the perils of keeping it real

Top 20 Unfortunate Lessons Girls Learn From Twilight →

kaytee:

A few highlights:

• If a boy tells you to stay away from him because he is dangerous and may even kill you, he must be the love of your life. You should stay with him since he will keep you safe forever.
• When a boy leaves you, going into shock, losing all your friends and enduring night terrors are completely acceptable occurrences — as long as you keep your grades up.
• Boys who leave you always come back.
• If the boy you are in love with causes you (even indirectly) to be so badly beaten you end up in the hospital, you should tell the doctors and your family that you “fell down the steps” because you are such a silly, clumsy girl. That false explanation always works well for abused women.
• Men can be changed for the better if you sacrifice everything you are and devote yourself to their need for change.

What an empowering example for our impressionable young women. Great job, Stephenie Meyer.
