I too struggled with the women becoming so aggressive so quickly after millennia of oppression. I would have welcomed some reflection of the inner struggle some women must have felt. I also felt there was some prurience in the huge number of depictions of violence.

They really piss me off. Surely they can't last much longer?<br /><br />And yes, the concept really is awesome, but it seems to be really, really hard to write well.Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015659149421085931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730322.post-86121983978280094952017-02-12T04:26:35.829+00:002017-02-12T04:26:35.829+00:00Ooooh, I want this but it's not out where I li...Ooooh, I want this but it's not out where I live for another year, dammit.<br /><br />I tried writing a NaNo novel once where women were equally as strong as men.
