“Death and despair, hunger and pain. Poverty, hatred, war. They rampaged through the realm and devoured everything in their path, eating away at the people and turning them into diseased wretches, into them, into the evils. They grew and spread like a cancer, mutating everything pure and good into the worst things that this universe could imagine.”

“We’re not doing anything illegal.” I ground my jaw. They weren’t wrong. It wasn’t illegal to spoil your male child so much that he was ruined completely, while you forced the female one to do the bulk of the family's unpaid domestic labor. It wasn’t illegal to be appallingly sexist, to perpetuate gender stereotypes, to give the golden boy child everything while at the same time denying a talented girl some amazing opportunities. Our whole society had been set up like that, in fact, and it had been that way for thousands and thousands of years.”

“I scanned the letter quickly and found a contact number listed on the bottom. My heart leapt. That never happened. No government department actually wanted you to call them anymore, so they never listed an actual phone number. They wanted you to talk to an AI chatbot online so you could both go round and round in circles, getting more and more frustrated, until you finally gave up in a fit of frustration.”

“Honestly, feminism isn’t doing enough for my liking, Brain-Daphne growled, sharpening a blade in my mind’s eye. If we had equality, then we’d see the opposite of this very situation happening far more often, but we never do. We should have more boys forced to stay home while the girls go off to follow their dreams and become entrepreneurs and set up their own podcasts and shit. We should have more all-female boardrooms and governments. More husbands should take their wives' last names, but they don’t. Women could at least try committing half of all violent crime, but they don’t even do that! We don’t have equality at all. I think it’s time for misandry. And more stabbing.”
