Why?

Notice how Meyer describes women in the story who aren't hitched to a man in some way. She considers Bella, a weak-willed pathetic whiny excuse of a woman, (who acts just like an abused spouse and never discusses things with Edward in the book, like that she wants to keep the baby. She just calls Rosalie to protect her, claiming she doesn't fear Edward but for some reason won't talk it out with him) so much better than Leah. Bella is supposedly "beautiful" and a "martyr" and everyone loves her so much and the people who don't "just don't understand" or they're evil and twisted. Leah is the furthest thing from a Mary Sue in the story, and yet she is snubbed and hated in favor of a clingy, whiny, obsessive, weak-willed woman like Bella Swan.
