right out that he's not into that "politically correct crap" where he lets his woman do soenihtmg dangerous; it's his job to protect her, to reign her in, to control her crazy whims, to put a stop to her childish tantrums, or however he describes the behavior of this woman whom he claims to love but very clearly has absolutely no respect for. She's the woman, which makes her the child. He's the man, which makes him the adult. It's for him to command (for her own good, of course) and for her to obey.Wow.I've been hoping for a long time that Feehan would get into the 21st century (or even the latter chunk of the 20th) and write a different kind of guy, or create a different kind of romantic relationship. If nothing else, writing the same characters with new nametags, and the same relationship dynamics over and over and over, is bad writing. No luck so far, and I think at this point I'm giving up on her.Of course, I'm sure Ms. Feehan will, if she ever discovers my defection, cry all the way to the bank with her wheelbarrows of money. But yeah, her guys are assholes; some moreso than others, but the only question is how big an asshole they'll be, not whether. And they're crazy-popular, so it seems this crap is appealing to some large number of female readers. [sigh]Yet another reason I like m/m -- there are assholes, sure, but they tend to be individual characters rather than trends representing centuries of gender-political baggage. :/Angie
