Before handing her the contract, he buys her a wardrobe full of clothes, some valuable and expensive books, a mobile phone, a laptop and a car within the first week. In essence, he buys her acceptance and signature regarding the contract. He buys her consent to the power exchange because deep inside he is a symp, who is thinking that she needs to be compensated for this "sacrifice". On the contrary, a real man would acknowledge that her submission to a dominant male was what she was wholeheartedly waiting for and dreaming about since she discovered her sexuality.
This way the writer further promotes a pattern that is well set for decades now. By being submissive behind the bedroom doors, women get in return the submission of men in every other aspect of their relationship. Thus, allthough men brag about being dominant and getting away with everything in bed, it is women who are really pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
A sufficient but not necessary condition of the success of a book is the fact that it offers an opportunity for the reader to identify with one of the characters. This time the writer went a step further by letting the female reader not only identify with the protagonist, but feeling and knowing that she is superior to her.
The ridiculous quality of writing clearly indicates that the vast majority of women, and the majority of men, are illiterate and foolish or educated and intelligent but so stressed and busy that their brains' capacity can't stand a thought-provoking, demanding book.
It reminds me of Brent Smith's band-aid solution to the inferiority complex: the infamous affirmations. You listen to or read something and then you try to convert it to voices in your subconscious. Consciously you will know that the underlying cause of the problem remains and you are just fooling yourself. Why not improve yourself in all areas, enabling you to love yourself and grow dependent only on it (or grow independent of everything else)? Why not KNOW you are instead of THINKING you are? Right, because you always prefer that simple, quick, magic solution. Guess what: it is also ineffective.
By the way, I believe every employer and employee should be aware of topics like viral marketing, social contagion, herd behaviour, the wisdom of the crowds, crowdsourcing.
The Kidd! and peregrinus, I appreciate your wisdom and contribution in this forum, it has really changed my life and influenced me enormously (something obvious in my posts). I have told my family that during the last 5 months as a member of this forum, I have learnt
MANY more (and invaluable) things than 21.5 years as a member of my family. It appears that nurture began working its magic at last.
Something more than a month before I move to the UK for my postgraduate studies (at last I will start living my life alone, controlling nearly every aspect of it, far away from my family and the usual habits and "qualities" it encompasses), this book could be useful as a tool to disqualify some girls there, depending on their evaluation of it.
Star, it would be fun to share what she told you about the trilogy.
