DON’T see Fifty
Shades of Grey.
Get informed, learn the facts, and explain to your
friends why they shouldn’t see it either.
Here are a few of the dangerous ideas promoted by Fifty
Shades of Grey:
1. Girls want guys like Christian who order them around
and get rough.
No! A psychologically healthy
woman avoids pain. She wants to feel safe, respected and cared for by
a man she can trust. She dreams about wedding gowns, not handcuffs.
2. Guys want a girl like Anastasia who is meek and
insecure.
Wrong. A psychologically healthy man
wants a woman who can stand up for herself. If he is out of line, he
wants her to set him straight.
3. Anastasia exercises free choice when she consents to being
hurt, so no one can judge her decision.
Flawed logic. Sure, Anastasia had free
choice – and she chose poorly. A self-destructive decision is a bad decision.
4. Anastasia makes choices about Christian in a
thoughtful and detached manner.
Doubtful. Christian constantly supplies
Anastasia with alcohol, impairing her judgment. Also, Anastasia becomes
sexually active with Christian – her first experience ever – soon after meeting
him. Neuroscience suggests their intimacy could jump start her feelings of attachment
and trust, before she’s certain he deserved them. Sex is a powerful
experience – particularly the first time.
Finally, Christian manipulates Anastasia into signing an agreement prohibiting
her from telling anyone that he is a long time abuser.
Alcohol, sex, manipulation – hardly the ingredients of a
thoughtful, detached decision.
5. Christian’s emotional problems are cured by
Anastasia’s love.
Only in a movie. In the real world,
Christian wouldn’t change to any significant degree. If Anastasia was fulfilled
by helping emotionally disturbed people, she should have become a psychiatrist
or social worker.
6. It’s good to experiment with sexuality.
Maybe for adults in a healthy, long term, committed,
monogomous relationship, AKA “marriage”. Otherwise, you’re at high risk
for STDs, pregnancy, and sexual assault. It’s wise to be very careful who you
allow to get close to you, physically and emotionally, because just one
encounter can throw you off track and change your life forever.
The bottom line: the ideas of Fifty Shades of Grey are
dangerous, and can lead to confusion and poor decisions about
love. There are vast differences between healthy and unhealthy
relationships, but the movie blurs those differences, so you begin to
wonder: what’s healthy in a relationship? What’s sick? There are so many
shades of grey…I’m not sure.
Listen, it’s your safety and future we’re talking about
here. There’s no room for doubt: an intimate relationship that includes
violence, consensual or not, is completely unacceptable.
This is black and white. There are no shades of grey
here. Not even one.
Excerpt; woman.ng
One should be ecstatic when you’re in the arms of the one
you love. A lot has changed in that sentence owning to wrong information, pressures,
comparison, insecurity, low self esteem etc.
Fifty Shades of Grey is a movie that has a lot of people
puzzled around the world, many have given their verdicts; this movie is sending
out erroneous messages on what relationships should look like but I have
something different to say in all these;
1.
Some relationships have degenerated to
the scenes in that movie.
2. We are living in denial and defeat that
it is impossible to walk out of a bad/unhealthy relationship.
3. The movie portrayed the wrong dependence on
CERTAIN people; find OUT WHAT DEFINES the individual before you get yourself
involved in any relationship.
4. Not many people know how to suffer well
with one another, I rather follow the ancient paths that leads to the eternal
highway and that’s the unconditional LOVE that’s pure, suffers long, do no one
wrong, patient and more!!!
