    After reading the article, my first thought is:

    She gender-swapped the book to prove that it didn't perpetuate gender stereotypes, but used gender stereotypes to underscore the fact that the genders (and not just the names) were swapped?

    My second thought is:

    Thank you Buzzfeed for binding me from harm. Harm against other people (by potentially causing a friend or library to pay for it) and harm against myself (by actually taking the time to read the whole thing).

    My third (and most important) thought is:

    This whole thing may be ridiculous, but now I can say that I've seen Dwayne Johnson tweet about Twilight.
