” I found the sex less than sexy-and as someone who believes women and men are equals, I found the male character obnoxious in the way he treated the female character as a possession and lesser person. The female character was a clueless idiot to allow herself to be objectified in that way.”
Yet women read this and love it? WHY? Women want to be treated like this by men? Feminist women? Please.
Women like us who believe women are equal to men, and are not intimidated are real feminists-women who allow a man to treat them like an object, and are emotionally-and/or financially dependent on a man as a keeper or daddy substitute are not feminists-when I was a case manager, we called that a co-dependent and unhealthy relationship-for both people.
The broad in the book is right out of a textbook-gets involved with a much older, wealthy man who treats her as an object/possession and she enjoys the humiliation and degradation-bad message for young women who want to really be themselves, but that is just my opinion.
