I don't know about the other vampire fiction, but the author is dang right about Twilight, IMHO. And maybe the scariest thing is that since Mayer says she didn't know the vampire genre at all before writing the novels, she is actually enforcing the misogynistic view on her own.

I love all *teh crazy* around the fandom, because it's just keeps on giving, but the books themselves are the most disturbed pieces of fiction I've ever read.
