most people making fun of twilight aren't doing so because it contradicts their feminist ideals, they're doing it because they're 14-year-old boys who think sparkling is gay and are mad that their female classmates are more attracted to Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner than they are to them.

Highlight, emphasize, underline, state multiple times.

I completely agree that there are many problematic elements in Twilight that deserve to be picked apart and analyzed, but the vast majority of people who criticize both it, and the fans, are doing so because of the sexist ideology that says girly things are "silly, ridiculous, and will never measure up". And neither will the fans.

If Twilight has demonstrated anything valuable, it is that women of ALL AGES enjoy having books that are about and directed at them, their interests and dreams and aspirations. (Not that these books cater to all women, of course). And this has made a great many people uncomfortable.
