‘Dreams are doorways, if we but have the courage to step over the threshold’ – Clive Barker, Everville.
What with the worldwide struggle to get women their rights and all the feminist movements going on, it is safe to assume that in the next decade or so, the world will be free from the coercions of the ‘dominant sex’.
If all does go according to our plans, then we’ll observe some drastic changes in the social structure soon  . For starters, there will be a switching of roles in life partners. Men will be the traditional, overworked and stressed (not to forget, bearded and mustached) wives and women, their loud thunderous and aggressive (long-haired and slim) husbands. The ancient duty of child rearing will be, of course, transferred and children, no doubt, will have fun time seeing their muscular ‘Mama’ cower before the tiny ‘Dad’.
The workplace environment will be totally altered and (if women put on an all-male attitude) there will be contests for the most male-friendly and ‘Adam-teasing’ safe environment.
The media coverage will flip 180 degrees and we shall have men in all advertisements, dancing, prancing, singing and calling kids to come and drink their one and only trustworthy Nestlé milk to make them strong.
In marital matters, it will become necessary for men to secure their rights properly or they will suffer the consequences. And the legal sector of Domestic Abuse will consist of men (beaten black and blue) struggling to get adequate alimony after separation (in which they would fail miserably)  .
And the night time rituals will alter; old men will gather in the lounge and talk of old times when men used to rule over women. They will speak in quiet ‘ladylike’ whispers, of days long gone when everything was in right order and will advise the younger, rebellious men, raising a cautionary hands and going in a quavering voice:
‘Don’t repeat the mistake of your ancestors… we were stupid not to realize the threats of oppression. We are suffering the consequences of our mistake (yes, we admit)… but you must take heed. NEVER MISTREAT A WOMAN!’
And after such changes, the world politics will take a turn for the best. There will no longer be the testosterone-driven desire to rule over the world; instead, estrogen-enhanced maternal feeling will take its place and all the suffering classes (read men) will benefit greatly. The gross materialism will vanish and greater environmental causes will be promoted. In short, our Earth will be renovated and the world will be a happier place to live in.
