Damn, I had high hopes for Elizabeth. I thought she was going to be a normal high school kid who was intelligent but now she's just a Sue-groupie...
And the whole feminism/matriarchal society thing makes me want to run my head into a wall. I know it's possible to have a matriarchal society in a story and not either bash the men or completely ignore them. Why? 'CAUSE I DID IT. In my story, yes, the society if matriarchal and most of the leaders are females, but all (except for one...but he's the bad guy XD.) of the men are respected. Hell, one of them they are focusing on because he won't survive the winter so the group is trying to help him. I just treat the matriarchal society as that the women are in leadership positions for the most part. Otherwise, Men aren't treated as consorts and women aren't treated as baby carriers. It's...not all that difficult.
