“We have this scene (from a cartoon) that's very much
in the same world as the previous one. It's suggesting that if
women gain rights, if women seek power and win power, they're going
to abandon their domestic duties. They're going to force men to
become more womanly, and it's going to lead to other changes,
including challenging the class hierarchies.”
