Yup. I remember Anita thinking this about Peter's girlfriends too. It's a jarring thought of hers that is treated offhandedly by the author. As if any tough, logical, pragmatic person would come to the same conclusion. Yuck.
I tried to fix this in my head, thinking Anita's attitude is evidence of just how much her own experiences with taking men against their will have damaged her. But I don't think LKH is that good of an author, nor that interested in giving Anita any kind of real flaw.
