Twilight Madness, PART THREE...DEAR GODS! THERE'S MORE!!

*laughing hysterically*

SO...I bought myself my first ever issue of BITCH Magazine. I read it almost cover to cover in about two hours. It was amazing and wonderful and kit expanded my mind as well as my feminist sensibilities. I recommend it to all my friends! Anyways...back on topic...TWILIGHT! There's ACTUALLY a three page, well written article on this disgrace of a book and movie(after reading this review, yes I WILL be politically incorrect and say it's HORRIBLE...I don't have to see it to know!), and about how damaging and scary this story really is. Especially once you get to the fourth book or the little known "alternate" version of Twilight that S. Meyer is writing. Just think, Twilight told from the point of view of Edward, with his describing his fantasies about HOW he would kill her! CREEPY!! Or how when Edward and Bella FINALLY have sex, after 3 WAY too long books chock full of what is being called "abstinence porn"(my new favourite word!), Edward essentially rapes her and she's HAPPY and TURNED ON by this! Now, there's nothing wrong with a good spanking here and there things that I won't mention here(*blush*), but it should be between consenting adults! NOT A NAIVE AND MANIPULATED 19 YEAR OLD AND HER "OLDER" LOVER!! There's talk of Bella covered in bruises form their "love making" that she tries to hide "so he wont feel bad".
WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLE??? Pardon my foul language but that's just INSANITY!!
AH! MUST STAY ON TOPIC!
SO to get to my point! PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE HERE! Or buy the wonderful magazine!! Enjoy!

Bite Me! (Or Don't)

Stephenie Meyer’s vampire-infested Twilight series has created a new YA genre: abstinence porn

Abstinence has never been sexier than it is in Stephenie Meyer’s young adult four-book Twilight series. Fans are super hot for Edward, a century-old vampire in a 17-year-old body, who sweeps teenaged Bella, your average human girl, off her feet in a thrilling love story that spans more than 2,000 pages. Fans are enthralled by their tale, which begins when Edward becomes intoxicated by Bella’s sweet-smelling blood. By the middle of the first book, Edward and Bella are deeply in love and working hard to keep their pants on, a story line that has captured the attention of a devoted group of fans who obsess over the relationship and delight in Edward’s superhuman strength to just say no.

The Twilight series has created a surprising new sub-genre of teen romance: It’s abstinence porn, sensational, erotic, and titillating. And in light of all the recent real-world attention on abstinence-only education, it’s surprising how successful this new genre is. Twilight actually convinces us that self-denial is hot. Fan reaction suggests that in the beginning, Edward and Bella’s chaste but sexually charged relationship was steamy precisely because it was unconsummated—kind of like Cheers, but with fangs. Despite all the hot “virtue,” however, we feminist readers have to ask ourselves if abstinence porn is as uplifting as some of its proponents seem to believe.
