Is this why most men are so bad tempered, running around in clothes that make you feel heavy as a corpse?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is ceremonial dress, men don\u2019t do much running around in it. You probably won\u2019t either. All the rights and priviledges but not much ability to exercise them. An oversight maybe?\u201d ShaQuot allowed a slow audible outbreath. \u201cThis way there won\u2019t be much memory that has to be removed anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs that why you refrain from taking the pledge?\u201dBanduat turned towards her, searching her expression for clues to explain the resignation in her voice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s done today won\u2019t be undone tomorrow. You will not remember but others will not forget. Too much will be held for accounting and whose accounting will you believe?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut what if I slip away and disappear from the city into mud swamp? There must be a way with so many women to shock. How can they keep track of all of us anyway?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The shock is chemical. It was in the tattoo they imprinted on your forehead yesterday. After 36 hours the chemical that permeated your skin and entered your brain causes an insulin shock. It is already chemically reacting with your blood. There is no escape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere must be an antidote, there must be some compound that can neutralize this chemistry. Bandaut, your knowledge of herbs is legendary. Tell me where I can find it. Even if it is in the most dangerous swamp or hostile desert I will bring it back and free us from this perpetual oppression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gendering Chapter 1 &nbsp; \u201cOur world is dominated by alpha males and their heirarchical systems.
