Synopsis:

The atomic incident of 2026 was the catalyst of a worldwide movement historically called #MeNow. Over the intervening years, the #MeNow philosophy became more proactive and morphed into #WeNow then #FeNow then finally #WOW which was an acronym for World Order by Women This was the beginning of the new age. There were many women on the brink of taking power in their respective countries. The threat of a nuclear conflict opened the floodgates for females of the species to take control of almost all governments. That was the start. Different countries had different rules for the male of the species. Some were more open – allowing the males more freedom to assume roles of authority. Others were more controlling and restricted male roles in society to a strictly working class. The ‘Land of the Free’ became the most male restrictive society of all.
