Harper's Magazine, that venerable 100-year-old publisher of John Steinbeck, Sylvia Plath, Robert Frost, is planning on publishing an article in its March issue that will, reportedly, out the woman who created the Shitty Men in Media List.
There's nothing to stop her. But Harpers doesn't have to proudly hand her a pedestal to scream her name from. Basically, people are trying to make it CLEAR, beyond any doubt, that what she's doing is reprehensible, and call attention to the effects of doxxing on real actual people.
I read a few preview pages of "50 Shades" on Amazon. If they are representative of the entire book, it is the worst book that has ever been written or will ever be written, in this or any other universe.
The only S&M porn I ever read (well, most of it...OK, a little less than half) was "Story of O." It was kind of dull. O was just a nobody, with no personality or even humanity, who let her "lover" do all that shit to her for no good reason that I could tell.
On the other hand, 50 Shades is the source of an excellent drinking game wherein each participant drinks when their respective trope is mentioned. "Inner Goddess" and "oh, my!" are particularly inebriating. There is even a version for unenforceable contractual provisions.
There something ironic about someone worrying about maybe losing her job because they are publishing unsubstantiated and univestigated material that maligns other people. And something awfully hypocritical too. Perhaps someone should offer a public service that allows employers to avoid employing such people in the first place, once they’ve been identified. No need to verify whether they actually did it. Merely saying they are nothing but gossips should be sufficient to get them on the list. See how easy it is to justify being a shitty human being?
Same idea, except it was obviously her personal fantasy of some rich guy "rescuing" her with some spanking thrown in. Unlikable heroine, who has to be told to eat.
Salman Rushdie said 50 Shades made the Twilight books look like War and Peace. It's just such unbelievable bullshit that it's not really even plagiarism.
And your Jooo lawyer!
There's a word for that, token.
It's depressing how lucrative the 'ladies against women' gigs are, much like the 'blacks against African Americans' gigs.

This may have been posted, but Roiphe is denying that she is planning to out the list creator without her consent: https://www.nytimes.com/201...

She's a younger version of Camille "Date Rape Is a Beautiful Expression of Explosive Male Sexuality" Paglia.

Really bad.

Safe, sane and consensual. Why do they not bother to learn this?
When D's are in office, the movies have more sex in them. When the R's are in office more violence.
What? you're not interested in poseurs?
Hollywood has really got a lot to do with that. So much of it is anticipation which doesn't translate to film well.
