I feel the need to further a discussion started recently by writer Maggie Stiefvater. This past month, she went on a rant about the ridiculous overuse of rape within literature.

“The truth is that the world is full of dragons, and none of us are as powerful or cool as we’d like to be. And that sucks. But when you’re confronted with that fact, you can either crawl into a hole and quit, or you can get out there, take off your shoes, and Bilbo it up.”
