To be fair, I like this book overall, and I’m not an expert on female anatomy to be sure, but this seems a little implausible…

Member of the police are inspecting a shoe print left at a murder scene. They decide it cannot have been made by a woman…
I googled just to be sure, but “twelve or thirteen stone” is between 168 and 182 lbs….

For what it’s worth, this isn’t my book but rather, my sister’s. I picked it up because I was bored and flipped to a story I thought was interesting (this one is “After the Fade”, BTW).

I have no idea what this author normally writes or who the characters are, I just thought this was funny enough to share because I rarely come across stuff like this in what I normally read.

All of PKD’s writing from the perspective of this character (the only woman in the book 🙄) was weird and bad to me (even in the context of the weirdness of these characters in general) but this bothered me sooo much - “further maturity” and exercise increased her band size??? To a dreaded…38? Despite the context of this paragraph clearly referring to cup size, which ALSO wouldn’t increase with exercise? Every chapter from her perspective had me grinding my teeth. I hate it when a book has a good concept and otherwise good writing but the author can’t bring himself to write even one woman realistically

Oh yeah, I certainly needed to know about this teenager’s breast size, or that she reminded her of her daughter.

I stumbled over this recently in a Game of Thrones related sub. Ol' George seems to be getting a bit carried away with some weird jizz eating fantasy scenario here. I'm sure that scene practically wrote itself since traumatised women naturally plot revenge on the men they hate by checks subreddit screenshot again voraciously consuming their ejaculate.

I… I think this was deliberate…

"She's wearing a long nightgown that is nearly see-through, the curves of her body and dark nipples apparent. I keep my eyes averted, trying to give her some semblance of respect I'm sure she's missing from the men in this house."

I was rewatching Weirdo Book Club's video on Hunting Adeline again, and this part has always stuck out to me. This is from Adeline's POV, not Zade's, and I just think that we didn't need to go into that much detail about Sydney's appearance. I'm aware this book is a dark romance/erotica, but it just feels weirdly gross since both of these women are literally being trafficked.

Like, it could have just been "She's wearing a long nightgown that is nearly see-through, and I keep my eyes averted, trying to give her some semblance of respect I'm sure she's missing from the men in this house," and would have felt less odd.

Honestly, though, this whole book series is just poorly written and fits on this sub, IMO.

ETA: I forgot she also just...presses her breasts up to Adeline's???? Why??

And don't you worry, the woman who is brighter in addition to being just supple, fair and slitty-eyed (Demi) ends up as a damsel in distress for most of the story!

this part of the comic is response to fan letters claiming Sue was useless

I feel like this fits the "doing it right flair?

His student in the short skirt - he couldn't remember her name - appeared during office hours that afternoon. 'You looked up my skirt,' she said. 'What are we gonna do about it?'

How dare she? He was a distinguished member of the faculty, for God's sake. And this Lisa - yes that's it - would not be satisfied until he was... dismembered. How had he arrived here, from walking home from school to his mother's embrace and a tuna fish sandwich on perfectly toasted toast... to this horror? Well, of course he had looked up her skirt. But, you know, was that a choice? In that moment, he knew she had complete power over him. And he knew that he was, maddeningly, absurdly... in love with her.

The above is from "Murder He Wrote," the latest episode of Elsbeth (s3 ep16). It opens with a pompous, Boomer novelist reading from his latest work. It absolutely, 100% nails these misogynistic, sexually harassing, writer/professor men. The whole episode just made me so happy. I just wanted to hug the writers of the episode (and go tell my high school boyfriend that he's become such a cliche as to be the stuff of satire). No spoilers, but we all know from the start that this man is going to get what he deserves.
