These stories are so dissimilar in intent, crime and characters that your statement essentially makes no sense.

Anyone need some brain bleach?

I'm a scientist :\

The evils of the patriarchy can basically be distilled down to men (and some women) view women as objects rather than subjects, no? What objectifies women more than placing their images for the sole use of male sexual gratification?
