Calls have been made for a boycott of the film Fifty Shades of Grey, which is opening in the UK>
Women’s groups say the movie – based on the hugely popular EL James novels – normalises and “eroticises” sexual violence.
A senior figure at Rape Crisis Glasgow has said people should refuse to see the film, and instead spend the money saved on making a donation to an anti-abuse charity.
However, fans of the Fifty Shades series – and there are millions – say they are harmless escapism, a bit of kinky fun.
What do you think? Does Fifty Shades of Grey promote abuse and sexual violence or is it a bit of harmless escapism?
