Raise people on Metal Hurlant and they still may make crap movies but at least they're chock full of "le sex".

But it's not about whether Bella is "passive" or not. In fact, the paradigm where a woman is allowed agency only so far as to be put down because of it can be a lot more problematic than her not having it at all. Bella doesn't need to be an ingenue to play into classic tropes about the need for women's sexuality to be controlled by men. Bella as the sexual aggressor and instigator can, in fact, play right into that.
But that's about as far as I'm going to go with it because... well, I don't think anyone's pretending Twilight is some kind of feminist manifesto except maybe Stephanie Meyer, and given what you can see flipping through television, it can see pretty tame in terms of any its problematic aspects.
