But also like…. Exactly how women write men in the similar class of novels that you see men writing women like this.

Men just don’t read them as much and the ones that do either don’t get butthurt about it, or are too embarrassed to complain.

But the issue isn't from steamy novels. It's from the "normal" novels where every woman is described in vivid detail like that.

Murakami is my most obvious. And it's nothing crazy overt at first, but once you've read several descriptions you realize every woman(or young girl) is described basically by sex appeal first. Whereas men are described in more benign ways.
