Chapter 1

 

 

Female liberation is dead and buried. The era lasted only fifty years if you count the lead up but its end came swiftly. The final straw, so far as Man was concerned was when Woman tried to assert total dominance over him. It nearly worked, too. One more step and males would have been disenfranchised, their openings in the world severely limited and then reduced as virtual slaves to womankind.

It didn't take much. Certain leaders amongst the males met secretly and planned things carefully. The word spread - again with the utmost secrecy - and suddenly the tables were turned. Males, very scared now that they had come so close to disaster, assumed control once more.

Retribution was swift - and harsh. Women's rights were totally removed. Once more females became virtually the property of their fathers, and later their husbands, both of whom were not only permitted to exercise disciplinary control over them - it was demanded. Women once more became the responsibility of the men who controlled them. No more were women going to be permitted to assume anything like an equal place in society.

Ornaments, workers, mothers... yes, under certain conditions... But as to having a say, certainly not!

Oh they tried to resist, of course. Arguments raged over the media as to ‘equal rights' but these were countered by men who claimed, not without some truth, that woman had tried to assume a vastly more than equal share of authority. When the new laws had been enacted restricting women's entry to the professions and to certain classes of employment and requiring that they first and foremost attend to their duties at home, many had rebelled. It was then that the penal clauses had been strengthened, men recognising that a few sharp lessons were needed to establish, once and for all, that women were now once more subservient to men and that was the way it was going to be from now on.

Angela Martin stood in the dock in the Women's Court. It was merely a square platform, some four feet each side and raised three feet above the floor of the court. Steps led up to it from the back. At the centre of the back edge was a metre high steel post. Her wrists were manacled behind her back to cuffs welded to the top of this post as they had been for the whole trial. She was naked now and had been from the moment the all-male jury pronounced her guilty. Mr Justice Rowbottom had said the fateful words: “Strip the prisoner naked for sentence...”

The bailiff had nodded, stepped up onto the platform and then proceeded to tear the clothes from her slender young body. He had first ripped open her silk blouse and torn it from her upper body, leaving her breasts covered only with her bra. Then he had undone her wrap-around skirt and flicked it off. Beneath it she had on panties and stockings. He squatted down and took off her shoes then pulled the stockings down and off her feet.

The audience, all male of course, since it was considered women should be home and working at their domestic duties, watched with bated breath. None objected. It was well past time these women, who had become most supercilious as they had achieved more and more power in the land, were brought back down to a proper level and, as the government had explained, shame and humiliation were potent weapons to achieve this aim.

The bailiff grinned at the men staring up at the near-nude prisoner and moved to her side. He didn't bother undoing her bra but took out his pen-knife and simply cut the band. It fell to the floor, exposing her creamy-smooth breasts to all and sundry.

Angela stood there in utter misery. She had never been a wanton girl and had never exposed herself to men except in the privacy of her bedroom. Her face blushed a deep red and she moaned softly as the bailiff so brutally stripped her of her clothes.

But he wasn't finished yet. He moved to her side again and inserted the blade of his knife into the waistband of her panties, sharp side out. It took one slash and the elastic parted. The silk material wafted down, exposing her neatly trimmed sex, to hang by the elastic bands on her legs. A couple more quick slashes and the now useless garment floated down to join the other pile of rags on the floor at her feet.

She was now stark naked and every pair of eyes in the court was upon her flesh, drinking in the slender but beautifully shaped body; the velvet-smooth, creamy skin and the firm muscles. Her breasts were not huge but they were full enough and perfectly formed with small pink nipples in the centre of the slightly larger areoles surrounding them.

Her thighs were shapely and muscular as were her arms. Her whole body reflected her love of athletics.

Judge Rowbottom left her in her shame for a few minutes. Hell, he was as enamoured of her body as everyone else in his court. But then he cleared his throat and looked down on her sternly. “Angela Martin, you have very properly been found guilty of the heinous crime of Incitement to Rebellion. Your plea that you were only joking was treated by the jury with the contempt it deserved... Your further argument that you are young and that your youth is somehow an excuse, is also rejected out of hand. Even a nineteen year old is expected to know the law...”

He paused a moment as Angela looked up at him in bewilderment. She had only said to Jean, her co-worker at the library, that it was a pity they could go no further, now being at the top of the promotional tree permitted for women. Surely that wasn't a crime. Alas, it was.

“You females need to be taught a severe lesson. We will not permit a return to the lawless days when you thought you could do anything you liked under the guise of ‘equal opportunity' and ‘sexual harassment'. Well, thankfully, those days are now gone and you females are back where you belong, under our control.” He paused again, his eyes raking up and down her nude form. “Angela Rowbottom, it is the sentence of this court that you serve as a municipal labourer for the period of one year.”

He banged his gavel and rose, bowed to the court and left the room.

All eyes were on the prisoner though. She had started to cry, her body shaking in anticipation of the terrible year to come. Her parents and sister looked up at her in anguish. Oh why had she been so silly as to joke about such a thing? They went up and held her hand while the bailiff undid her manacles and the court usher gathered up what remained of her clothing to go in the rag-bag. She would not be needing it where she was going, even if it had been fit to wear.

She was conveyed to the municipal labourers' pens, there to be processed. They didn't give her anything to cover her nakedness. She was taken out, under guard, to the yard at the back of the courthouse and pushed up into the paddy-wagon. This had no seats. Indeed, it was merely a metal box bolted onto the frame of a utility truck. The box was made of steel mesh and you could see inside quite easily. There were three others under sentence of municipal slavery for varying periods and the four of them huddled on the bare metal floor, horribly ashamed at their nudity and that when the vehicle pulled out into the road, everyone would be able to see inside and to jeer at them.

