“I find myself concerned about the retrogressive gender stereotypes in all of her novels”.

For the love of Mike, it’s a book and/or a movie. I’ve seen opposite views on this “literature” (I use that word very liberally, here). Edward refuses to sleep with Bella until after they marry even when Bella leads him on and tries to get him to. Allow your children to watch a movie or read material that you approve of but to analyze this “bubble-gum” like it is a Dickens book is silly.

Sounds like she’s following the template for the romantic confused moody bad boy loner that’s been popular since James Dean and Brando. Has nothing to do with Mormons.
