Yes, if taken out of context. And this is one of my niggles with her review, she brought up the possibility of these things being satirical, and they said they werent. This is something an editor should have caught (no matter how great an editor you are, you cant do your own work)

As you will always see what you meant rather than what you said). It is indeed satirical exaggerated misogyny, crime, politics etc. That can not be debated. What CAN be debated is whether the satires execution was pulled off, or whether it tried and fell flat. I know how she saw it, and I know damn well how my wife would see it.
