Fifty Shades of Grey: Thursday July 5, 12-1 pm
You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialize correctly.
A rebroadcast of our lively discussion about the wildly popular "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy, the erotic-themed novels that still hold the top three spots on the New York Times bestseller list for both e-books and trade paperbacks. Some call it "mommy porn." Others have praised the novels for helping women talk and think more freely about sex. But are its themes of S&M and sexual submission harmless fantasy or is there something problematic in its popularity? Why are millions of women responding to these books and why now? Midday culture commentator Sheri Parks examines power and porn and the portrayal of sex and women in popular culture.
