It’s been a few months since I have finished the book, but it still pops up in my mind from time to time. It’s like a mirror held up by a woman showing us our flaws as a society, how actual power or perceived power and physical dominance has shaped our entire human history, just with the promise of physical punishment towards the subordinated and the threat of violence among the people fighting for a spot in power.
What really surprised me is just how hard it hit me that women started acting just like men did, when they had the upper hand. Makes you think, if power is truly the reason behind some of the real life atrocities committed in the real world, or are we also missing something in the reasons why things happen. In any case, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, even with it’s gut punching moments. It is definitely an interesting answer to the question “What if women ruled the world, what would change” and the answer is “Everything and nothing at all”.
