but neither of these stories give a false sense of strength to any of these women.
that is the problem...
we know that women are eye candy in tons of movies... that is awful but its at least honest.
in twilight they are trying to pretend that she is strong... sort of... and taht part of her being so strong includes being saved by her creepy vampire boyfriend and withstanding what can be classified as stalking and abuse.
