My favourite novel was, without a doubt, one with a back-story like, Pride and Prejudice?
Hah hah hah! What a ridiculous premise, if true, that is!
So the party takes place on a planet where everyone knows everyone else's opinions and is effectively submissive!
Isn't it also a story of interpersonal conflict, where the only option is love?
It is!
It's great! Everyone knows their own personal opinions, but everyone can talk to each other! SEXY PEOPLE ARE STILL MAKING SPECIFIC ANSWERS TO THOSE RULES.
It's a good story about the challenges and seedy side of life?
It's a very good book, if you are into sexual politics!
As with most things, it is a portrait of the compromises women make, sometimes literally!
For example, one woman was having second thoughts while she was having sex with a man. And when she broached it she said "For what? To have second thoughts? I don't know; these are the thoughts that come to me."
MEANWHILE, IN THE UNIVERSE WHERE THE DUDE WHO CREATED THE UNIVERSE HAS TOLD HER HE THING.
HE ALSO SAYS THAT HE WAS TERRIFIED AFTER WRITING IT.
"I think it's fair," he said.
"I think it's something for dinner! I'll probably write the sentences on the chalkboard," said the other man.
"See? I wrote the sentences on the chalkboard? Whoah. Wow. Really wrote the sentences on the chalkboard? Wow. Really? Did that work? Let me know! I'll call the cops."
