Yes, these are they. The image of the woman in Geralt's world is male-gazey and acted-upon, except when they are violent, evil, or otherwise monstrous. Men are their victims or patsies, or there to be manipulated... until the women are overcome by Mighty Phallic Brains, or otherwise.
I'm not happy? But I want to see if this changes in any way in subsequent volumes. I am willing to give Sapkowski three books to shape up, because the style and content is otherwise interesting.
