RHETORIC [Heroic: Failure] – Alright, here we go. We're devoting all your available brain cells to coming up with a question about Odonianism. Scratch that, to coming up with *the* question, the alpha and omega of Odonian questions, and that question is: 1.- (Whisper.) "Are women propertarians?"

Page 50 of Ursula K. Le Guin's novel The Dispossessed, which reads: "I know it. What a man wants is freedom. What a woman wants is property. She'll only let you go if she can trade you for something else. All women are propertarians." "That's a hell of a thing to say about half the human race," said Shevek, wondering if the man was right. Beshun had cried herself sick when he got posted back to Northwest, had raged and wept and tried to make him tell her he couldn't live without her and insisted she couldn't live without him and they must be partners. Partners, as if she could have stayed with any one man for half a year!
