Going back to Stephen King though and how he writes about women, have you read Sleeping Beauties? Not sure if he's had a bit of an ephiny or if it's his sons influence in that book but it's all about how men treat women and is not a bad reflection of r/l

Spoiler:

Yeah, he's not known for being great at writing female characters if I remember right.

Audra's a lot better in the book and the whole thing about Bill feeling guilty about faking his illness is something that's been put in place of his original storyline that involved Audra heavily.

I've not read Sleeping Beauties, no, I might have to though. I have a very love/hate relationship with the books of his that I've read though. I do love IT but it's so very flawed in parts and plus there's parts that are just straight up wrong.
