It's such a common message that sometimes I just don't see it anymore, either because I am so fucking used to it, or just so fucking tired of it. Hard to say where the difference lies :)   <strong>heidiannie</strong>, my pleasure to share. I love finding things like this that are smart and well-done and so spot on! karina, I read the first two books as well and didn’t stop and give myself the d’oh moment until about halfway through the second book… It’s such a common message that sometimes I just don’t see it anymore, either because I am so fucking used to it, or just so fucking tired of it.

Jonathan McIntosh rules, and you, Kelley, for spotting this gem spreading the word. I'm a big <em>Buffy</em> fan, so I should have know better... but it took me two <em>Twilight</em> books to clue in on the dangerous, sexist, prude game Meyer was playing. This was way before the series went mainstream and its effect became amplified and plain for all to see. Still, sad, sad, sad that I can be so gullible and foolish. But, hey, I caught up and made amends before the third and fourth books polluted me any further, swore to never watch the movie or contribute another cent or syllable to the <em>Twilight</em> mantra. The least I can do now is spam all my friends with McIntosh's insight. What a delicious and smart treat! Jonathan McIntosh rules, and you, Kelley, for spotting this gem spreading the word.

It's like a generational thing- GenX Buffy meets GenY Edward. I am so tired of hearing about Edward from starry- eyed teenaged girls. And so well done-Jonathan McIntosh truly is an artist.
