(I wish this is not only a fiction but a prophecy of our future world!)
The 1970's, 80's and 90's a quiet revolution was underway, and it began in the classroom. It had been known since the 1960's that girls did better than boys at school and educators deliberately made exams harder for girls in order to maintain the illusion that boys were better students. From the 1980's, the genders were put on a level playing field and took the same exams. Affimative action to get girls more interested in science and maths was implemented. The girls stepped up to the plate and hit an instant and enduring home run. From 1988, girls consistently outperformed boys at every level of education, a lead that has never been relinquished.
As a result, more girls than ever went to university and by the late 1990's for the first time ever comprised the majority of university undergraduates. This fed into the workplace, with more female graduates than before getting well paid jobs. The number of households where the wife was the main breadwinner increased significantly.
Women also became more active in sports and athletics during this era.
Over the same period, the nature of the economy in the western world had changed radically, with the dramatic shrinkage of the manufacturing industries that had employed and generously paid a large number of men and an increase in service industries, which relied on communication skills, where women held the advantage. Former male miners and factory workers found themselves on the scrapheap, whilst their wives became the breadwinners. Going into the mines or becoming a skilled factory worker, all well paid jobs, were the fall back positions for those boys who were not academically gifted, but now those jobs had gone.
It was no longer a man's world.
Female Ascendant (2000 - 2024)
The success of girls in the education system accelerated dramatically and of all girls taking exams they took 75% of the top grades of school and college grades compared to 65% of boys who took the exams. Girls outnumbered boys in universities by 6:4, with the drop out rate amongst boys higher than that of girls. Male graduates found it harder than their female contemporaries to find work.
Female graduates flooded the previously male dominated professions of medicine, the legal profession, dentistry, finance and accountancy. Male representation in those professions shrank rapidly as fewer male graduates filtered through.
In the education system and in the workplace, males were still relying on male privilege to hand them degrees and well paid, high status jobs on a silver platter, but suddenly, that was not going to happen any longer and it only gradually dawned on males that they would have to do better to earn degrees and jobs by merit alone, on the same basis as females, who were doing better than them in the education system.
In the home, increasingly numbers of households depended on the income of a woman, rather than that of a man, to survive. A significant number of men had become househusbands, financially dependent upon their female partner, and taking on the traditionally female roles of homemaker and child carer.
Women were becoming increasingly interested in sports, such as soccer, swimming, rowing and cricket. Men were becoming, conversely, less inclined towards physical pursuits, preferring to follow their favourite team on television in the pub. As a result, women were gaining competitive skills and physical strength and endurance, whilst men were losing their competitive instincts and were losing their physical superiority over women by sedentary activity.
The killer punch to male dominance came in 2008-09 with the worst recession since the Wall Street Crash in 1929. 85% of the jobs lost as a result of that recession were those of males. Males always fared worse than females in the recessions of the past, but this was something else, and in early 2010, women became the majority of the US workforce for the first time ever. The number of households where the woman was the primary wage earner rose sharply and, correspondingly, so did the number of househusbands.
As women pointed out, the "He-cession" had been man-made, for it was the recklessness and cavalier attitude of the male dominated banks that had caused it and women all over the world began to question the wisdom of entrusting the management of the economy to males.
The traditional gender roles were being reversed.
The Transition (2024 - 2029)
America had its first female President, but the impetus for change did not come from the Oval Office. The Senate and Congress were still largely populated by men, which inhibited the President's freedom of action.
Change was happening in the schools, colleges, universities, offices, shops and factories. Girls were still outperforming boys at every level in the education system. Educators now tried desperately to implement affirmative action in favour of boys. But they found that it was too little, too late.
Girls had conquered boys academically. Girls were also defeating boys on the sports field as they formed their own soccer, basketball, baseball and ice hockey teams and proceeded to demolish the boys' teams. Girls were generally fitter, more agile, faster both in body and mind and more focused. The boys tended to underestimate the girls and were more easily distracted.
Dejected and stunned, the boys left the field to their female victors.
Female sports would become the mainstream, whilst male accomplishment would be of secondary interest, as women's sports had once been.
Girls had proven their superiority to boys on both an intellectual and even a physical level. Boys, discouraged by their defeat, seemed to lack the resources to bounce back and recover lost ground. Retreat in the classroom and the sportsfield seemed to be the preferred option, rather than admit that they were inferior to their female peers and trying to be the best that they could be.
As men lost their jobs, more women were employed into the service industries, and more men found themselves ensconced into the role of homemaker. Women, focused on efficiency and productivity, adopted suits. Some women were already insisting that their male spouse adopt more feminine clothing and behaviour, and, as women held the power in the relationship, men were obliged to obey, albeit reluctantly.
Up until this point, chastity had been a game between adult males and females. However, the New World with it's energy crises, population increases, stretched resources, STD's,
**** and out-of-control underage pregnancies, lead mothers to seek new ways of protecting their teenage sons. Many merely sought to protect their young sons from becoming teenage fathers, seduced by young girls and forced into early marriage. Also, women's natural dislike of male **** and the knowledge of how this could be prevented all led to chastity. Leading femdom books advocated locking sons in chastity and very quickly this entered into the mainstream of women's society.
