    Hello Elizabeth

    This is a link to a 30 minute interview by Pr Todd Wilken with Dr. Miriam Grossman who is offering a guide for parents regarding this movie. The interview done on Issues Etc is quite good and there is a blog forum for parents and youth alike to read.

    I hope you post these links:

      Thank you Colette! I appreciated Dr Grossman's point about consent. Also her point about boys needing instruction regarding this issue too, it has confused them.

      She wrote about the movie several times, here

    Thanks for posting the individual links Elizabeth. This makes it easier to access the individual blogs quicker.

    Maybe those investing their time watching a man named Christian Grey will invest another hour or so witnessing the demise of another man named ‘Dorian Gray’ in the time honored classic movie entitled, “The Picture of Dorian Gray”.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    Wanted to let you know the link to GTY's "Marriage as it was meant to be" article does not work.

    What an awful book/movie. Thank you for the edifying links!
