Hmmm. I don't understand the word choice behind 'oppressive', I find that odd, but I did react strongly to your SYW sample.

Your story immediately begins with a woman being sexually assaulted, only for your protagonist to come to her rescue, which is a very worn-out trope that a lot of readers are sick to death of.

Someone should do a dark comedy where the couple is enacting a rape fantasy. Enter Don Quixote, our hero, to save the day...
