It was nothing of the kind. Just because you see "hyperbole" doesn't mean it exists. You mistook my comment for some sort of prudery when in fact I am a libertarian who defends pornography.

It is simply factual that the underlying mood of the Twilight series is erotic arousal of a kind peculiar to women. That is the root of its appeal - and the reason I condemn the series on literary grounds. It's simply bad writing.

The fact that you see neither the hyperbole nor the irony doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I didn't perceive any prudery in your comment; I just noted the irony of the comment, expecially in light of your characterization of the post to which you were responding as "reacting like a hysterical female".

Also, the fact that as a libertarian you defend pornography while simultaneously condemning a book series on literary grounds is equally ironic. The fact that you can't see that speaks much more about your perception than mine.
