What is this book about, and how is it sexist?

The book's about wannabe actors in a fantasy world. The sexism's basically this: http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-confessions-female-nice-guy/

I'm also confused. And what a fucking stupid article.

Copy-pasting:

It falls into the whole Madonna/Whore aspect of what the article's talking about. It seems to be written from a worldview where there are Good Girls who don't have sex, and there are Bad Girls who are "sluts" and have no morals, and guys always fall for the Bad Girls and ignore the Good Girls. The catch is that it's mostly written from the perspective of the men who're having sex with the Bad Girls, so it's contrasting these shallow or manipulative relationships with the deep and loving but totally not homosexual, nothing to see here relationship between two men. It reminds me of the way yaoi fanfiction turns any woman who "gets in the way" into a shrieking harpy.

(To be clear, this is the way that one specific series is sexist. Other authors can be sexist in completely different ways.)
