A very, very, very long time ago, back when dwarves were still wary of pigs, due to the theory that they were demonic. And well, back when every man hated every woman. Women couldn't fight in battles or wars, if they even suggested it they'd be in mighty trouble. Men on the other hand? If they offered to join in on a dance they'd be cheered on and celebrated. In this world, men, well, ruled it. Women were seen as fine maids and baby carriers. A protest from a woman would be considered extremely disrespectful. But, a single squeak of displeasure from a man? The whole table goes wild with protests agreeing with him! Women over the years developed to live with it, some enjoying the cooking and cleaning. Others? Framed as men. Assigned to wars. Most were caught, and killed on the spot. In fact, there hasn't ever been a case where one isn't caught. If there was, it's most likely it'd go down in history.
If you thought criticism about beards was bad in future, well boy was it bad now! And yet, only for women. If a woman didn't have a short, clean beard, they'd be considered a freak. Then, long, frizzly beards were for the men of the world. And only for them. If a man has a long beard, they'd be praised for days and more! But if a woman did? They'd be shunned for nearly their whole lifeline!
But, they lived with it. Got used to it. And enjoyed it. But.. what about the few women who didn't?
Well, I might as well tell you...
