Pillories in public

Katie was still living at home along with her twin sister Sarah since they both attended a nearby high school, so she was home pretty quickly. Her mom Lynne was already waiting for her there with a cup of tea. Katie told her that apparently the town council had decided to erect a pillory in the center of town. They had decreed that henceforth all the women in the town aged 18-55 would have to stand in the pillory once a week if they had not had a child in the past 3 years!

Her mom was predictably shocked and said she thought that was very unfair. She had had four children, hadn’t she? Why should she stand in the pillory for an hour every week? She wasn’t some broodmare to be ordered to have children. If every woman was **** to go through with this they would probably all have a dozen children each! Ridiculous.

Katie sympathized with her mom, but she honestly thought she had it much worse. Her mom wouldn't get pregnant she thought, she was pretty old. Plus, her mom wasn't going to get shared online for everyone to see, and Katie and all the girls at the high school definitely would be. All those stupid horny teenage boys would obviously share nudes of the girls in their classes with each other.

Katie felt like crying. She was just a teenager, how could the town council expect her to be shown off in public like that? She wanted to go to a good university, start a life, not be stuck in some dumb medieval **** instrument! She complained to her mom and her mom tried to make her feel better, but in truth there wasn't much to be said - it was going to happen regardless of how they felt.
