After reading Melinda Tankard Reist’s article about Kanye West’s ‘Monster’ video, and seeing her petition to ban it, I of course dashed off to view it, expecting to be horrified.
And I was. But no more horrified than I was during the lost moments of my life spent in front of the Twilight series. Like Twilight, it’s full of fetishised and zombified women who exist in a world of male violence. As in Twilight, the women are plastic in their lifelessness and their ultimate purpose, dead or alive, is to be sexual scratching posts for men.
