Regarding The Temple And Male Children

"The birth of Daughters is preferred over the birth of sons." The Third Valance

~That's a pretty straight forward statement, yet clearly there are potential complexities in its application. I will address them here as best I can.

First, a definition. When thinking of the name to be used for various residences of The Temple, ones that would be exclusive to Initiated Sisters, I looked to the term used in my Cyber Witch stories: Karaal.

It is derived from the South African term, kraal; “enclosure or group of houses surrounding an enclosure for livestock, or the social unit that inhabits these structures. The term has been more broadly used to describe the way of life associated with the kraal that is found among some African, especially South African, peoples.”

It is more from that latter part of the definition that I drew Karaal. I used to mean ”Place Where The Horse Riding Amazons Live”. And I think it suits our purposes quite well.

Not all Karaals will have horses, as it does not mean 'place where Amazons ride horses'. Some Karaals will be urban residences. [See "The Temple's Tactical Initiatives"]

What will set them apart from The Temple's shelters and general housing is that only Initiated Sisters, their Daughters, and Collared Korettes [male slaves of The Temple's Dommes who will function as servants] will live there.

This is in keeping with the need to create a fully Gynocentric atmosphere, one that fosters a serious and internally consistent paradigm of Female Supremacy. The Korettes who live within this mini-culture will be subservient adult males who have freely chosen that life.

And it is this entire dynamic that that leads me to this statement: “There will be no male children raised within The Temple's Karaals. Period.”

There are two basic reasons for the rule and the necessity of its strong enforcement.

The first is the most obvious; boys would throw off the whole psycho-social dynamic. The Sisters who first participate in this experiment will all have been raised entirely within Patriarchy. They are all going to have some prejudice toward male children, most of it toward giving favor to them. The problems there are pretty clear.

The whole idea of having “a serious and internally consistent paradigm of Female Supremacy” is meant to begin breaking that pattern in the Daughters raised in The Temple's Karaals. I believe it will take about three generations to actually accomplish this in most of our Daughters.

The Temple's whole strategy is to change from within, "to create...a Practical Reality that becomes the microcosm of this new society [a New Matriarchy]...that is vital, replicable, adaptable, and then plant it in the societies that presently exist."

So we can't have Sisters hiding out in some isolated desert compound. They have to actively operate within the existing social order. That means they have to be strong enough to resist its efforts to break them down, hence the need for “a serious and internally consistent paradigm of Female Supremacy.”

The second reason is less obvious, but equally important. To try and raise male children in “a serious and internally consistent paradigm of Female Supremacy” is, to be blunt about it, just plain abusive. If you regard Patriarchy's ingrained mechanisms that define women as 'less than' to be abusive, how could you continence doing the same to boys?

I can't. And I won't.

This is largely a temporary problem. Gender selection technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, so giving birth to only Daughters will soon be a non-issue. But until then, the above rule is required.

So what happens to an Initiated Sister living on a Karaal who becomes pregnant with a male child? That will be her choice. If she chooses to bring him to term, she will remain an Initiated Sister. She simply would not be able to raise him in her Karaal.

Our goal is to have enough resources in terms of living spaces and income that such a choice on her part could be handled with ease.

Now I know perfectly well that such a thing is unlikely to go with the smoothness implied above. No matter the choice, there would be Grieving and Loss.

But that comes with this territory. There is going to be Grieving and Loss anyway. Some Sisters are going to get killed outright during the course of this Transition for daring to challenge male dominance.

This Work is not for the faint of heart. It is the Work of Amazons. And The Prize is The Future.
