In 2010, we lived in a society in which gender dictated social status. While men and women were legally considered equal, women were only as empowered as men allowed. The development of genetic engineering only further engrained this notion of male supremacy in general society. Given the opportunity to select the gender of their children, couples rushed to bear boys into a world that would value their talents to their fullest potential.
As the years went on the males dominated the world. The female gender became smaller and smaller. With more time the females became more like a rare stone or a valuable piece of jewelry. Their absence was noticed and apparent in the world around them as the men fought to win the rare jewel. The women became revered. Females came to dominate the males’ affections. Eventually the females began negotiating on a higher level of thinking. In order to dominate, females took over male roles. This began the engineering of female babies. The lack of females created the role of the male mother. Women used their increased social status to allocate the less desirable tasks to men, turning things like house cleaning and grocery shopping into a more common male roles.
