Also, there are multiple references to male characters wishing they were allowed to beat a female character, because obviously she really needs a good beating. One of them is the male lead, who routinely physically shakes the female lead when he's frustrated with her. But she's cool with it, and has no sympathy for victimized women in general. It's played for laughs.

Oh, gross. Not long after raping his girlfriend, Jaxom sexually harasses a healer whose voice he thinks is pretty. He literally grabs her and forces her to stand where he can see her, and says "Oh, no, you don't" when she tries to break free. Which she tries to do several times, btw. He condescends to tell her that she probably doesn't think she's beautiful, but he does. From now on I'm picturing Jaxom in a fedora.

"He was thoroughly disgusted and revolted by the way he had used Corana. The fact that she seemed to have matched what he had to admit was a violent lust dismayed him. Their relationship, once innocent pleasure, had somehow been sullied."
He goes on to reassure himself that at least he helped her finish hoeing the field after he raped her. (Also, she totally liked it. Because of course she did.)

Jaxom witnesses some dragons mating and gets super horny, so he goes to see his girlfriend, who's busy working in the field.
"Pinning her against him with his right arm, he found the offending hoe with his left hand. Wrenching it from her grasp, he spun it away from them. Corana struggled to get free, as unprepared for this mood in him as he was."
Jaxom proceeds to sexually assault her. Awesome.

RE: F'nor worrying that some rando dragonrider dude will brutalize sweet virgin Brekke. To prevent said rando from conducting a depraved deflowering, F'nor picks Brekke up and takes her into the bushes. Then: "He wanted to be gentle but, unaccountably, Brekke fought him. She pleaded with him, crying out wildly...He wasn't gentle but he was thorough..."
In the end she likes it. Of course.

Into Dragonquest now. These books are terrible. Seriously, what am I missing? Why is this series so beloved?
