So...because you assume guys are going to mock something then you're going to mock it as well? Because--why? You want the guys to respect you? You want the girls to respect you?

Are you even listening to yourself?

My recommendation is to stop giving a shit about what guys might say, as though this is recess in the third grade and the boys are teasing the girls about cooties. The Twilight series is not my thing, but I have no problem seeing WHY it is so popular, and just because a population of hypothetical "guys" don't approve of that, that doesn't actually mean their opinion matters. Their viewpoint is not the default, wherein variations from that viewpoint are "deviant" or "biased". (Technically, biologically, there are more women than men, so as far as I'm concerned, if a man has a problem with Twilight, that man can suck it.)

By the way, the Harry Dresden series is unreadable to me for the blatant misogyny of his books. Who told you his female friends are intelligent and amazing--men? So now are you going to mock me because my opinion deviates from yours/theirs?
