moonsanity I saying that the theme of article if not those very words. Have been used to describe Vampires Brooks and there attraction to female reader since the Books Carmilla or the Penny Dreadful ,Dracula.
But IT'S A REALLY OLD ARGUMENT and I mean OLD and it is sexist argument that some how Women are More attracted to EVIL than MEN. That Men Are less Vulnerable to Seduction of Evil.
The appeal of the paranormal bad boy -- or James Bond super-spy, as one example of male escapism
Of course, some of the "bad" boy's appeal could be derived from answering the question: What if he really isn't bad? The paranormal bad boy is usually a fiercely loyal partner for the heroine.
It's a stupid statement I know for a fact that men thinks the same
way as women.
I.E.What if She really isn't bad?
And are just as easily if not more so find the "bad" Girl's appeal,Appealing.The Zena,Barbed Wire, WhitchBlade Appeal.
I Love Vampire Book and last I checked I was Male and every bit as Vulnerable to Seduction as a Woman. It's Silly Argument and been done a many times before.
If I was not being clear sorry. I Did not say she was slamming Men. I was saying she was slamming Woman. Not a lot but light slam never the less.
Or did I read it Wrong ?
Did it say "Why People find vampires hot."
Or Did it say "Why women find vampires hot"
Silly me I must of misread.
moonsanity I like your posts and really do not want you mad at me but by definition if I feel the article is sexist it is.
It's clearly stating that this type Fiction is for women becouse women find Vampire Attractive.
So as a man I find it unfair stereo type.
I mean I love Vampire Books I've read them for 30 years and if I find some one saying what Great Girl's books they are I disagree. There Great People Books.
Moonsanity I suffered from dyslexia as a child and it was my love of those Vampire books that got me to teach myself to read I was 13 and spent my summer box of Star Trek and a whole bunch of Vampire Novels I got Garage Sale. And I tort my self to read not a school Me alone in my room 6 weeks.My sister used to have to read them to me but by the time that summer ended I could read. I read 4 books a week and have for the last 28 years.
It be like If I wrote a Article Saying how Base ball was a great Sport Only Men enjoy playing.
I disagree with that as well (I have no Idea how play Base Ball, My Wife dose she used to play on the male teem of her High School.Till they made her stop.)
But what Really annoys me about that Article is some kid with bad eyes Sight and dyslexia will hear about how the Vampire books are Girls only and not read it becouse he gets to embarrassed to give them a shot..
Are we clear?
The Article should not be focused on
Woman being Attracted to Vampires it should be about
people being attracted to Vampires.Men and Women alternately.
The article Has Been done before and nearly the same words and phrases used many many many times.
The first one I read was titled Vampires and sexual eroticisms in Victorian Woman. That was a piece nonsense too.
I mean do you really think the three Vampire brides ravaging Jonathan Harker in Dracula was for female readers?
Jeaniene might be a great person and writer, she still redoing a STALE article to death. Plagiarism Might be a bit strong but what else can I call it when the same bad Article makes more rebirths than a Phoenix on a soap opera.

I can literally post hundreds of links and at least 90% are titled " Why women find vampires-------(fill in the bank)." The titles are not even unique!
I agree "When it comes to opinions on vampires and who loves them it would be impossible NOT to mention something that's been talked about before."
But that my point nothing was unique or new was said.
moonsanity If you disagree with me that fine but please do not be mad at me.
I stated my reasons I dislike the Article and I have no interest in a flame war so I will not respond, (as I do not wantto up set you)But I do respect you and love your posts and have no interest in fighting or upsetting you, just want to be clear on that.
And I semi-disagree most of the men I know wouldn't admit touching them with a ten foot pole ether(Most do) but that not going to change with some one trying to put Vampire and Romance Novels in a Box titled for girls.
Again please forgive me if I offended.
