Women buy ten times more rope in the last six months
They’re even slipping into hardware stores and demurely asking for bondage material — the very type of natural-filament rope in the trilogy.
“Oh, we’ve been selling rope to women,” says Clifton Kahn, owner of Lexington Hardware on the Upper East Side. “I’d say tenfold more rope than usual in the last six months. The women are definitely buying, and it’s still continuing.”
The store’s most popular item is the soft-cotton “clothes line” rope, which retails at a bargain $5 for 50 feet.
Tarzian Hardware in Park Slope, Brooklyn, has also seen a rash of rope sales. “It’s usually men buying rope, but the women, they’ve been coming in the last few months,” cashier Christina Davila told The Post. “I’ve actually read the book. So when the women buy rope, it was kind of like, ‘Hmmm, that does seem a little unusual.’ ”
Probably just innocent, you think?

When the washing line breaks what’s a girl to do?
She gets critiscised for being all helpless with DIY tasks. Red is real pretty, did anyone check for new red washing lines?
Awful lot of washing lines breaking.
It’s like with a doorstep or front of property?
One peron has theirs cleaned up and it makes the others look dowdy by comparison so everyone else had to join the “arms race”.
Who would want a plain ald vanilla line when they could have say red? ^_^
Still I wouldn’t want to get all tied up in syllogism, what colors does that come in anyway?
Give em enough rope and they’ll skip.
And not red, definitely not red. Red is a man’s colour –
