Girls objectify the shit out of many male stars, and have for decades. And they do it sexually, as well, and have for the entirety of my life (I grew up knowing plenty of girls who had posters of half-naked guys like John Travolta and Stallone on their walls).
The unease about TWILIGHT is that it's a girl-oriented property that is almost totally anti-girl power. It's a chastity fable, it's a damsel in distress fable, it's about weak women being saved - and not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally - by strong men.
I've said this before and I'll say it again - if TWILIGHT were written by a man, feminists would be making GBS threads their panties. It's flat out woman hating material, based completely on the life experience of a conservative religious fanatic.
