I'm gonna need men to stop writing thrillers where the "thrill" is that the husband is abusive or the men hate women. Try harder!
The only reason I kept reading past the halfway point is because I thought that, surely, this wasn't just going to be about a bunch of men who hate women, right?? There must be something else going on like a weird science experiment or... truly anything else. But then, SURPRISE! That's all it's about. And since by that point I was 75% in, I just switched to 2x speed and powered through, but I was only half listening because I kept rolling my eyes at the absurdity of it all.
