I avoided Tehanu for so long because I heard it was “too radical,” but when I actually read the book, I realized the people I heard that from were probably men.

The criticism of it like that is so funny to me. Her afterword was really good, she mentioned something like people thinking she was taking away Ged’s power as some sort of emasculating punishment, which makes no sense to me seeing as he gave up his power to save and change literally everything, and the only people who have judged him are men obsessed with power.
