So...the women there get no say in who their Masters will be?


Ronald Coleman is asking about their religion - 'moderation in everything' - and asks what happens when one man wishes to 'have a woman who belongs to another'. What would happen if the other man wants that woman?

Easy! The woman is given to the man who wants her most!

What about the woman? Doesn't SHE get a say?

And if a woman wants another man, "Easy! The man is given to the woman who wants him most."

Nuf said.

Yeah, I walked in during that scene and was glad I skipped the movie. Some utopia! Sounds like a male chauvinist fantasy as well as a white supremacist imperialist fantasy. Dee-sgusting!

you do know that women start to age rapidly the moment they turn towards feminism. Its all that fretting, bitterness and teeth-sucking.

Yep, the moment you leave heteropatriarchal safe-space of shangri-la the withering starts

You're a feminist?
Isn't that precious.
