And even if we're focusing on teenage girls, the messages to teenage girls in, say, any random blockbuster action movie are *ghastly*. Why don't the people who are so upset over Edward ever join me in being upset by The Girl existing only as a prize for The Hero, or by The Girl starting out cool and then giving it all up to subordinate herself to The Hero, or by The Girl being the only female human in a world populated entirely by men, or ...?
I am really really tired of the idea that the lowest point to which a human can sink is a teenage girl.
yes! (dammit)
