Just Some Casual Internet Reading

Found this sweet blog post about how Twilight ticks all the boxes of the "Are you in an Abusive Relationship?" guidelines. I'd always thought it was awfully written, and kind of thought it was a bit disturbing how tweens wear tops saying "I wish my boyfriend was like Edward," but when you think about it, the problem with Twilight is the stupid expectations young girls are getting about relationships. Anyway. Read the blog post. Quite good.

  1. This is the main reason I hate Twilight. It disturbs me that it's so popular with young girls, when the entire premise is built around a young girl who is "nothing" without some form of relationship. It'd be so easy to do a rant in a media assignment on gender roles...
    Speaking of, hope you did well in Media Schol, and your other exams!
