do you agree this is an extremely misogynistic book?

I know more about what Alice's tits look like than what her face does. Nearly every female character in the book is described from the basis of how attractive or sexy she is. Yeah, the main character is a young man who's also a terrible person, so it's not odd that it's what he focuses on, but the writer also makes a choice in what he writes about and he certainly chooses sexy young women. I can recall.. maybe two female characters who aren't young and/or fuckable? (less)
