At least Shaidar Haran is unambiguously evil and his rape is also portrayed unambiguously as an act of evil.
Tylin, who raped Mat, gets portrayed sympathetically and the thing is played for comedic value.
Seems closer to misandry to me.

The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

The rapists are evil, and are presented as such in the books. Go soak your head.

I think the argument that RJ is misogynistic because Rand has 3 GFs is more tenable.

I think giving his hero 3 GFs more likely proves that RJ is a misandrist
