It's a decent read but it felt a bit ham-fisted in its message to me à la “it's uncomfortable when it happens to men isn't it?” sort of way and while yeah it is, it already is when it happens to women so I wanted more from the story.
This story embodies the concept of walking in someone else's shoes. It looks at the world being dominated by a matriarchal society with men getting the treatment and bias judgment women have and do experience. It's not a perfect analogy. It does adhesive the goal for those who are willing to consider the concept upon which the story is based. I think we would live in a better society if we considered what the experience of those who don't have the same privileges as ourselves more regularly.
The opening page was strange and made me not want to read the rest, but I figured: eh, it's short. Let's roll with it.
Ahh! Ok, I get it now.
