Julia tries to take her hand back, but Anita holds on to it
Anita has no concept of personal boundaries and body space. Seriously, the only boundaries she respects (sort of) are her own, everyone else she just walks over.
"she tried to slap me, like a girl
In case you guys forget, this book is empowering to women and shows strong, female characters.
IT'S NOT ANIMAL EITHER YOU BULLY
Definitely not the attitude of a tiger. Solitary big cats aren't going to get in a lot of physical battles, they'll posture a lot, but they want to avoid a fight. A fight means risking potential injury that could prevent you from hunting, not a smart move if you want to survive.
She didn't know how to fall
Feminism means writing a book where the female weres are just there to look pretty and completely useless in a fight.
We plunged it between those beautiful eyes and we brought her tiger
It almost sounds like Anita is punishing this girl for daring to be beautiful. Anita mopes about how her dark hair and eyes are not beautiful, then she assaults this pale haired/pale eyed girl and there's this undercurrent of jealousy that's a bit disturbing. Then again, all of Anita's thoughts and interactions with other women in these books are always disturbing. You can almost choke on the misogyny.
all mine
And we're supposed to believe that Anita and JC are gathering power and people for purely altruistic purposes?
