For the Book Riot 2016 Read Harder challenge, this title fell under Task 7 (Read a dystopian or post-apocalyptic novel) and Task 19 (Read a Nonfiction Book About Feminism or Dealing With Feminist Themes). 
 We've given them more than we've taken away, said the Commander. Think of the trouble they had before. Don't you remember the singles' bars, the indignity of high school blind dates? The meat market. Don't you remember the terrible gap between the ones who could get a man easily and the ones who couldn't? Some of them were desperate, they starved themselves thin or pumped their breasts full of silicone, had their noses cut off. Think of the human misery. 
 This way, they all get a man, nobody's left out. 
 This way, they can fulfill their biological destinies in peace. 
 Yikes. I've read a lot of dystopian fiction, but mostly describing a society that has "always been this way"; this story was different in that it described the transition from normal society to horrifying oppression ((view spoiler)[showing up at work one day only to find that it's now illegal for you to hold a job, having all of your wealth transferred to your husband, etc. (hide spoiler)]). This made for an engaging read: rather than pitying a poor character who didn't know better, I felt her frustration and, hopeless though the situation seemed, at least hoped she didn't let the bastards grind her down.
