Hard Spell by Justin Gustainis

Why are so many urban fantasy books written by men so casually misogynistic? The main character mentions, as an aside, how he and his male cope buddies spied on the female cop while she showered until she got confrontational with them about their sexual harassment. And it's just...no big deal that they're sexist assholes. Also, the nicknaming of another woman as "Louise the Tease" because she... doesn't date cops? Oh, and she wears sexy clothing. Well, how dare she! How dare she look attractive and not want to date them. I spend enough time in the real world hearing casual sexism and the sexualizing of women who are just trying to exist. I don't need it in my escapist fiction.
