Watch this excellent commentary on the disconnect between the age of #MeToo when 50 Shades is the top film at the box office. Maher walks you through the mixed messages from Hollywood Rom Coms and the reality that human beings have complicated relationships. Hilarious and spot on.

Totally agree. And the people constantly supporting something like this while wearing pussy hats is just strange to me.

S&M isn't the theme of a rom-com, op.

How old are you? Are you familiar with romance novels from the 80s? Bodice rippers involving lots of nonconsensual sex. Women still knew how to have healthy, respectful relationships.

Fantasies are nothing new. Nor are they representative of actual or desired relationships.

Did you watch the Maher segment, Dummy?

He discusses 50 Shades then moves on to go through the 3 main themes of all Rom Coms. He also manages to include what most consider a sexy scene from Rocky.

Um...I know.

Are you people even bothering to watch the clip? His point is that all of this is more complicated than the #MeToo witch hunt.

The PP who commented on the irony of 50 Shades fans who sport pussy hats gets it.

It’s like men with porn, it’s fantasy and adults know the difference.

You obviously misunderstand irony, consent, fantasy, or all three.

You obviously don't understand Maher. That's okay. He's pretty high-brow.

Wow, you're mature.

Maher is not a particularly insightful or funny person for that matter. Movies of all kinds follow the same plot structure. This is common knowledge even if you and bill mahar don't realize it. 50 shades is fantasy and not particularly good fantasy:

1. S&M isn't romance; it's a sexual fetish.
2. S&M involves consent.
3. Sexual harassment is only confusing to self absorbed, smarmy, creepy individuals like Harvey Weinstein, Bill O'Reilly, and apparently Bill Mahar.

What's your point?

Plus, news flash, movies aren't real--they're movies.

So because its just a movie or book its fine? By definition wouldn't pedophilia also be perfectly acceptable then?
