This is the t-shirt I will be selling all day today at my job in the mall. I sell this tee to ten yearold girls and their seventy yearold grandma's. This boy in the picture is SEVENTEEN! He is treated like a slab of meat, and what seventeen yearold would object? But why is this okay?
If Twilight were the story of a boy who is the object of desire for a nearly naked, overly developed seventeen yearold girl, and a sultry big breasted vampire, we wouldn't allow our ten yearold to watch and drool. We would rate it X, and forbid it. Because girls are swooning is this really okay?
Should mothers encourage their daughters to treat these kids like objects rather than people? Should mothers and their children be buying this t-shirt to match (I had two pairs yesterday buy this tee)? Should we teach our children that they must act weak, stupid, and nervous to get naked boys to fight over them? What are we doing and why am I a part of this? Why do I like Twilight? I see the issues in it, I hate how Bella is portrayed. I'm not watching New Moon, because I'm not interested in seeing a naked underage boy seduce an audience. Let's not be hypocrites ladies.
Gotta go to work... wander how many mother will shriek at these t-shirts as they wad up a pile for Grandma, big sis, baby sis, aunt Sue, etc. Geez
