X-ray than to alter in the least degree the quality of emotion that arises between
a man and a maid.
The relationship between a man and a maid is a core characteristic of a society.
The complexity of changing such relationships is attested to by TFA, and yet, in many places, over a hundred years, we see (hard fought) change.
A hundred years ago, or even fifty years ago, the downfalls of Dominic Strauss-Kahn, Jeffrey Epstein, and Harvey Weinstein were inconceivable.
