Maybe I should reread this. IDK. I do 100% believe that Diaz meant to problematize the brutal sexism in the book, but he did that by hammering the reader with hundreds of pages of brutal sexism. Maybe he's trying to criticize Yunior's point of view, but Yunior doesn't know that, so we just see all the girls through the fuck-object/troll lens...same as a billion other books. The effect is exactly the same, so I'm not sure Diaz succeeded in "interrogating" it.
