Query: Hard to read past author's hatred of women

The writing was good, the story intriguing, but I constantly stumbled over the author's clear hatred of women.I won't go into the inability to finish or even provide good background for any of the 8 story lines going on, it is, after all meant to be a series. What I found hard to read past was the underlying disrespect, hatred and contempt for women. There are no less than 8 rape scenes, including a whole culture where rape is an accepted means of procreation. Leave aside the incest, (you are suppose to hate those characters) even one of the heroes commits child molestation and rape.So let's set all that aside and consider that every woman in the cast of characters is portrayed as either conniving and vindictive, insane, weak or painfully foolish, except the little girl masquerading as a boy.Don't know what is going on in the author's life to make him hate women so, but it makes it difficult to read about the world of his creation.
