Once upon a time, in a world far different from our own, there was an ideal family. The father was a meek and submissive man, always obedient to his wife and daughters. The mother was a strong and dominant woman, ruling the household with an iron fist. Their daughters were fierce and aggressive, trained from a young age to be the leaders of their future households. And their son was a timid and weak boy, sent away to a school where he was taught to be even more submissive and obedient.
In this world, the roles of men and women were strictly defined. Men were expected to be meek and submissive, while women were expected to be strong and dominant. The system was accepted by everyone, and no one questioned it. The women were proud of their dominance and the men were proud of their obedience.
However, there was a dark side to this system. The women were quick to publicly humiliate any man who didn't obey them, and any man without a mistress was considered useless and a disgrace. The men lived in constant fear of being ridiculed and shamed. But still, no one wanted the system to change.
The ideal family, however, was different. They lived in harmony, with the father always obeying his wife and daughters, and the daughters always treating their brother with kindness and respect. They were the envy of their neighbors, who often commented on how well-behaved their son was and how easy it would be to get him a mistress.
Despite the flaws in the system, the ideal family thrived. They were happy and content, and they never questioned the roles they were assigned. They knew their place in the world, and they accepted it. And in this world, that was all that mattered.
