- Of course she does. It's not a day in Anita-ville if she isn't kicking the crap out of some poor defenseless woman Yeah, it's three chapters in succession with a lady tiger getting PWNed each chapter. Thus far nothing bad has happened to the one MALE weretiger they caught there that was a Harlequin spy besides getting tied up.
I would LOVE to ask LKH about the gender-swapped equivalent of this, hear her rant about the misogyny, and then ask her WHY SHE WROTE THIS. Seriously, it's pretty much textbook rape. Anita is constantly emphasized as a masculine entity that hates women, Julia is emphasized as feminine (manicured nails, etc.), she does something Anita doesn't like, Anita attacks her and even though she clearly has no sexual attraction to her she still dominates her by straddling her and then 'thrusting' something into her. So yeah, a misogynist attacking a woman sexually not out of desire but of hatred and a need to put her in her place. It's made even creepier by the fact that this apparently 'tames' Julia and makes her nuzzle/lick/kiss Anita right after.
Didn't this plotline come up at least once before? Oh yeah, that's right, Soledad, the golden Harlequin weretiger spy who attacked Anita and helped give her MOAD's rainbow tigers.
I actually REALLY LOVE IT SO HARD THERE ARE NOT WORDS when a physically/politically/socially weak character stands up and says THIS ISN'T RIGHT, even if they know that they're going to get their ass kicked for it. Especially then, actually. I didn't think of it that way but now that you point it out, you're right! REBA ROCKS MY SOCKS EVEN MORE NOW!
How is this any different from Anita using a knife in a were-dominance-stupidity-thing? Because Anita Is Special!
