"Dang. Who'd have thought that anything Meyer said would imply misandry?" Who'd have thought that she'd actually come out and say it? O____o
"The Twilight series does make more sense when it's viewed through a "glorifying parasites" lens. :o" Heh. It's actually common in badfic - bad guys are the ones who work their way up and earn their unusual prestige and power, the good ones are the ones who have it just dumped on their heads. Eragon's another example, as is Anita Blake. And let's not even talk about Cassandra Claire.
Cori Falls is the one Big Time Suethor that I can remember who went screeching 180 degrees away from that - the problem being that she then took said hard work as divine right to do whatever she wanted Team Rocket to do to Ash...
Anyway, yes, it does. Meyer throws up a smokescreen over it, but, in terms of how good their final outcomes are and how blissful they end up, the characters are consistently ranked in order of how much they're leeching off of other people and how little they worked to get where they are. :\
