When you start counting the amount of times violence against women is used as a plot point - not just rape itself, but sexual assault, harassment, stalking, general violence against women perpetrated by men - it. is. nauseating. It's just everywhere and it SUCKS. Bah.
*ahem* Happier topic! Hi, I'm miera, and Persuasion is the greatest of the Austen novels and the Ciaran Hinds/Amanda Root film version is the best Austen movie EVER OMG!!! *g*
I haven't read any of the published Austen sequels, though that didn't stop me from writing Austen-style fanfic (http://miera-c.livejournal.com/373718.html) for Stargate.
