Tyrion Lannister sexist?

Do you know what happens, physically, to women who get gang raped? Tyrion already stated that Tysha was bleeding? To think that a 14 year old girl would "willingly" sell herself to a barrack full of guards since she'd fancy the money is absurd. It even states explicitly in the text that Tywin "gave" her to his guards. She had no say in it.

14 year old girl. Gang raped. Bleeding. Think on that for a minute. What sort of mental imagery does this scenario conjure in your mind? How does it look to your inner eye? If you imagine yourself or someone you know in Tysha's place, what would it feel like?

You honestly believe this was willing and/or that Tywion was too dumb to figure out it wasn't a voluntary scenario?

I don't really see how the quote you and Eleana provided us with is proof of much. What are we looking at specifically, the bleeding? Even the gentlest consensual sex with a virgin, especially a 14 year old virgin will lead to bleeding. Tyrion had just experienced that first hand.

I'm sure it must have been agony for Tysha. But if it was clearly remembered as rape wouldn't Tyrion remember cries, please for help, tears, sounds of agony. It's odd he mentions none of these things. Perhaps she was given specific instructions under Tywin's threats before hand. There is nothing in that passage that screems rape, no struggle, no sounds of distress, nothing.

We know it was an it's an awful image but in Tyrion's mind the text doesn't show that he knows.

Should Tyrion know no 14 year old would give herself to a barracks full of men? How many 14 year olds would willingly sell the virginity? Does he know many 14 year old whores? He doesn't know anything but what his father and brother tell him, certainly not the psyche of a 14 year old whore.
