The girls were witches, who spoke of strange things, omens, portents, and visions. Sometime in the mid 1800's the boys of our family no longer had tailbones. It wasn't uncommon for a boy to run a fever soon after puberty that made him. Besides, if a boy was too smart, tea and spiced cabbage stew could handle that. But the family believed that boys take after the father and girls take after the mother, and were bred as such. Intelligence wasn't mandatory, but girls are bred for intellect, so of course smarter boys are a side effect. Strength, size, ability to heal, resistance to disease, endurance, canniness, night vision, reflexes, everything that made the boys better to survive on the battlefield. Judges, Sheriffs, Mayors, they are all merely puppets for the will of his girl and, of course, the family matrons.īoys were bred. While the husband might appear powerful, in reality he is merely a puppet that speaks the word of the girls in his own voice. The family matrons used the power gained by the steel of the boys to broker into political power, wealth, and influence. From Pax Britannica to the Colonization of the Americas to the Civil War to the War on Terror. We had fought in every major war throughout history.

Girls can brew tea or spice a stew to enflame a boy to ensnare a boy or to bend them to a girl's will.Ī girl's word was worth more than all the boys of her generation put together.

If their military service destroyed their bodies and minds the Matrons knew how to get the most out of that boy for the remainder of his life.Īfter all, he was just a boy. Destroying a boys psyche was part of it, as it made them excellent soldiers and more pliant to the wishes of the Matrons. There are ways to break boys to your will, and my family Matrons knew them all. The boys owned nothing, even if the deeds or property affidavits said they did, because the boys were wholly, completely owned by the women of the family. Not that it mattered, because boys went to war, boys fought, and boys died. Unruly young boys were dosed with hemlock tea, beaten ruthlessly, and suffered deprivation. In some family branches the boys weren't allowed to read until the 1950's or 1960's. Until World War II, boys were not ever taught to read. When it came to food it went: Pregnant women, children, women, injured, and boys eat last. Before it all fell apart in the late-1990's boys were second class at best. It's important to understand something about my family.
The Matrons ensured that their power remained unbroken down through the generations. America is big, there's plenty of room for our family to grow and expand. They decided when the family had gotten big enough to break a branch of the family off and send it forth to another place. These women say who may marry who, who will do what kind of work when they finish their military service, and other important things. It's ruled by the matriarchs of the clan.
