So glad you said this, friends have recommended this and I just can't get past the blatant misogyny. I read the first few and it does not improve.

whenever people learn that I love audiobooks that ask if I've listened to the Dresden Files and then I never ask them for book recs ever again

Read this when I was a teenager and let me just tell you, it does not get better. This is also a trend for this author, they have another series

omg This is exactly why I stopped reading it. Being inside a straight man's head was kind of traumatizing.

I knew someone who LOVED the Dresden Files but I never bothered but hearing you talk about it explains a lot. He and I are no longer friends.

That’s part of his character arc thru the series. It causes many problems. Dresden is deeply imperfect but always trying to do better.
