Of course, the films cannot include all the aspects of a book but I get the parallels:
- delaying the the vampire bite (prolonging virginity)
- dispute between the vampires and wolves (diversity)
- wolf leader's fiancee' with scarred face (spousal physical abuse)
- vampire acceptance of Bella (suspending judgement)
All good lessons for the teenage females for sure but am I the first to say this ~~ Bella Swan is a shitty role model for chicks.- She has no respect for her dad when she disappears to Italy for three days
- She causes a large manhunt when she gets depressed and disappears in the woods
- She ignores her friends and has no use for them until she needs cheering up
- She puts her female friend in danger when she flirts with a rough outlaw biker
- She cannot be without male attention

I'm not a fan of Twilight either, I guess I will turn in my vagina now. I personally have myriad issues with the book, not the least of which is to glamorize the idea of being overpowered/dominated. Do teenagers really need to be getting this kind of message? I refuse to let my niece read the books or see the movie. She tells me I have "ruined her life." I explained that in the future I will do many, many more horrible things that will be even ruinous to her life. But...in the meantime, you might enjoy this: http://theoatmeal.com/story/twilight
