Status Updates From Embrace and Conquer

“Women who lived with men, who learned on them, looking to them for their lives and livelihood, whether fathers, brothers, husbands, or lovers, were deluded. Men died, they changed, they left or were forced to leave…. The woman who could not stand alone, was like a crippled, beggar, dependent always on the indifferent kindness of men. Those who sought their security and such would never find it.”

Big setting dump, which is not uncommon for this era. Got better when a chamber pot is dumped on some soldiers, which is how our hero and heroine meet. Ooh la la!
