Sweet Zombie Baby Jesus Is She FOR REAL?

Well, I was a fool and tried to read NiC.

Made it 200 pages, stopped, and banished the four books I owned to backs of my case right with SMeyer's work. Which did not hurt my head as much btw

I heard somewhere that in DM, Laurita has a pregnancy scare that winds up being just a scare. And since it's pretty much common knowledge LKH=AB it made me wonder if it was her way of playing God with the whole kid thing. If that makes sense. I mean, if Anita is wish fulfillment, does that mean she wishes she never got knocked up?

Anywhoo, back to what sent me here again. The buyer's remorse comment. My friend who got me into AB mentioned off-hand that in one book (blood noir maybe? she couldn't recall) that Anita waved off a girl who was raped as buyer's remorse.

WHAT THE HELL?

Slap, punch kick.

As someone who has been through something traumatic as a child, I have strong feelings about sexual abuse/assault and this makes me want to hurt someone. So when a man is raped its OMGTRAGIC but when you're a woman, it's buyer's remorse? Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. At least SMeyer didn't go there. Dear God woman! Does this apply to younger women as well? Hope not.

Sorry, I got really mad. I cut like 3/4 of my rant down though!

Yes she did, It was a post NiC with Edward, they talk about Peter...Edward's teenaged foster son...who was very rough and aggressive with two girls one was a virgin and one was not both claimed Peter hurt them and when they expressed that to him he kept going.

Anita said it "Sounded like Buyer's Remorse" with the first girl.

Is NiC the one where Anita handwaves her own rape, because of the Nimir Rah crap?

I really think Laurell needs some education on this. She comes across as a total misogynist, which is not what I think she wants. Anita started as a kick ass character, so I tend to think Laurell thinks she's writing strong women, but just fails miserably.
