the feminist librarian reads

I would love so much to see a sultry romance on the big screen that took the attitude Dakota Johnson seemed to be adopting throughout Fifty Shades’ energetic early scenes: a little flirty, a little dangerous, a little wry and self-aware. Bonus points if this imaginary film did not assume that all romance was straight and requiring of traditional gender roles, and said film were willing to include sex scenes that cater to everyone’s gaze, not just (ahem!) the male one.
