She skips over some of the very disturbing man-on-man violation in the books (e.g., Tywin Lannister's cruelty to his dwarf son, Doran Martell v. Gregor Glegane, etc., etc.) to substantiate her critique that it's just the women who get abused. It's really not so. The possibility that your favorite (or, really, any) character could die a horrible death (or get raped, tortured or disfigured) at any time makes the story compelling. Maybe it's a cheap trick, but it totally works. In the newest book, there is a thread about a (male) character who has been so thoroughly broken by torture that he takes on a completely different personality. Very nasty. It's suspense via sadism and the seemingly random breaking of narrative rules that keeps the series so hook-y (as well as rape-y and hoke-y).
