I loved so much that the overall narrative was Robin and Tui surviving this terrible stuff, and not on their victimization. Like it was actually a real story about a patriarchal culture, which was painful and uncomfortable, but it also validated Robin's view of this as a diseased culture, and didn't portray her as overreacting or too angry or whatever.

Yes. I love that Robin was angry but that the narrative never told us that her anger was too intense, or unjustified, or something she shouldn't be allowed. It's the sort of anger that male characters are allowed all the time, but that female characters so rarely are. She's allowed to throw a dart at a guy and stab evil-rapist-dude with a broken bottle, and then she suffers the same quickly undone punishment that any male character would suffer.

And I think there's a discussion to be had about how the "cure" for this town is more violence, while the one true outsider, GJ, ends up just walking away. I'm just not sure where to start that discussion.
