Hey, no apology needed, this is THE place for venting about AB-related things.
Ditto, I fucking LOVE dress-up scenes and costume porn! Even in books where I know it's technically bad writing and padding and pointless, I still just LOVE ALLLLL THE PRETTY THIIIIIINGS...and as you say, this isn't that at all. It's hateful, mean-spirited, have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too misogynistic crap AND the clothes aren't even cute.
I'm very, very sorry that your childhood was like that, that's terrible. And I definitely feel bad for LKH is something similar happened to her, which would not surprise me. However, taking it out by developing a hateful mindset against other women, especially when you are a grown woman, as you point out, is not okay, and LKH really needs to get her issues out of her work, agreed.
Again, don't feel bad about venting, nothing you just said here isn't absolutely true and spot-on, and it's sure as hell on-topic!
