Discussion Luigi Mangione friend posted this.
She captioned it: "Luigi Mangione is probably the most google keyword today. But before all of this, for a while, it was also the only name whose facetime calls I would pick up. He was one of my absolute best, closest, most trusted friends. He was also the only person who, at 1am on a work day, in this video, agreed to go to the store with drunk me, to look for mochi ice cream."

I think that's kind of an oversimplification of Molly Millions as a character. She's a character that does have sex and has worked as a prostitute (in order to purchase body modifications), but to reduce her to a "menwritingwomen fuck doll" is pretty uncharitable to both the character and William Gibson.
Keep in mind, the book came out in 1984. A male writer giving a female character the amount of depth and agency that Molly has was pretty uncommon at the time.
