Did the Underground Manrape Liza, the prostitute? I'm not sure.
Also, what do you think was the meaning of the book? What I got from it was that Dostoevsky was dissing idealists who think enough scientific advancement and logic and reasoning will make the world a utopia because people will always act in their best interests which is not possible, because this assumes that people are always rational and do what is best for them, which we all know isn't true. He was also dissing "bookish" people, people obsessed with thinking about life, with no desire to actually do anything because they're scared of real life.

no.
also, to get a more comprehensive view of Dostoyevsky's Underground Man you have to read Crime and Punishment.
he definitely took some jabs at everyone, no one was safe from critique, but it was written as a satire. You'd much much better understand Notes after reading C&P

I refuse to read any books about prostitutes. Or whore female protagonists. Was gonna read Notes From Underground but not too eager. I have it somewhere on my computer though. Must learn to not distance myself from a book if the characters don't morally align with my personal values. Ex: cheating. nononono

this book is like a paradox to me... everyone would love to live in the crystal palace, yet no one would obey the rules.... it's like the more choice and freedom the man has the worse, why is humanity so fucked up?

Because the utopian life is boring. It's the end game. No more achievements left to get. Mankind lives for the struggle. They love it so much, they'll invent struggle when there isn't any.
