This is exactly my problem with the book. The 50's way of thinking about the difference between men and women. 150 pages to go, i'll probably finish the book this weekend but it really is getting annoying. All the men in the book are egotistic alpha males or drunks or have agrression issues, and all the women are in some way a victim of men. It's 2017, who still thinks like that?
That, and there is not one character i like and that i'm rooting for., the women are all really annoying with their complaining about men and the men in the book are even worse, there are so many ways the whole situation could be dealt with but it just isn't happening because no one is talking in any sensible way with each other, so it just keeps draggin on...
It still quite an achievement though, despite all my annoyences it's still a page turner. It rarely happens that i finish a massive book like this in little over a week...
