Heavenly Tyrant (Iron Widow, #2)

by Xiran Jay Zhao

“Since when did we as a species abide by good sense? Why do cowardly men strike their wives after a reprimand at work? Why do mothers scream at their children after a beating by their husbands? Those unable to conquer their misfortunes take their fury out on more convenient targets. It does not surprise me that women were forced into stricter subservience after Huaxia suffered a major defeat.”

After all, a society that takes care of its own does not produce children who grow up dreaming of burning it down.”

People aren’t interested in facts; they’ll believe the spin on a story that best reinforces their existing opinions.
