"Why aren't we ever the oppressing assholes? Why is everything a reaction for us?"
"Because," Saloni said. "Women were built to endure the rules men make." 

I really enjoyed the characters in this book. It is also unexpectedly funny. If you are looking for a book that explores the concept that “men should feel lucky that women want equality and not revenge” then this book is for you!
