The prose is functional. Explored are incest, child molestation, harassment as well as less criminal forms of disfunction sexual interactions.  You may want a shower after this one.

Moderately misogynistic to the point I couldn't stomach it. I powered through the first story (a woman is
Spoilerkissed against her will
Spoiler, mistreated when she rejects a man, and is pretty much only viewed as an object of desire, not a person. To top it off she eventually is
Spoilerabandoned
Spoiler).  I figured the second story had to be better but it was worse. Woman are viewed only as sexual objects or harpy nags who can be appeased with flowers. Gross. Stopped reading about 10% through the second story.
