Yes. This. She uses the stereotype to basically preach her religion of men = good, women = bad. Only in a lot of ways men are awful, too, because they constantly try to keep her heroine down. So the only good man is a man with tits.
Really, the only person in her mind who is in any way worthy is Anita. Sex appeal of a woman--but only one type of women, because all other types of women are bad--but all man under the skin. But don't you dare call her butch, because then someone might think she's a scary lesbian, and lesbians are frightening and might want to touch her.
(Hey, we're not that far apart. Cis, y-chromosome, very-recently-realized-he's-bisexual-and-not-gay. And I've only read one full book, and forced my way through various chunks of others for research purposes.)
