At the top of the list: bigotry, sexism, and misogyny.If you want to peer into my brain for a few minutes - stop by the Book Faery's blog to check out my guest post on sexual double standards in fiction, plus you have the chance to win a Nightshade ARC!
And don't forget to submit your designs for the Wolfsbane cover contest.
I love that picture. I'm a total Buffy fangirl. *runs to read guest post*
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great post over at Book Faery! I agree with everything you said, though you said it much more succinctly and clearly that I would have done. As a former health educator (sexual health and then rape/violence prevention, to be exact) and now as a high school English teacher-in-training, I hope to be able to discuss these issues with my students in the future. I just hope I can do so without getting kicked out of the school system. :)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work! Now I'm even more excited to read NIGHTSHADE.

Thanks so much :)
ReplyDeleteThat was an excellent guest post. Sometimes women are their own enemies by perpetuating and playing into these double standards. I've always appreciated that Buffy was created by a man. Yay, Joss!
ReplyDeleteI will check it out. BTW Love Buffy. :)
