Why is her voice so bad? The low frequencies are too exaggerated making this almost impossible to listen to.

I always thought Stephanie Meyer's writing was so bad that she didn't even notice the afeminist rubbish she had in her book. She's also Mormon.

The main reason the Twilight argument is pointless is because its getting judged off what a girl/boy relationship should be. The movie is about a vampire/human relationship which cant be judged by the same standard, seeing as its fictional. Should girls get married when there 19?No. Should they get married at 19 if their significant other will never age past 17? I have no idea, sounds like it should be her choice, which is what feminsm should be defending.

The second comment I would make is that the "Twilight Feminist" issue also alienates feminism. It seems like a reach and comes across that way to all non-feminist. Feminism is about choice: Bella gets her way in every disagreement with Edward. Even feminist issues like pro choice. Edward wanted to "abort" the baby, Bella wanted to keep it, which did they do? She got her way like every other topic in the book....
Interesting points. But you do understand why I view being a house wife as unfeminist, right? It indirectly allows for power to be put on the man's side due to economic pressures coming from him.
