Not so sparkly vampires
I maintain: The Twilight series is dangerous. Not because Bella is a brainless, empty, shell of a female character. I don’t have a problem with weak women in the movies. What bothers me is that this tripe is being sold not just as normal but as DESIRABLE. As something that women should aspire to. Young girls around the country are debating whether she should choose Edward or Jacob. Which abuse is better? He’s insanely jealous and stalks me or he can barely control his anger and may physically abuse me at any moment?

[read the whole review, and you'll get a taste of the disdain I have for these books/films]

The Out Campaign: Scarlet Letter of Atheism

the grrrl in question:
I'm an ex-pat American in the midst of the frozen Canadian prairies. I'm married to a daydreamer. I'm officially a thirtysomething.



I'm also a mama to Emma, an ENFP, and am a happily outspoken godless liberal (who loves to discuss religion).
