Well, this will certainly give you food for thought. It was all sorts of fucked up and terrifying. It will live in my mind forever.

Everyone should read this book at least once. It’s a story everyone can relate to, as we all are affected by gender and it’s power dynamics. This book made me relook at human history itself, and wonder. All that being said, strongly recomend.
