A misandrist hates men. A misogynist hates women. A misanthrope hates people regardless of gender.
Which of these labels do you feel best fits Anita? Do any of them fit the character?
Personally, I don't think this character cares for men at all. She seems to be a bottomless pit (you should excuse the term) of need for manbits. And despite what Freud thought, most women do not have penis envy. After all, we can borrow one most any time we want and we don't have to worry about maintenance or upkeep.
The ardeur as I understand it removes choice from its victim(s). Anita's partner (for lack of a better term) is reduced to food. Dehumanized, his intrinsic worth as an individual is stripped away and he exists only to sustain Anita's need.
Rape is about power and control. It is not about sexual desire. It is still rape if your victim has an orgasm.
My current theory is that the more LKH feels out of control, the more rape scenes she'll write add in the Anita/Merry-verses.
