He is also attacked, kidnapped, and or attempted to be seduced by women roughly ten times as much. :p At the very least women make plans to do these things an awful lot.
Speaking of sexism in stories, anyone read the spellsong cycle and the spellsong war by L. E. Modesitt, Jr? It had a really interesting magic system imo, and I also liked the storyline a lot. The main character is female, and a large part of the series is devoted to her specifically having to deal with a misogynistic medieval society and the problems caused when the people in power refuse to admit that a woman can be strong, or have rights for that matter.