The principle that prisoners had dignity and should not be on public show had gone along with the women's liberation movement. Females were now little more than chattels and when they erred, they needed a sharp lesson. Public humiliation was a most effective part of that lesson.

The door clanged shut, the driver got in and off they went. It was as bad as Angela had thought it was going to be. People had heard of the court's decision and men had gathered to watch as the vehicle came out, all staring in at the naked girls crouching in the wagon. The driver went slowly to add to their misery and they were able to hear snippets of comments, especially as they were stopped at lights.

“Serve the sluts right. Hope they put them on park duty. I'd like to see the blonde's buttocks whipped to harder and harder effort...”

“Should be shorn of her hair; make her into a real slave...”

“Should have sent her to the public brothel. That'd really teach her what her role in life is...”

These and other like comments had the girls crying in no time. But there was no let-up. All the way to the pens, similar comments or parts of them were offered.

The pens were on the outskirts of the city, a part of the municipal depot. The girls were kept in cages near the front of the depot and a public viewing gallery had been constructed outside the barred front of the cages, rather like at those old-fashioned zoos where you stared in at the caged animals. For a fee, you could come and walk up and down the gallery, peering in at the hapless females incarcerated therein. All part of the punishment... Of course, during the day, they were working but from six until nine, every night of the week, you could come and stare in at the hundreds of women and girls doing it hard.

The cages were each two metres high and three square. The floors and back walls were concrete, the roof corrugated iron and the other walls: the front and sides, made of iron bars. At the front, just inside the bars was a trough through which flowed clean water. This was for drinking. At the end of the row of cages, the drinking water ran down the side of the cage to its rear and thence into another trough that sloped in the opposite direction to the one at the front and ran along the back of the cages and thence into the sewer. Water was turned on to run in these troughs for five minutes every hour during the times the women were in residence. They had to squat over this to relieve themselves - all in view of the watching public.

Before Angela and her companions were delivered to the cages however, they had to be processed. There were, of course, the entries to be made in the register but then they were taken to be depilated. It had been decided that to shave them clean of body hair and thus expose their sex totally would be an added shame. And shame was a very big part of their punishment. As well as the hard labour, that is. Each of them was in turn made to stand up before the barber and have her pubic hair whisked off. Then the depilatory ointment was smeared all over the newly shaved parts as well as her legs and under-arms. This was both painful and effective. After a few applications they would be naked all over for the rest of their lives...

The last part of their initiation into the world of municipal slavery was their ‘welcome'. Welcome it was called but it was as far from a welcome as Angela could imagine. They were taken out to the public viewing area and up onto a small dais. There was a metre-high wooden post standing in the centre of this. On its top was a set of stocks and Angela was ordered to place her wrists in the holes while the top was then lowered and bolted shut. Her ankles were pulled wide apart and locked into manacles set into the floor of the dais a few feet back from the stocks. She was now bent over at the hips and her legs pulled well over a metre apart.

One of the guards now came up, holding a supple cane in his hand.

“Ten strokes is the minimum for each new slave,” he announced sonorously. “But if they scream or wiggle their buttocks too much, then we double it ...” Angela started to cry. “That will get you nowhere, slave. Keep it up and I will immediately double the welcome.” She quickly subsided.

He raised the cane while the watching public - and the other new girls, looked on, the former in gleeful anticipation of the screams and gyrations of the girl's body; the other girls in anguish that, very soon, they too would be facing the same treatment.

The guard raised the cane high and then down it came. ‘Thwap!” “Oooowwwweeeagggghhhh,” she screamed and started sobbing again.

“Looks like twenty for this slut ...” said the guard, grinning in glee and again raising the cane.

“Thwap,” it came again, but this time she remained silent, relatively, anyway. Her naked bottom was now striped with a pair of tramlines and the male audience breathed in deeply. This girl was quite exquisite. Each one of them wished first, that it was he down there administering this initial punishment; and second that he might have her at home as his personal servant so he could discipline her any time he felt it necessary - which would be very often, of course.

The other girls were not bad either. They stood up, all stark naked, all totally nude of hair on their bodies so their sex was fully exposed to the paying customers, hands on the backs of their heads as they had been ordered, waiting their turn. Their breasts were well-formed and firm and their bodies, if not quite as athletic as Angela's, were nevertheless most attractive.

More strokes followed and Angela managed, somehow, to maintain her cool and not cry out, wiggle her bottom or start sobbing again. It was hard. The cane hurt horribly. She could hardly repress the urge to wiggle herself to try to ease the fiery pain at each stroke and not to cry out was almost impossible. She managed it though for she was a strong girl and in former times would have gone far in the world. As it was, the position of library assistant was all that was on offer.

“Ten,” intoned the guard. He had not pulled the strokes, delivering them as hard as his powerful muscles would allow. This ‘welcome' was a most necessary part of their punishment. It made them realise straight away that they were now virtual slaves for the duration of their sentence and they had better shape up, or face a similar punishment every time they erred.

Angela's buttocks were now very severely marked. The early strokes had formed into bruises and when a new one was laid over them, the pain was much worse. The guard knew his onions. He really knew how to make a girl scream but this one, after that first stroke, anyway, was showing unusual fortitude. They would need to watch this girl; she might give them some interesting times ahead, he thought. Well, she might be strong, but so was he. For the final ten strokes he laid on even harder, trying now to break her before the twenty strokes were completed.
