Oh ha. Men can’t even THINK of what to cook. Blerg gender essentialism.

I’ve read a lot of light romance with a Xian bent, but this one betrays a really destructive theology. The female characters ALWAYS defer to male characters. Just being Xian proves that one is a good person. You know, I can’t imagine someone saying that to me if I were scared of someone. What a terrifying response to a fear.

Continues bizarre, and with some Very Odd assumptions. How will a son turn out if his father disappears? Clearly This Is a Terrible Danger! Character fears working for a large man because she won’t be able to fend him off? Reassure her, male authority figure, that man is a Xian! He totally is no threat!
