Ruler Curse You All Male In a world where power and authority frequently reside in the hands of men, women have historically faced numerous challenges and obstacles in their pursuit of equality and fair treatment. The hierarchical structure of societies often places men in positions of leadership, while relegating women to subordinate positions. This gender imbalance has resulted in a multitude of injustices, perpetuating a cycle of discrimination and oppression. The phrase "Ruler Curse You All Male" captures the frustration and anger felt by those who have been marginalized and oppressed by male-dominated systems of power. It signifies a call for change, an expression of discontent with the status quo. The curse serves as a rallying cry for gender equality and the dismantling of patriarchal norms that have long inhibited progress.

The curse serves as a rallying cry for gender equality and the dismantling of patriarchal norms that have long inhibited progress.

Sideways Pike is desperate. It turns out that Madeline Kline didn’t want to make out with her; infinitely worse, she was only flirting to get access to Sideways’ specter. Madeline has ripped the magical soul out of Sideways’ throat, and with it, everything that makes a witch feel whole. Madeline would know: the Chantry boys took hers, and she’s going to use Sideways’ specter to hunt them down and get it back.

Sideways Pike, lesbian witch extraordinaire, isn’t going to let little things like a treacherous crush or a brutal family of creepy witch hunters stop her, even if it means tracking down Madeline without the Scapegracers—her best friends, her coven, the girls she’s come to love ferociously above all else. But Sideways and her trusty bike are in for a bumpy ride . . .
