In the aftermath of the kingsmoot, Asha flees her uncle and a marriage by seeking refuge at Deepwood Motte. But Ironborn aren't the only ones after her: So are the "wolves," who turn out to maybe be a different animal at the end of the chapter after a fight for the lives and freedom of her men.

also yeah asha is hardly a feminist, it's interesting because it seems that she had a sort of change of mind during the war of five kings, where in the beginning she was all for balon's plan (most likely to ensure her being heir) but it seems she realised how ruinous it is at some point which led her into this depression. but the point being that the class politics are all present here, throughout the wot5k she was most definitely leading quite a lot of rapes and raids herself.

in regards to the cersei jaime dynamic i think that while that relationship is supposed to be obviously unhealthy grrm also finds something exciting about it, even though i personally think cersei very much views sex as a means to having some sort of control over men/ exercising power in a patriarchal society which makes her relationships transactional/abusive (we never see her enjoying sex in her pov. also we kinda have to understand that grrm has an incest kink (pitch letter reminder)
