The discovery of the buried and hidden cities and artifacts from the ancient sunken continent of Lemuria marked a sea change in 21st century science, history, and civilization. Expeditions into the Antarctic wastes, the undersea ruins, and the massive pockets of air hidden deep in the earth where the advanced, pre-human civilization retreated to (before vanishing entirely) have only just started--but already they have yielded bizarre and disturbing relics, objects of an advanced, inhuman technology, and copious pictograms and wall carvings and documents depicting a society with intense sexual and social domination. As the world tries to cope with, and understand these new discoveries, the cultural norms and behaviors have begun to shift rapidly towards what it appears Earth's first intelligent inhabitants (who for the most part appear very much like humans) engaged in.
This is nothing to say of the sometimes disturbing finds that the barest exploration into these newly uncovered realms have brought back.

Hamilton College And Elsewhere - Kelli
Kelli Carson bent forward and gripped Ms. Halloway's desk. Tears sparkled in her eyes and she was on the edge of panic. She had been close with her Comparative Histories professor--which she had felt surely would protect her--but when she had not once, but three times violated the "no phones out in class" rule, the teacher had ordered her to see her in her office after the class was over.
Kelli, who was 19, figured she was FAR too old for the 'see me after class' lecture--but when she was called up by a stern-faced Ms. Hallowway, she found herself blushing and tongue-tied. The instructor had asked if something was wrong? If there was some kind of emergency. She'd admitted there wasn't. She was just... texting friends.
"You can come to my office and we'll settle it there--or I will refer you to the Student Disciplinary Council, Ms. Halloway said. Kelli had squirmed: at the very least she'd be 'grounded' to her dorm and probably made to write an assignment 'reflecting' on her behavior. Worse, there was an excellent chance her parents would be notified,
The idea that Ms. Halloway would write her up--JUST for the phone-rule--seemed horrible. However, while she could deal with her dad knowing... mom hearing about this was a different animal entirely. The horrifying realization that she would literally grovel to prevent this ran through her like a shockwave.
"Your office, ma'am," she'd whispered, feeling very young all of a sudden.
"It will not be at all pleasant," Professor Halloway said evenly. "I am going to have you in tears," she warned.
Kelli sucked in a breath. What HAD she been thinking with the stupid phone--after TWO warnings? Shit. Tears!? She summoned all the resolve she had and nodded.
"Yes ma'am." She had absolutely zero intention of crying in front of this woman!
It was worse than she'd feared! In the woman's staff office, a cozy room that smelled nice, Ms. Halloway had quietly closed the door and pulled one of her desk chairs to face the wall.
"Sit there and be quiet while I look some things up, Ms. Carson," she said. "You are being punished and I expect strict obedience--and yes ma'am and no ma;am from here on in."
Ohh. Kelli flushed. "Yes ma'am." She sat in the chair, looking at the blank spot on the wall, and worrying. She heard the keyboard clack. A phone call where it sounded like Ms. Halloway was talking to her Dorm RA. She told the insufferable girl that as Kelli was done with her classes for the day, she was coming back to the dormitory in short order and should be 'put to bed directly.' What WAS this!?
Apparently having checked that Kelli didn't have any academic responsibilities for the rest of the day, Ms. Halloway was now ready to commence with the discipline.
"Up and stand here, girl," the woman said. Her voice wasn't unkind, but it uncannily matched her mother's tones when she was cross! Kelli stood in front of her, feeling like she was at sea with the floor rolling under her. "Hands behind your back, chin up, girl," Ms Halloway ordered.
"Y-yes ma'am." Kelli found herself blushing badly and blinking several times. She swallowed hard. This was already awful!
"Good girl," Ms. Halloway said, perfunctorily when Kelli assumed the position. Being called 'girl' was demeaning but it also had a sense of safety that Kelli found she liked despite herself. The realization brought even more color to her cheeks.
"We are going to have a spanking-plus," Ms. Halloway informed her. "I'm sure that's a bit dismaying for you at your age--but I intend this punishment to be VERY memorable and very effective. Going forward, I am going to hold you to an exacting standard in your work and you are going to meet it," she said.
Kelli felt like her stomach might drop out altogether. She squirmed under the older woman's gaze.
"Hold still while I'm talking to you, girl," said Ms. Halloway crisply. "No squirming." Oh! UGH!!
She blinked, blushed, and held still.
"Good. Now: take that skirt and your panties off. Your spanking--this one and more if required--are going to be bare bottom. If I need to spank you over my lap in the staff room, it'll be on your bare backside no matter who is there. Be glad we're doing this in my office. Understood?"
Oh--fuck. Kelli had, in fact, understood. But--No!
Her face feeling like it was radiating bon-fire heat, she looked pleadingly up. "Miss--please," she said haltingly. When Ms. Halloway nodded for her to go on, she had to--no matter how mortifying.
'I--I'm on my--It's my--my--"
"You're on your period," Ms. Halloway finished for her, clearly unimpressed.
Kelli flushed, nodding miserably. "Yes, miss," she whispered.
"Do you think that's an excuse for leniency?" ask Ms. Halloway, archly.
Noooo. She--she shook her head, knowing that was the right answer but--
"Correct," said Ms. Halloway. "I am not afraid of your menses and their presence has no bearing on your punishment. If you don't wish to be punished on your period, I suggest you behave better." Kelli felt her eyes widen--oh this could NOT be happening. She felt a tremor of her lower lip. Now tears weren't the fear: outright bawling was! The punishment hadn't even STARTED.
"Everything from the waist down off, but your socks," ordered Ms. Halloway. "Do it now."
Kelli, in a whirlwind haze of humiliation removed her skirt and panties and slipped her shoes off. A tampon string hung visibly from her Brazilian-waxed cleft. A scalding humiliation. She huddled before Ms. Halloway and covered her region.
