Beatrice answers “Am I the only one who found Mark Watney...”

Ariel asked this question about The Martian:

Am I the only one who found Mark Watney (and well, the rest of the book too really...) to be rather sexist?

Beatrice I agree.

I DNFed the book when I read this part:

I DNFed the book when I read this part:
"When they'll inevitably blame Commander Lewis, be advised I'll publicy refute it. I'm sure the rest of the crew will do the same.
Also, please tell them that each and every one of their mothers is a prostitute.
- Watney
PS: Their sisters, too"

But honestly I couldn't bear any more joke: his locker room humor wasn't for me, at all(less)
