In the world of Xanthe, men are taught from a young age that their primary role in society is to serve women. They are trained to be subservient and feel inferior to their female counterparts. Women, on the other hand, are taught to be aggressive, dominant, and cruel. This system has been in place for centuries and is widely accepted by all.
Despite the fact that women are permitted to be abusive towards men, and that the only way for a male to get a job is with the permission of his mistress, the men of Xanthe are content with their lot in life. They take pride in serving their mistresses and derive satisfaction from being useful to them.
The women of Xanthe, for their part, enjoy using their male subordinates. They relish the power they hold over them and take pleasure in their obedience. It is seen as a mark of strength for a woman to have a male sub, and weak females are looked down upon.
The society of Xanthe is structured around this dynamic. Women hold all of the positions of power, both in government and in business. Men are relegated to menial tasks and are not allowed to hold any positions of authority.
Despite the apparent inequality of the system, it works well for the people of Xanthe. The men are happy to serve, and the women are happy to be served. There is a sense of harmony and balance in the society that is difficult to achieve in other systems.
To outsiders, the world of Xanthe may seem strange and oppressive. But to those who live there, it is simply the way things are. And they wouldn't have it any other way.
