Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that Donaldson's work was bad, per se, more a comment on how really rapey most of the male characters are in what I've read. It was bad enough that I just couldn't finish reading the book (I think it was the first Thomas Covenant one). It didn't help that I loathed every character - I find that there has to be at least one sympathetic character in a book for me to continue reading. If I just hate them all, I just do not enjoy the book. I had the same problem with Orson Scott Card's Speaker for the Dead. Everyone was just irritating and unpleasant, and that was after I barely made it through Ender's Game for the same reason.
