Even though this book is very much a metaphor for gender roles and societal expectations, I don’t think it’s such a stretch to say that the ideas presented in this story could apply to a number of groups.

I mean, not to push, but when I thought about this book from the perspective me and my autism and how people seem to perceive my existence it kinda hurt a lot more.
