During the late 2020s, there was a tremendous social upheaval in the United States. Women become much more involved in running things. In 2028, the country elected its' first female President. And in 2032, women held the majority of seats in both houses of Congress. This was just a prelude to the sweeping changes that were to come. The following is a synopsis of these changes.
In 2033, a law was passed expelling all males from government jobs. Males would henceforward be limited to certain jobs -- secretary, nurse, dental assistant, home healthcare worker, teacher, bookkeeper, office clerk, receptionist, librarian, maid, childcare worker, hairstylist, cosmetologist, dressmaker, cocktail server, wait staff, retail sales person, and flight attendant. At the last minute, strippers, exotic dancers and prostitutes were added to the list. Being a stay-at-home house husband was encouraged and every female who had a stay-at-home husband was given a $2,000 tax credit.
Later in the same year, a constitutional amendment was unanimously passed to forbid any male from voting. Females, in addition to their own vote, could cast a vote for their husband. This relieved the stress on males of having to worry about voting and things they could not possibly understand. Most males were grateful for the relief.
The changes continued in 2034. Males were forbidden to wear pants. It was mandatory for them to wear either a dress or a skirt and blouse and panties. Up to the age of eighteen, knee socks or frilly pink ankle socks had to be worn with Mary Jane shoes. From eighteen, stockings supported by a garter belt and garters had to be worn. Stockings could be black, white, red or pink. The garter belt had to match the color of the stockings and had to be made out of satin lace. High heels of at least three inches were mandatory. Petticoats were considered manly and encouraged. This was a boon for the economy, as sales of these items skyrocketed. Males frequented department stores and actually squabbled over the latest fashions.
Males were forbidden to read anything but fashion magazines or housekeeping magazines.
In 2036, a law was passed that every male over eighteen had to undergo permanent hair removal form below the eyes down. And they were prohibited from wearing their hair shorter than shoulder length. Makeup and bright red lipstick were required every day before a male left his female's house. Nails and toenails had to be polished every day. Ribbons and bows in the hair were recommended.
A law requiring pierced ears and earrings for all males was enacted. Other piercings would be done at the discretion of the wife or girlfriend. Nipple rings, nose rings and tongue studs became a popular fashion for males. They had no right to refuse if that's what the female in their life wanted.
Another law was passed in 2038 forbidding any male from suing for divorce. Women retained this right and didn't have to go to court; it was automatically granted. The laws governing marriage were amended so that females were granted the right to have as many husbands as they wanted. It was not uncommon for women to have three husbands and one wealthy woman actually had twenty-eight. Husbands had a duty to do whatever their wife decided. In general, women were given all the decision-making power and males were obligated to do as they were told. Females were allowed to lend their males to other females for whatever action was requested.
