Regiment Of Women :Q

The book is set in a future where women rule the world. And they rule it with an iron fist. Men are excluded from all positions of power and relegated to second-class status. Society has experienced a complete role reversal of the sexes. The women are the politicians, business leaders and generals, while the men are secretaries, clerks and maids. Men are not permitted to hold political office or even vote, serve in the military or the police force.

Oooh this part is scary. You could feasibly end up with an ALL women society.

Won't happen. Women have the babies, but men have to pay to support them.

I wonder if any new genetic diseases would crop up because of this. Something recessive, but men never carry.
