You know...your comments on feminism and that scene where Zoey "bitch-slapped" the "turd boy" (really?) made me realize--Is there one normal guy in this book? The only guys we've seen thus far are her ex-boyfriend, a clueless jock with no other characterization, her step-dad, who was vilified from the moment he was mentioned, and Damien, who also has no characterization beyond being gay. All of them are either totally stereotypical or are just complete jerks obsessed with BJs, such as this guy she slapped.
It just makes me wonder if the Casts are doing what Meyer did to females--making them have no character outside of their gender stereotypes. All of the females in that series were baby hungry, and now we have a series where males seem to be sex-crazed assholes. (And yes, I know this Erik guy seems to be different, but considering we haven't really met him yet, I'm holding judgment on him.)
