Spoiler
i.e. Oryx as an entire character that was sex trafficked but held absolutely no resentment whatsoever??? (I know there could be nuance there but if she was trying, Atwood missed the mark for me). Also, the blatant misogyny which I get was supposed to be unlikable in Crake but was perhaps supposed to be redeemable in Jimmy/Snowman??? Just really, really missed the mark. Ugh.Graphic: Murder, Suicide, Misogyny, and Death

This book's narrator is problematic in many ways, but does not engage in rape or abuse, rather
