Blindness by José Saramago
DID NOT FINISH: 83%

Reeeeeally strong sexist vibes, especially in the second half. Just unnecessary descriptions of rape, and beyond that Unnecessary emphasis and detailed description of rainwater falling between beasts and into genitalia; and a whole bunch of small comments that were hard to identify as being either sexist or something close to sexist. 

Also SO much detailed discussion of poop. Every chapter mentions how much poop is everywhere, numerous times. I'm not even joking. I was trying to stick it out to the end, but I just can't.
