SEE the ongoing discussion about Twilight. Readers disagree with Fitzgerald’s claim that the book feeds unwholesome desires in women.

Vanessa writes, “Feminists actually really hate those books. It’s such effective emotional porn because it speaks to women’s innate wish to be desired, protected, and dominated by a strong and morally-upright man.”

She adds: “I think we can all agree that there is pornography, and then there is pornography. I think young women reading Twilight is comparable to young men watching an action film in which “the hero gets the girl,” like Spiderman. Those sexual fantasies are a matched pair, aren’t they?”
