I've been listening to the Wizard of Oz books at work cause of this thread. It turns out in the same book where the boy Tippi is revealed to secretly be Queen Ozma, the Emerald City got conquered by MILITANT SUFFRAGETTES who forced all the men to do housework instead of women. It's only when Tippi gets turned back into a girl that the ROWDY FEMINISTS get deposed by the rightful ruler Ozma -- so on a wide plot level I got a kind of negative pressure out of it, idk

At the same time, Tippi tries to reserve the right to go back-back to being a boy if he doesn't like being a girl and Baum kind of implies the men are losers for whining so much about work they ordinarily make the women do, so it's not like unilateral or anything. I also haven't gotten to story where Ozma kisses Dorothy yet
