The name makes him blink, but Chuuya doesn't comment on it. He's glad Makie recognizes the truth of the matter. It speaks to her intelligence. Enough people get satisfied by what the government does.

"Indeed. It's one of the reasons people are stronger in an organization than without. It takes power to stand up to power."

Even the strongest are stronger with an organization behind them and what all it can provide, whether they are trying to end the world, make a profit, or protect a city. It all comes back to power.

How women are treated sounds like a political question at first, except Makie really doesn't know. She has no idea. Chuuya has never once thought about describing how women are treated, which makes it awkward to try to describe it. "Equal in law, though how much that holds up can vary. There's far more men in positions of power, but women still go to school, work, date or marry who they want, and so on. Not perfect, but like we said, people in power don't want to give it away."
