Are the characters oblivious to the unjustness, are they in favor, are they railing against it, or just feel powerless to affect the unjustness? I'm assuming that matters to LL, to a certain extent, I think it matters to me. I don't know whether LL commented on 1984, but if she finds it shockingly offensive because of the unjust society, she's missing the point.

The general theme of this thread is that people disagree with her decision to attack books on more or less those grounds...
Although I don't think she attacked
1984 -- as far as I am aware, the unjust society inside the story of
1984 didn't target women...
Yes we agree she is missing the point.
