Kate Spencer: Why Kristen Stewart Matters: A Screed About Girls, Role Models And Tearing Down Those Who Are Different
She refuses to be the pretty, perfect puppet and so she is relentlessly criticized. And that scares me. Not just because of what it means for her, but what it means for my daughter. Because when the time comes, I want Eleanor to be awkward. I want her to feel she has a right not to share parts of her life, that it’s okay to stumble over an answer or say something that might be controversial or unpopular. I want her to know she doesn’t have to wear 5-inch heels to feel beautiful, that she doesn’t have to cake make up on her face to leave the house. I want her to not to pretend to be happy all the time.
Awesome read. :)
Contrary to popular belief, I actually like Kristen Stewart. It’s the Bella Swan character in the Twilight movie (and the movie trailers for the other books becausethat’sallIwatched) whom I can’t stand.
Note: I’ve promised to read the books next year to placate my Twilight-crazy friends… which leads me to the question: Why do I keep them in my life?
