Gynosupremacy 2

This is really the first chapter of the story proper and was written by Longhair.  I just tweaked it a bit to combine it with my own setting.

Gynocracy - part 1

By Longhair

George Hammond often asked himself how he could have passed from being a normal free man to a slave under the control of his wife and his step-daughter.  He was now 50 years old and could remember everything of the world of his childhood and adolescence. In his memories the world had been a nice place for both men and women.  The balance of power was just a little bending towards the male gender but females had earned a lot of civil rights and social consideration. All that started to change when George was 11.  That was when women gained the telepathic powers that would change the world forever. 

That event had sparked a third world war as many men simply could not accept the changes that had to be made to accommodate the practical realities of the new situation.  Not all men turned to the side of these rebel terrorists.  Not all women were without sympathy for them.  But the result was that the planet was ravaged as considerable numbers of men from almost all the nations of the world fought violently to resist people who agreed with these changes being put into power.  There were a lot of innocent victims.  Of course, in the end, women won.  Again, how could they not?  Capture one man and they knew everything he knew.  Round up those he knew about and any woman would in turn learn everything they knew.  Women could learn their strategies and tactics and use them against them.  A lot of men were at least smart enough to know that the conclusion was inevitable.  The days of rule by physical strength and brute force aggression were over.  The war was devastating but quick and the immediate result of it was a deep disgust for male political and economical systems and the male mentality that had caused such a completely unnecessary war of which the results were inevitable to begin with. 

There were old traditions and ideas that both women and men had been indoctrinated out of, of course.  So the changes were one step at a time.  But they slowly advanced towards a matriarchal society where young boys were not raised to think themselves superior to girls and women.  If anything, they were raised to think the opposite, that females were superior, because it was true.  It led to a semi-communistic system where the quest for political power was not the object of desire of males because it was in the hands of females. In a few years a non-violent world revolution led gradually women to the power in almost all the main and industrialized countries, men were gradually deprived of any political power and forced to a second role in society, and soon methods were developed to curb the male impulse to launch revolutions by distracting them with other pressing needs that curbed their capacity to think clearly.  There was a new order, with a resulting new culture, new morality, new political and economical system.

On a theoretical level, it seemed wonderful for women and men.  It all seemed wonderful to George as a reality- until he turned 18.
