 If one is looking to treat a woman in an abusive manner, apparently
one has only to find a woman who loves, loves, loves _50 Shades of
Grey_

 Of course, for the purposes of a Mr. Grey stand-in, it doesn't really
matter if they started doing so before or after. And frankly, just on
literary grounds, anyone, male or female, who actually reads _50
Shades of Grey_ of their own free will and volition fully merits any
subsequent abuse that might happen to come their way.
