Yeah I feel a bit hesitant to criticize her on simplifying the issue like that because this is her fantasy. Like, if this is her personal fantasy and this part of the book is supposed to represent her real life, and she does receive harassment and this is her way of dealing with it (shooing it off) I can see why she would portray it like that.

But then you have House of Night where Zoey sees Aphro basically assaulting Erik and all Zoey does is call Aphro a slut instead of saving Erik...and it all just seems really irresponsible of her.
