All are highly educated but frustrated. First of all, free tampons, legal abortion everywhere, and actual jail sentences given to 100% of rapists instead of the 5% we see today. And hopefully, with the right head-bitch in charge, there would be some kind of limit to how much a man was allowed to interrupt and mansplain. The middle-class socialist, he insisted, "is perfectly ready to accept the products of Empire and to save his soul by sneering at the people who hold the Empire together".
