"We can go to the pool. Or we can play some football with my friends. Ah, if you don't want that, Olivia, we can also play some games."

Her mother had to intervene at that point.

"Don't stay inside too much during vacation, kids."

Olivia thought about it and answered.

"Well, I can at least be the referee if you want to do some sports."

"Come on, you can play too. We all know you so no one will mock you even if you suck."

"Ugh, I know I don't play sports a lot but you don't have to be so blunt."

"Sorry, sorry. I have some other ideas of stuff we can do but let's talk about it later."

Her mother intervened here.

"Kiana..."

"W-what?"

"Don't make your cousins do something foolish this time."

"Ray, what do you think about this world?"

"That's a pretty vague question. Can't you be a bit more specific?"

"I'm talking men and women and the relationship between them. I have my opinion on the subject but I wanted to hear someone else's point of view."

"Hmm, so, is there anything wrong with it? Are you talking about the recent masculist movements? Or the fact that men are getting more rights recently?"

"Not really. See, I've been thinking recently but don't you think the world is somewhat unfair to women?"

"What? I never thought you'd say that, Ben. Especially since you always complain that it's painful to have six females around you all the time."

"Yeah. But let's forget about me. What do you think about it?"

"Let's see... The world is unfair to women, you say? Hmm, I don't think that's the case. The people in power are still mostly women and men are far from being able to get into high-level jobs and positions as easily, right? On top of that, there are still some salary differences between men and women even if they have the same job. You could say the world is actually unfair to men, even if it's slowly getting better."

"What about how women are biologically so, well, horny all the time and there's nothing they can do about it?"

"I wish it wasn't the case, really. This is more of a pain to deal with for us guys. I'm sure you've been bothered by girls all the time at school too, right? That sucks, I wish they'd just leave us alone."

Ray's opinion was very interesting because it reflected something he had heard a lot from other males in this world. Of course, he was still a teenager and wasn't very empathic about women's issues, focusing more on his side of the problem. He also didn't have Benjamin's experience of women in this world and a way to compare with another world where things were the reverse from here.

"What about from women's point of view? Don't you think it's painful for them to have such strong urges all the time even if they don't want to?"

Ray looked at him, lightly surprised, before thinking about it for a moment.

"I've never thought about it this way. I guess there might be some women who are bothered by it? Well, if you think about it, you could say that history has been built because women were chasing after men aggressively all the time. No doubt the world's population would be a lot lower if that wasn't the case!"
