Chapter 1 (The feminilized world)
Once upon a time in a distant galaxy was a planet called XereX.
Part of the planet was completely green, the other was surrounded by a large grey wall
within which could be observed numerous cities inhabited by civilized human beings.
Elsaf, like all the other cities was structured on matriarchy. Inside Elsaf lived Zed,
a young boy of 15; as all the male children there, he had been raised by the mother,
in fact family and school were managed only by women who had occupied
even all the organizational and directive charges of Elsaf.
In previous decades there were two terrible wars that killed a good part of the population,
particularly men that were involved in the front line of conflicts; they were decimated
and the remaining men were living in a serious state of physical discomfort.
Entire family trees were destroyed, having a grandfather was impossible,
and it was rare to have a father still intact.
In that context, the women took the upper hand and decided to rebuild the country
under new rules where they would have been leading: words like "genetic superiority",
"gender regulations", "positive discrimination", "chromosome caste", were on the agenda.
The females were raised and educated to carry out high intellectual roles and become managers,
supervisors, teachers; everything was centered around them, the school failures of women
during the process of learning were under 0.5%. The men instead were mainly sent directly
to the workplace, rarely they studied and in that case they could aspire, at most,
to the role of domestic employee, executive secretary or teacher's assistant.
Therefore, the culture of Elsaf wanted males to become workers in the mining,
manufacturing, construction, etc, often soldiers in the wars between cities triggered off
by female managers vengeful and envious of the possessions of others.
The majority of deaths at work and in places of conflict was, obviously, male.
Males were a vital resource: the industry was based on their abilities and it was important
for teachers to ensure that males are not made aware of their importance...
For that reason women created the educamps.
The educamps were places where small boys were shaped to obedience towards women:
every woman, even the smallest, could not be contradicted.
Once a man dared to say "no"
to a girl of 3; she wanted a ring that the man was wearing.
The man was immediately removed in the nearest Tirac.
Tiracs were called ghost neighborhoods
because people marginalized by society lived there; 95% were men and there was also
some women who had rebelled against the system. In Tiracs was given the bare minimum
to survive. It wasn't possible to leave a Tirac if not through the terrible procedure
of "re-education", which was rarely successful.
The rate of suicide in Tirac was 70% per annum.
The death penalty had been abolished, except for crimes of sexual violence
that were being tried for "direttissima" (without going through the normal procedures)
by special courts under the principle of presumption of guilt and mercy by women.
In educamps men were convinced of their moral weakness, mental inferiority,
and especially their hormone-physical danger,
since it was taught that even the little man,
if not controlled, packed and chemically treated, became a violent and monstrous executioner.
For the safety of the citizens it had to take fingerprints for baby boys
and there were many rules of social control such as the prohibition of leaving
an adult male alone in the company of a baby or small child.
Also, for security reasons, it was forbidden to leave the walls because of the dangerous
population of savages that, in contact with the wilderness and unspoiled nature,
had lost control of the male population and the degeneration of violence
had led to cannibalism and slavery.
