a followup on last week’s comic
I am still very irritated about the book blurb I complained about last week that handwaves over abuse of an underage girl. “Pet peeve” is too small a phrase, but misogyny is so ubiquitous that I feel like I’m yelling at clouds.
I feel vindicated after visiting the author’s website. She rewrote that book overview and her version calls out the abuse for prospective readers.
