My Femanist Soapbox

So i hate to admit this openly in fear of mass amounts of hate emails telling me I am a bad Mormon, but I am a feminist. Not like those crazy people who beleive men are worthless and adopt babies so they can still be a mom and have a full time career without a man (awkward!), but mostly like men and women are equal so when my husband tries to tell me to do something I always say "Don't tell me what to do fool!". So a little more normal, in my opinion. So i am currently in the process of rereading Jane Eyre, which is like my favorite book of all time because Charlette Bronte is like the ultimate normal feminist and I lover her a lot. As I am reaing about this rocking female character who does not ever faulted from what she believes to be right and refuses to just sit down and follow societal norms and as I am reading about this super strong female character I could not help but compare it to this

So for those of you who worship at the alter of Twilight you should probably stop reading now. Seriously folks why are we encouraging young females to be mindless and obnoxious because they are "in love"? Seriously if my teenger became ridiculously depressed because her creepy pale boyfriend moved I would probably have her committed. Also, what are we teaching girls? This vamp character constantly yells and Bella and tries to force her to do stop all in the name of "protection". If you ask me it is all about controlling. Why are we teaching girls that controlling boyfriends are "awesome". This stresses me out! If Bella were to have a little more spine and actually stood up for herself in these books maybe I would not hate them so much. Until then I will stick with this

and pray that my children never act like Bella-whimp and act more like Jane Eyre.
(On a side note I learned how to put pictures on!)
