’s loveless sex and degradation. No narrative, no message, no redemption. If that’s all you want, you’ll find plenty of it at the strip club down the street. (from his blog post in the OP)
I will admit that I read all three books. Part of the series IS about redemption - it's about how Christian is damaged from his childhood. He was abused as a child and has mommy issues, thus the submissives that he gets all look like his mother. And that what is her face (the main female character) is finally the only person who can make him feel safe, yadda yadda yadda. But the point of it is that Christian Gray does actually love the female lead - as opposed to his previous female submissives - and how the two of them explore their relationship. She actually pushes back against some of the things that he wants her to do and challenges him to change his understanding of how he can relate to women and partner (in some ways) with them.
At least that was what I got after reading all three books....
