Gender police decry Rough Sex Scene in 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn'

Spoiler: 30 minutes of wedding. 30 minutes of a honey moon. 30 minutes of her giving birth and gestating the child. 5 minutes of fighting. Nothing happens the entire fucking time.

That was the fucking movie. The only people who are victims of abuse here are the boyfriends who were dragged along to see this awful movie. I didn't even mind the first ones. This one was just awful.

I only went to see the first movie. After that I promised myself to never see another one of those movies again.

I had read the books, so I knew what I was walking into to, but nothing could prepare me for that...nothing.

Twilight is filled with flawed characters that make poor role models, the end.

Pierce, is Twilight's sex scene really something MR needs to go over? That fruit seems awfully low.

Literature police decry Twilight as "Fucking piece of shit".

No, no, no, no.

I am not arguing this point whatsoever. Stephanie Meyer is a fucked up writer who completely pisses off both feminists and MRers. Her characters are one-dimensional archetypes that are pretty offensive to either sex if you bother to analyze it, and the sex scene is one of those things that is a rape fantasy explained away by marriage. Just like the vampire standing in her room, watching her sleep, is not endearing, it's stalking. And her, crooning over his bloody looks, is not "a woman's choice", it's an infantile approach to love.

Seriously. Arguing about this just makes everyone look stupid.

Well, to be fair, Edward does act pretty much exactly like an obsessive stalker.
