Uman Womyn

Background info -

Takes place in a parallel universe where Womyn (Women) are the most common gender, they outnumber Mals (Males) 5 to 1 and hold all the positions of power.

Serfs - Womyn serfs are basically unpaid labor, but with more rights that what we’d think of as slaves. Mal Serfs are mostly used for sex by Free Womyn and Nobles.

Free Womyn - Regular citizens.

Nobles - The ruling elite.

Planet name - Gaia

Uman - the species that lives on planet Gaia

Bondage - marriage essentially, a Mal is bonded to several womyn (usually sisters or cousins) who share him.

Male virginity - think of it like a hymen on the top of the penis, the prepuce is tight around the penis until it is pushed back and broken by the vagina.

NB: this is a case of an unreliable narrator.

Womyn run the world and mals are to stay at home, take care of the children and satisfy their womyn. Because of the gender ratio imbalance it's common for mals to be bonded to several womyn at a time.

On Gaia people worship the dual aspect Goddess known simply as “Goddess”. She represents womyn's gentle and caring nature in one of her aspects and their violent lusts in the other.

You are Andrew, a male Uman serf in The Shining City of The Goddess of Light. You love the Radiant religion and follow the gentle ways of The Goddess. You always wear a blue uniform, a symbol of your devotion to The Goddess.

Today You are going to the Temple to light a candle for Your mother. While the Goddess shall always know your sins, you hope she will be merciful and forgive you.

The schools always teach that Mals are sinful creatures.They teach that you should submit to the will of womyn and serve them. They also teach that mals are the reason womyn sin.

The book of the Goddess is clear on that subject. Mals tempt Womyn into sin with their bodies.Because of this, Mals must always remain chaste and dress modestly. They must hide their skin, their flat chests and most of all their genital bulges from Womyn.

You put on your modest gray pants and pull your blue shirt on. You carefully tuck it into the pants. You pull on a pair of boots and then put on a Blue jacket.

You wish to light a candle and pray to the Goddess before work begins. You're a Serf, unbonded and under the tutelage of a noble family.

Your patrons are the Schwarzchilde family. They are rich landowners with many properties in the city and the surrounding countryside.

The family is large with many Womyn and several Mals.

You've been friends with Thomas, one of the family's Mals for many years, since you were kids together. The family treats you kindly and does not give you too much work. You have food, clothes and free time. You're one of the luckiest serfs in this regard.

You've also never been sexually abused by any of the Womyn in the family. They are strict believers in the Goddess and the sanctity of chastity. Still, you have heard many stories of other serfs and their lives.

One of your jobs is to take food up to the apartments. But it's still early in the day and you hurry across town to the cathedral of light. It's your mother's birthday today and your gift to her, a pious woman, will be to light a candle and pray for her.

The cathedral is bustling. The line to see the priestess is out the door and inside dozens of people are lighting candles and praying. You move to the back of the line and wait patiently for your turn to come. As usual there are many Womyn and few Mals in line. It's not uncommon for Womyn to outnumber Mals several times over.

The reason is simple. Mals are all cursed by The Goddess.

While Womyn get to carry children inside of them and run the world, Mals carry only shame. Where Womyn have a chaste Vagina and breasts, the normal, natural shape of a Uman, mals have only a flat chest that is shamefully tempting to Womyn and must therefore remain hidden, and worst, they carry between their legs the true shame of their gender.

A Mals genital's are obscene and shameful. Everyone knows this. It is the reason for war and conflict. It is the bulge in mens pants that causes womyn to fall from grace and give into sexual sin with them.

Not only are Mals hated by the Goddess for their original sin, the sin of erection, but they are cursed to suffer them for all time. No amount of prayer can cure a Mal of this curse. They are doomed to suffer erections during their most intimate moments with their chosen mate.

Openly displaying their lust and fornication, Mals must be held firmly in hand by Womyn lest they fall to immorality. The line moves quickly and soon you find yourself in front of the priestess. She smiles at you and you feel nervous. You hand her a coin Eliot gave to you and she hands you a bundle of prayer candles.

She blesses you with the traditional formula "May Goddess watch over you and keep you from sin."

You move towards the end of the Cathedral and light the candles then pray on your knees.

It is in this position, that you notice a very pretty red haired womyn watching you. You've never seen her before and she seems oddly out of place wearing revealing clothes while everyone else is dressed conservatively.
