50 Shades of Gray - Fun fact.

One of the coolest things I just became aware of is the book, 50 Shades of Gray, is one of the most wildly popular books of all time.  It appears to be a story about a man who sexually takes advantage of a young college graduate and BDSM is the flavor of the man's sexual tastes.  It appears that at then end of the book the guy has to beat her for her to understand that they are not compatible?  Being the fourth-highest-grossing R-rated film of all-time it was released in 2015.  Here's the fun fact.  The popularity of this story about a man dominating a woman physically and sexually happens at roughly the same time as Donald Trump is running for the presidency of the United States.  This book and the movie are mega phenomena during a time of "moral outrage" against a so called "misogynistic" presidential candidate who grabs women by their pussies.

Jordan Peterson observed and noted the inconsistency:
Yeah, I don't understand it either.
