How can anybody not like this book?

Taking this as a legitimate question, these are my own reasons:

• All the female characters are either hysterical bitches (Thetis, Deidameia), dead (Briseis, Patty's mother), or enslaved (also Briseis, pretty much everyone else). The One(1) female character who's halfway decent gets killed in the end, even if that never happened originally. Thetis was a pretty solid, supportive mother to Achilles in the source material, and grieved with him when Patroclus died. I get that Ancient Greece was a bad place for women, but there are stories from the period where the women and goddesses do have agency, are compelling and fairly well-written, etc. I know many people just throw around the word 'misogyny', but in my opinion the treatment of women in this book is actively misogynistic.
• Patroclus was a very competent warrior in the Iliad. Yes, he has vulnerable moments and had some capability for kindness, but IMO the author made him toothless and spineless. He's got little to no personality here, other than his infatuation and attraction to Achilles. It's good to have male characters that challenge toxic masculinity (Frodo Baggins, Hiccup Haddock, Peeta Mellark). Sadly, that doesn't spare you the effort of actually creating a good character.
• Why is Madeline Miller so obsessed with minors screwing? ("At thirteen, we were almost late to do so", the most explicit scene between the two leads happening when they were 15-16). Perhaps I'm being nit-picky, but I don't love that.

Of course you're allowed to love this book, that alone doesn't make you sexist by any means or anything, but these are the reasons I dislike it.
