I actually can’t take this. Why is every woman sexually assaulted or harassed and it’s treated like a joke?

Ok but what’s the PLOT

Why in all male-centred books must women be sex objects? And why is their anger always referred to first with the adjective “feminine [outrage/rage/anger/frustration”. Male = default, female = requires extra descriptors. And is always related to sex.

It’s very well-written and humorous, but it’s kind of just going in circles. I get that they’re all crazy, but what’s next?

This book is very funny, although I am waiting to see what the real plot is rather than just anecdotes outlining how all the men are contradictory and crazy.

[life seems ‘longer if it’s filled with periods of boredom and discomfort’]
‘Maybe a long life does have to be filled with many unpleasant conditions if it’s to seem so long. But it than event, who wants one?’
‘I do’ Dunbar told him.
‘Why?’ Clevinger asked.
‘What else is there?’

Catch-22.
You can get out of duty if you’re crazy, but you have to ask to leave.
You’re crazy for doing what they ask of you, because putting your life at risk to inflict violence is crazy.
But as soon as you realise/admit it (by asking to leave), you’re not crazy anymore.
So you’re trapped, unable to be released from duty.
