"unapolegetic patriarchy"? What? You want the author to apologize for writing a fictional story from the POV of a young male adult? You want everyone who's liked the books to apologize? What kind of world do you live in where people have to apologize for doing something perfectly legal, but offends YOU?

You do realise there's an entire group of women that murder and cannibalize men in the books, right?

"Anthony has clearly put a lot of energy into his definition of sexual maturity in girls—right down to the troubling idea that, in his eyes, the development of breasts and pubic hair in a girl means she is no longer a child.