Young boys from 12 to 16 - and later up to 18, had their ****'s locked in chastity devices. In order to prevent prostate health problems, the boys were masturbated, or in some cases milked via their prostate, once a week. Of course a side-effect of these actions was that the boys became very very compliant, and very close indeed to their mothers. They were willing to put up with the discomfort in exchange for being wanked off weekly.
Fashion houses and mainstream retail fashion outlets picked up on the trend towards the feminisation of male clothing and the masculinisation of female attire and produced suits and plain underwear and flat shoes for women and dresses, skirts, lingerie, high heels and accessories for men. It became acceptable for men to wear dresses and skirts. The transition in dress was not easy for the males, who were forced to recognise that they had switched places with the women and that females had become the dominant sex.
Women were completely dominant in medicine, the law and business and held the top positions. Men employed in those areas held the most junior positions, in support of their female bosses. Almost all nurses and secretaries were male and were required to dress in the traditional fashion for their roles. Politics and religion remained the only arenas where women were not in control, but it was only a matter of time before the fossilised politicians retired or died, and allowed a woman to replace him. The Church was irrelevant, for now, as securing temporal power was the key objective.
As the movement(chastity) grew and became more and more socially acceptable, almost overnight, underage pregnancies,
****, male **** amongst teenagers and teenage marriages disappeared.
So dramatic and quick were the effects that Legislation quickly followed the earlier voluntary chastity culminating in The Male Chastity Act of 2034 in which all single males were required to have their **** and balls locked in a chastity device. It was later said that this single far reaching Act irreversibly transformed the world forever. it was also said that the 3 women who instigated the Act dealt a blow for womankind that would never be surpassed.
Within the Act:
* 'Key holders' had to be female. In fact there was no key as such, the locking mechanism used much more sophisticated systems. Nevertheless, the person in charge had to be female, and she could authorise removal of the device either personally or by giving the code to another female.
* Any male found not in chastity faced a year locked in a Government device without reprieve. This prevented men forcing women to unlock them permanently. ‘Inspections’ could be instantly requested by any female aged 12 or older.
Urged on by the early benefits of the Chastity Act, women then demanded that their married partners were also included. The Act was amended in 2036 to include all men without exception. As a result of this amendment -which was marginally voted in, men became much more attentive and obedient, fearing long periods of complete denial. Later reports found that some men were locked permanently for years at a time.
Under the amended Act, females could demand instant inspections without question, and most took advantage of this. In fact a 12 year old daughter could ask her father to prove that he was locked in a chastity device and he would have to comply by dropping his pants and showing himself. Refusal meant long periods of denial, 3 months was deemed to be a minimum.
In order to make the wearing of the Chastity device comfortable for men, they began to shave their genitals. In a complete reversal of previous trends, women began to grow their pubic hair and the Japanese in particular led a fashion change for straight pubic hairs sparking off a major sales drive for hair straightening products led by AfroCaribean companies.
Around the same time it was discovered that the wearing of tights and panties amongst women were causing many health problems, and a trend towards wearing nothing under a very loose skirt or dress quickly took hold. Women no longer feared men taking advantage of their nakedness and further trends led to much shorter and more see through clothes.
By this point, women had completely abandoned any tendency towards femininity, and males were being encouraged and conditioned towards adopting femininity. Younger males could adapt to the new reality, but older men, brought up to be masculine, could not contenance such a proposal. Those men who could not adapt to the new reality found themselves left behind, unemployable (since they would not adopt the feminine dress jobs employers now demanded of their male employees) and divorced by their wives, for non-compliance to her wish that he accept his new role as the more feminine partner in their relationship.
By now, it was the male who was becoming a sex object in the eyes of the dominant female, and pornography, media advertising and the sex industry, which had formerly catered for the tastes of men by exploiting women, went into complete reverse by catering for the needs of women by exploiting men.
On every street, it was now normal to see women striding about in suits, with short hair, hairy bodies and no cosmetics whatsoever. Men could be seen mincing about in high heeled shoes, in a skirt or dress, hosiery or bare depilated legs, carrying a handbag and wearing jewellery and make up. If children were seen, it was invariably the male who was looking after them. Young girls wore jeans, trainers and T-shirts and walked around as if they ruled the world (which, in a sense, they did) whilst their brothers wore crop tops which exposed their midriff and mini-skirts which showed off their legs and exposed a delicate hint of their lacy underwear. Boys wore their hair long and had their ears pierced from an early age. Boys tended to be docile and followed the lead of their sisters.
Boys and girls by this time found it to be completely normal for girls to be trousered and totally confident and assertive, whilst boys wore the skirts and were gentle and submissive little flowers. Girls, as a result of their masculine upbringing and as a result of athletic programmes at school in favour of raising the fitness and physical strength of girls, programmes which were not available to the boys, became physically stronger than most boys and could easily put a boy in his place either verbally, or, if the boy was particularly outspoken, physically. Girls were constantly taking parts in all kinds of sports, whilst the boys were completely marginalised and reduced to either being merely spectators or waving their pom-poms and wiggling their mini-skirted bottoms as part of an all male cheerleading squad.
Gradually more nudity came into society. Since all men were locked, places such as swimming baths and on beaches became nudist areas. This of course was sheer torture for the men, with naked women everywhere and yet unable to even have a tiny ****. The women in contrast could see every shaven **** locked.
By the 2030's, what was once unthinkable was now reality. The traditional gender roles and dress had been completely reversed.
