• Rana's story. Sometimes love truly isn't enough.
• The fate of the separated men and women in "How the Sexes Were Separated" is pretty upsetting to consider. Both men and women are psychologically abused by Sky God and their creator, the Great Mother, does nothing but hope that one day they'll see reason and start worshiping her again over Sky God. The situation for the men is arguably even worse - they are brainwashed into hating women and are trapped in a cycle of self-loathing as they're told it's wrong to feel sexual desire, and the Great Mother shows no interest in actually intervening to protect them from their abuser (unlike women, who the story treats as more deserving of sympathy and thus are given the power of childbirth and ancient knowledge from the Great Mother).
