Jamie Dornan doesn’t believe that Fifty Shades of Grey is misogynistic, suggesting that too much focus has been given to the BDSM elements in the books and the upcoming film and that in reality more men are submissives.
In an interview with Elle UK, the actor who plays Christian Grey said: “I can understand why people say tying a woman up and spanking her is misogynistic… But actually, more men are submissives than women. Very powerful men,” he said adding: “[i]t’s a far bigger scene than I imagined: in pretty much any city in the world that you could name, people want to get spanked with a paddle with studs on it.”
