i mean, the POVs of view here are that twilight is trash, regardless of gender identification with the protagonist; and that the dismissal (by scolds) of criticism of "women's" texts (by dudebros), which often suggests that the dude-critics only dislike these texts because the dude-critics are unable to identify with non-dude protagonists, is totally absurd when the texts criticized by the dudebros are, like twilight, totally trash, right?
no one in that thread has actually failed to identify with or have empathy for any actually written or hypothetically written vampire characters.
That's the way it feels. Guys are allowed to be straight creepy with women, but women aren't allowed to want someone who gives off those creepy traits in a way that's safe.
It's kinda ironic. These incels who give women the creeps refuse to make themselves actually safe, therefore becoming attractive.
I mean this is a book series about a girl who is creeped out by a guy but it turns out he's safe to her. I mean that sounds like a perfectly rational fantasy for several women to have given the lack of safety for women in general.

it's clearly both trash aimed at women is being judged under a harsher lens than trash aimed at men

maybe, but this thread isn't evidence of that.
