The Price of Conformity
Georgie paused with his hand on the door handle. He knew the beauty salon would be full of men happier than himself, gossiping, giggling and critiquing the latest styles in the men’s fashion magazines. He took a deep breath and entered. Inside men were having their hair or nails done while in the waiting area wives and girlfriends tapped their feet, frowned and looked at their watches. The stylists who recognized him gave Georgie a smile and wiggled their fingers. Georgie brushed his skirt and signed in with Carlo, the pretty receptionist who put down his nail file long enough to sign Georgie in. “Seeing Alan again today, sweetie?” “Please.” As usual there was a wait so Georgie sat, crossed his legs, dangled a pump and began thumbing through a magazine’s Handbags and Shoes special edition. The tedium of anorexic teenage boys mode

I know I have been very quiet lately, but only because I have other things that demand my time. I will make more new art when I can.

What if women were the dominant sex? This artwork is a fem-dom, gender role reversal sort of thing. The name Eve's Rib is taken from scripture: "2:7 And the MISTRESS God formed woman of the dust of the ground, and breathed into her nostrils the breath of life; and woman became a living soul. ... "2:22 And the rib, which the MISTRESS God had taken from woman, made She a man, and brought him unto the woman. "2:23 And Eve said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: he shall be called Man, because he was taken out of Woman, but is less than her." But hey, don't take it too seriously please! |
What's interesting is that in this world, male fashion looks "feminine" to us, but it is definitely designed to emphasize the male genitals.
At first I see it, and I'm like, "I sure wish I were on top like these women. The dominant, non-submissive one. But then I see them using their status to be horrible to the men, and then I think that I definitely don't want that either. Also, if I did anything "masculine" like makeup or dresses, I would be called gay, and I would be told to "woman up" every time I cried.
Anyhow, it's very provocative and makes me think. (Plus, seeing submissive guys is kind of hot. . . >.> )
As an amateur futurist I can see things like;
- Padded Underpants for men in the same way padded bras enhance cleavage for women today
- Eventually women will be so important and IFV/Obstetrics will improve so much that once an embryo is conceived it will be transferred to the man, allowing the woman to remain at work. Not sure how the man would give birth but may be cesarean section from an artificial womb.
