'Fifty Shades of Grey' Supports Violence Against Women, Says Conservative MP Joy Smith

WINNIPEG - A Manitoba MP is calling for a boycott of "Fifty Shades of Grey," claiming the film supports humiliation, degradation and the emotional and physical abuse of women.

Joy Smith, a Conservative who represents a Winnipeg-area riding, says she hasn't seen the film herself.

But Smith says the depictions of bondage and sado-maschism in it encourage people to view violence against women as normal.

E.L. James, who wrote the popular "Fifty Shades of Grey" book trilogy, has said that whatever goes on in the books and the movie is safe and consensual.

Smith counters that she's worked for years with abuse victims, and that they often agree to degrading activities out of fear, or because they believe it's expected of them.

Smith says it's wrong that the movie was launched for Valentine's Day.

"This is not love. It is not a love story. It's a story of the abuse of women," Smith said Saturday in Winnipeg.

"When this happens to women, they hurt when they get whipped. They hurt when there's violence against them."

It figures Joy Smith the old prudish dried up lemon is sounding the alarm. She should hurry up and leave politics and mind her own business.

Note the remarks from readers...I think the Cons are in for a rude awakening come the fall of 2015


 
The ladies I've talked to have said the movie was a bit of a letdown as it was not nearly as sensuous as they had hoped or expected. They did say the director did an amazing job, but that overall it was not as good as hoped. Of course, that's based on only four or five female reviews...any of the ladies here been to see it and care to comment?

It sounds like Harper's MP's are planning to jump ship like fleas off a dead camel too.

BDSM in Canada is 50 shades of legal grey

BDSM in Canada is 50 shades of legal grey

With the help of the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon, bondage, domination and sadomasochism have hit the mainstream. Yet the practice of BDSM is largely misunderstood and falls into a legal grey zone.

Under current Canadian law a person cannot consent to physical harm, says University of Toronto law professor Brenda Cossman, though there are a few obvious exceptions.

Activities that are seen to have broad social value are considered acceptable, which is why many sports allow participants to hit and hurt other participants. Boxing and hockey are good examples of this. Tattooing, piercing and other kinds of body modification are also accepted because they are seen to have cultural value. But BDSM isn't given the same legal consideration as sports or body-mods.

"Bodily harm is defined as something that interferes with the health and comfort of a person that is more than transient or trifling," says Cossman. "So someone being whipped and there are bruises left, that would fall under the definition of bodily harm -- so it would be assault causing bodily harm."

In Canada, even if the adults participating consent to BDSM-related activity, the courts have ruled that the initial consent is vitiated by the fact that there was physical harm involved.

In 1995, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in a case called R. vs. Welch that, even if the victim had consented, "when the activity in question involves pursuing sexual gratification by deliberately inflicting pain upon another that gives rise to bodily harm, then the personal interest of the individuals involved must yield to the more compelling societal interests which are challenged by such behaviour."

For her part, Cossman argues that the law has no business in the bedrooms of the nation if the activity between adults is clearly consensual. "I want to draw a big fat red line between consent and non-consent, and that if the intimate activity is consensual I want the criminal law out," she says.

While statistics measuring sexual practices are hard to come by, the loose consensus is that about one in 10 people in North America have at one time or another engaged in some form of BDSM activity -- from spanking or tying up a partner, to whipping or full body suspension. The Kinsey Institute, at the University of Indiana, has reported that one in 20 adults regularly engage in BDSM.

BDSM educator and PhD student Andrea Zanin points out that law enforcement generally doesn't busy itself "targeting the kinky people." She underscores that for any kind of sex, and for BDSM in particular, communication and ongoing consent are key. "For me, consent is a basic," says Zanin. "Consent is 'do you want to do X?' and if the answer is ‘yes', that's consent. "But that's a starting point in BDSM and sex in general," she says. "It's important to have a 'yes' that's not just a technical agreement, but a 'yes' that's informed, 'yes' that is enthusiastic and, ongoing, a 'yes' that is competent."

Cossman adds that the case law around consent to harm within a BDSM context is subject to change. It may well take another court case to sort out where the legal grey zone ends.

On the radio the other morning they were talking about S&M, and a guy called in. He said "My wife and I have been married for 15 years, and for the last two years we've been really into S&M. She sleeps, I masturbate." :biggrin2:
