In all fairness, a great thing about artistic expression and freedom to have artistic expression in this world is that a writer can portray a character however they wish. Although many of us disagree with a vampire that my 6yr old daughter can kick the ass of, it is none the less, someones expression. Sad as it may be we must except that we are becoming old and the world is changing. I am sure this is the type of outrage there was when our parents stopped listening to Polka and Country and started listening to Rock and Roll. Sparkles seem to have the same effect on women of all ages.

If even the thought of a feminine vampire didn't make me gag I might actually watch Twilight, although I doubt I ever will. Just like the movie Titanic, Twilight will be a movie that I never go near and avoid with every fiber of my being. I have no doubts that by the time my daughter is a teen movies will have feminine jack the rippers who are romantic and sparkly, maybe a Son of Sam musical comedy or a Ted Bundy sitcom.

There is deeper meaning to a vampire being evil and sucking the life out of people. By making a vampire sparkle and feminine they have made the vampire a 2 dimensional character without any meaning or myth.
