And even if I am missing something, am I missing the parts of the book where his treatment for women is treat like a minor character flaw (at best) that should be considered to be just part of his awesome manly awesomeness?
the "These stupid whores don't know what's good for them. I'M good for them" fratboy mentality treated like a fucking super hero for men does make me literally feel sick.

Eh? The only relationship in the books that had that vibe was Harry/Susan in the early books, back when we were still mostly in Noir territory, and 'Grave Peril' slapped Harry in the face for that hard. After that, every time he's veered towards thinking that way, either the woman or the circumstances slap him around the head for it again. Karrin never put up with it (though I don't like his relationship with her either, really), Elaine was openly acknowledged as a childhood crush that ended spectacularly badly for mostly external reasons (Justin will do that to a relationship), and every other woman he's come across is usually unavailable, more powerful, evil, or just unsuitable, and usually for external reasons rather than them 'not knowing what's good for them'. All of them had reasons in the text, and were borne out in them (Karrin, Luccio, Lash, etc). Most of the time these days Harry's the one pointing out that he's the opposite of what's good for them. Which is legitimate, not his self-esteem problems talking. He actually is the opposite of good for people most of the time.
