Also when they say it’s “the character, not the author” who feels/thinks this way. Okay, sure, but who wrote the character that way? The author!
So it’s not the author who is sexist towards women, but rather the character. That the author made and could have created with any characteristics they wanted. And they chose sexism.
At the end of the day though, I don’t care if the author is sexist or not, I have no interest in reading about un-challenged, blatant, casual sexism in my books that should be fun. I deal with enough of it in real life.
