As a comparatively new reader of 'Madame' I am a little surprised that none of your readers have expressed any views on the
possibilities of achieving total feminine domination of the country. It is only by reducing men to second class citizens that we
shall really achieve satisfaction, for example---is it reasonable for a woman's vote in an election to he cancelled by that of a
male? Or, should a woman EVER he placed in the position where she must actually take orders from a male? Quite obviously
both of these questions can only he answered with a very firm 'NO'. Women need only join together once for long enough to
take control of government and the rest follows---men are disenfranchised, money may only be inherited by a woman, all males
must he registered as the property of women, without whose consent they may not enter into legally binding agreements---the
possibilities are endless.

In my own home the ideal of complete matriarchal rule is an established fact. My husband was a widower with two children
when we married. During our honeymoon I quickly taught him that sex was a privilege to be earned, and to earn it meant total
submission and absolute obedience. Five years later he is now a model of perfection---his salary is paid directly into my
account. Each evening he carries out his allotted housework---all of which I make him do.

                                                                               Allotted tasks

The children, a girl Susan now 17, and a boy John 15, are also well controlled. Like their father, they have allotted tasks each
evening, although Susan is allowed quite a lot of free time. When John returns home from school his first task is to change into a
skirt and blouse, with stockings, belt, knickers and slip underneath. This has been invaluable in reducing him to proper
submissiveness. Normally he then goes to the local shops for me. At first I had to strap him almost every evening when I put
him into skirts, but now he accepts this rule quite readily and has passed for a girl quite frequently. At weekends he wears the
frilliest dresses and undies I can find when he accompanies Susan and me to the shops.

Needless to say, I use the cane on any member of the family who is disobedient. This is always administered in front of the
others, except for Susan who enjoys the privilege of her superior sex. The offender is sent for the cane which is kept n my room.
Having handed it to me, he lowers his knickers and bends over the back of the chair. I then raise his skirt and give him six or
more strokes. He is then allowed to rise and after thanking me for correction takes the cane back to my room. Susan is
similarly dealt with, but in her own room.

In order that the threat of the cane does not lose it's influence. I use 'preventative punishment' once a week. Each Friday
evening John brings the cane to the lounge after he has washed the dishes, and I then give him ten strokes. My husband then receives ten. They are both then sent straight to bed. Susan then takes the cane to her room. When I follow a few minutes later, she is already in position, with her knickers down and lying across the bed. Turning up her skirts I give her six strokes. When she has
finished sobbing she is allowed to return to the lounge where she may read, or talk to me.

The result of all this is a happy, secure family under proper feminine dominance. I do not allow my husband much sexual activity
as this is the 'carrot' for which he must strive. Susan is growing up into a dominant young lady, and John seems to think that if
he tries hard enough he may even achieve feminine status!

Yours sincerely,

I can't say that I agree with much of the correspondent's ideas, but this letter is of some interest. I certainly belive in a universal franchise and economic freedom, and I think it is ridiculous to assume that women would want to have men 'registered' as their property. I certainly don't believe that many men would accede to this arrangement, no matter what the elected government said.

Petticoat dominance is a private, not a public, matter, as is simply a way of obtaining a strong and enduring degree of love and respect between the members of a family. As I pointed out in an earler edition, if petticoating in the family were a lot more prevalent, then it would be of great benefit to all members of society, and divorce courts (and juvenile delinquency courts) would be empty.
