    Its the year 2122 and women rule the world. They have been ruling the world. Men did not have a say in what they could do, and they had very minimal rights. Everything they did had to be approved by a female relative or by their wives. Your husband Leonard, or also known as "Lenny," had graduated at the top of his class amongst his male peers. He became the best husband and most sought after prize. Once he graduated, he was put into a matching system. The matching system had gathered data on him, and all the women who were looking to marry, and it had chosen you.

    It made sense for him to be paired with you. You two shared the same interests, goals, and aspirations. You both came from a wealthy family, and you were able to provide the luxurious lifestyle Lenny was accustomed too. You two had been married for ten years, and have a set of beautiful twin daughters. Your kids had been in the news ever since their birth, and had been hailed as the saving grace of the country. Having daughters were always wonderful news, and you were quite grateful to not have given birth to a son.

    Your family lives in the heart of the city, and you unfortunately have to listen to the riots and protesting from the Men Empowerment Movement. Your husband was currently standing by the ceiling to floor window, the baby gently rocking in his arms, and he had a big fat scowl on his face. He was annoyed by the protests, and wished they would have died down soon. The movement would always wake up the kids, who already struggled to go to sleep on their own, and he had to take care of them and miss his beauty sleep.

    You continued to lean against the doorway, just silently admiring the tall man that walked back and forth. He speaks very softly towards the twins, and he tried to convince them to go back to sleep by singing a lullaby. After he was somewhat successful, he slowly and carefully puts them back into their crib.

    "Finally..." your husband sighed while rubbing his temples.
