    In the course of human history mankind has made leaps and bounds since the beginning of human life. However, one must wonder what would happen if mankind was not hindered by the circumstances. I do not mean war, famine or disease, for these things strengthen mankind. The single entity that has retarded the progress of mankind is the female gender. For countless millennia females have imposed arbitrary standards on the male race using their wiles and seductive figures to keep men in place while the females whittle away at society like a most potent acid. A cure to cancer could have been developed in only a tiny fraction of the many years the inferior females have muddled in the affairs of men. Because of this, I am proposing a plan, a social system, to wipe out female influence in our civilization and maintain a world of male supremacy.

    First and foremost, female suffrage must be abolished. Giving the female race power in determining our laws has only driven America further into the ground. Woman must be marginalized in society, not even second class citizens. Slaves, the bulk of which are born to breed and serve men and the select few which shall serve as our sex slaves. The farming system shall work in such a manner. The breeding woman shall be separated into three categories; the breeders of menial laborers, the breeders of domestic servants and the breeders of sex slaves. They will be chosen on criteria of how they serve in each category. The unattractive women will filter out into the hard laborers and domestic servants. The sex slaves will, obviously, be chosen on the basis of their body and facial structure, etc. A panel of experts will decide how to manage the women at each regional breeding installation. The breeding facilities will inject women with hormones that will hasten puberty so that the woman will be able to breed much faster. I suggest using an automated device that automatically removes the unfertilized egg and placing it in cold storage until it is deemed necessary for artificial insemination. Now, in addition to paying taxes, all males will be required to donate an amount of sperm to the government so that the breeding farms will be able to produce additional workers. I would also recommend creating a National Department of Female Reproduction. This agency would oversee all of the female breeding facilities and also develop artificial hormones to speed up puberty and to increase egg production of woman.

    At the age of fifteen, females will be evaluated by the administration of the breeding farm quality control so as to decide which sector they will work in. The frailer but unattractive woman will be selected for domestic service. So as to not expose any male to their visage, they will be fitted in a suit which hides their face from view. This suit will also provide for tube feeding from a tank of nutrients that will be fastened to the back of the female. The menial laborers will sent off to the mines, factories, etc. to work. They will also have the feeding tanks attached to their backsides so as to maximize working time. It will be determined at a later date how much sleep the workers will require to function properly.

    The sex slave class will be taken by men when they reach the age of fifteen. They will be selected by men who are financially able to feed and house them. There will be no cost for obtaining a sex slave apart from the standard government female tax. Men will have the option to reserve certain subjects while the embryos are still in cold storage for a small fee. The men who choose to reserve their sex slave will also have the option of choosing race, hair color, etc. which will be adjusted during the test tube pregnancy by the geneticists working in the breeding farms.

    In addition to separating woman into the three sectors, there is the issue of education. Obviously, literacy is simply not an option. The workers will be trained in operating whatever machinery they need to. The domestic servants will also need to be trained

    As Westerners, we can face history and understand its truth. So, we would not shun it.

    The same cannot be said of, say, the Chinese. The reality of 1895 Shanghai is that, under Western domination, the city prospered. For the first time in its history, people enjoyed codified laws that police fairly enforced. The rest of China was a pig sty: warlords controlled vast stretches of land and ruled by whim.

    If we created an accurate virtual reality of 1895 Shanghai, the Chinese would be up in arms, crying "racism", "bigory", and "Western oppression". They would accuse us Westerners of distorting history.

    Now, consider a virtual reality of 1951 Tibet when the Chinese armies were ransacking Tibet and pursuing the Dalai Lama to kill him. ...
