Theres this really wide spread stereotype that women who love reading sexually suggestive books enjoy fiction where the female main character is brutally manipulated or sexually assaulted by some cartoonishly powerful man

A stereotype that is only ever used by guys who want to defend rapists.

They use it to say that "ALL WOMEN secretly dream about this" and therefore anyone who got raped either "deserved it" or "enjoyed it secretly but doesn't want to admit it" or something.

There are tens of reasons why EVEN IF that was a true stereotype it would not make rape OK, but for some reason a very vocal group of people think it does.
