Putting words to my thoughts

An excellent article about the new vampire books, women and feminism. I have longed to have the energy to write about this, though I also wanted to link it to the romantic era with it's backlash for women (compared to the Enlightenment), it's demonic lovers, obsession with purity and abstinence and the same female submission as you see in these new vampire books. Scary stuff.

Oh, and Edward Cullen is a seriously creepy guy.

Yeah, the fandom is great. One of my best friends is totally crazy about the books, Edward, everything, but she's a grown up woman who can choose her own porn ;)
