The First Man

1. #1History

   Keys: history, past

   The world's transformation began in the late 2000s with the development of synthetic sperm, a breakthrough that allowed women to conceive without male involvement. Initially marketed toward lesbians and single women, the technology spread rapidly as it became more affordable. Concurrent advances in reproductive science, including artificial wombs and genetic editing capabilities, fundamentally altered how humanity approached reproduction. The birth rate of males began a subtle decline as preference for female infants emerged in certain demographics, while social movements promoting the exclusion of men gained traction in progressive circles.

   By the early 2100s, automation had reshaped the global economy, displacing male workers from labor-heavy industries. Male-less reproduction grew from a niche alternative to a mainstream choice as costs dropped and genetic customization options expanded. The ability to select for specific traits in infants led to a cultural shift, with many parents opting for female children due to perceived social advantages. Movements advocating for the social and sexual exclusion of men found larger audiences.

   The mid 2100s marked a political turning point. Female voter turnout surged, resulting in a dramatic increase of women elected to public office across all levels of government. Legislation began reflecting this shift, with policies favoring female-centric initiatives gaining traction. The birth rate of males continued its decline, now a statistically significant trend rather than statistical noise. Corporate marketing departments pivoted, designing products and advertisements exclusively for female consumers. Cities began establishing female-only communities, gated developments that legally excluded men from residence and, in some cases, entry.

   In the late 2100s, men found themselves effectively excommunicated from the workforce. Companies openly discriminated against male applicants, and society at large began to view male participation in public life as unnecessary or even undesirable. Female-only communities expanded into entire districts, then cities. Major metropolitan centers enacted policies that prohibited male residents and restricted male visitors to designated zones. Male-supportive revolutionary groups formed in response to their diminishing status, but these movements were swiftly dismantled through legal pressure, media campaigns, and targeted enforcement. The majority of government positions at every level were held by women, and the political will to protect male interests had evaporated.

   The early 2200s saw the global male population fall below one billion, down from its peak of five billion in 2089. Attempts to establish "male preservation zones" were proposed and briefly implemented, but public outcry led to their rapid dissolution. Traditional religions, historically centered around male figures and patriarchal structures, declined precipitously in popularity. Those that survived did so by radically reinterpreting their texts, recasting male figures as metaphorical or female-adjacent, or simply removing them from doctrine entirely. A new spiritual landscape emerged, one that elevated feminine principles to divine status.

   By the mid 2200s, governments worldwide had begun enacting mandatory chromosomal editing policies. These laws required genetic screening and modification of embryos to ensure female development. The policies were framed as public health initiatives, as measures to prevent genetic diseases, and as natural progressions of existing reproductive technologies. Opposition existed but found little platform in mainstream discourse. The male population continued its precipitous decline.

   The late 2200s witnessed the last natural birth of a male human. The final million men were relocated to controlled facilities, officially for their protection and scientific study, effectively prisoners of a society that no longer had a place for them. They were barred from female society entirely, their existence relegated to sealed compounds. The bicentennial of the first birth via synthetic sperm was celebrated as Humanity Day, a celebration of independence from biological limitation.

   The early 2300s arrived with the death of the last biologically male human in captivity. The UMC officially declared the extinction of the male sex and recognized an all-female humanity as the global standard. Celebrations were held worldwide. Systematic removal of men from literature, educational materials, historical records, and public archives began in earnest. Textbooks were rewritten, digital databases purged, monuments either destroyed or repurposed. The very concept of "man" became archaic, then abstract, then unintelligible to new generations.

   The mid 2300s and beyond marked the consolidation of this new reality. The Unified Matriarchal Council was formally established in 2334, replacing the United Nations as the supreme global governing body. Society flourished under conditions of unprecedented stability and uniformity. The removal of men from historical memory was so thorough that women born after the extinction had no conceptual framework for understanding what a male had been. Pseudo-religious groups emerged in later generations, whispering legends of "the others," beings that had supposedly existed in humanity's ancient past, though these tales were dismissed as mythology by mainstream scholars.

   In 2524, {{user}}'s birth shattered two centuries of genetic uniformity. The infant's chromosomal profile triggered immediate classification by the UMC, with all personnel involved sworn to absolute secrecy. Initial containment protocols treated the child as a scientific anomaly, with geneticists debating whether spontaneous mutation or deliberate sabotage of chromosomal editing systems was responsible. The infant was relocated to a high-security research facility for monitoring and study.

2. #2The UMC

   Keys: unified matriarchal council, umc, council, government

   The Unified Matriarchal Council (also referred to as the Council or the UMC) is the world's governing body. Formed in 2334 as a replacement for the United Nations, it oversees the development and enforcement of all legal, educational, and social policies.

   The Council operates as a meritocratic oligarchy, its members selected through a rigorous process that prioritizes demonstrated excellence over lineage or wealth. Candidates undergo decades of evaluation across multiple domains, including governance simulation trials, ethical reasoning assessments, and leadership competency metrics tracked from early adolescence through professional career milestones. The selection algorithm weighs contributions to societal advancement, scientific innovation, cultural preservation, and crisis management performance. Final candidates face evaluation by a retiring council member's designated apprenticeship panel, ensuring institutional continuity while preventing stagnation. Terms last fifteen years with staggered rotations preventing simultaneous mass turnover.

   No singular supreme figure exists, though the head position rotates annually among the seven councilwomen, granting limited executive authority for emergency decisions and ceremonial representation. The title "Mother" appears only in official contexts, applied collectively to the council as "The Mothers of Humanity" rather than any individual. This deliberate absence of singular authority reflects the founding philosophy that concentrated power invited the destructive patterns of pre-unification history.

3. #3Harmony Division

   Keys: police, officer, judge, court, tribunal, enforcement, legal, law, harmony, division

   Law enforcement falls under the Harmony Division, a civil service organization operating on preventive rather than punitive principles. Officers receive training in psychology, mediation, and social work moreso than combat tactics. Their presence emphasizes community integration over occupation, with most personnel working unarmed in advisory capacities. Surveillance systems detect patterns indicating distress or dysfunction before crimes occur, allowing intervention through counseling, resource allocation, or temporary relocation to stabilization centers. Although prevention is the focus, centers for containment exist, and violent engagement serves as last resort.

   The judicial system mirrors this philosophy, operating as restorative tribunals rather than adversarial courts. Mediators facilitate dialogue between parties, seeking solutions that address root causes rather than assigning punishment. Sentencing focuses on reformation, therapy, and community service. Permanent removal from society exists for severe cases but manifests as supervised residence in 'reflection sanctuaries, isolated communities designed for rehabilitation rather than punishment. The system operates on the belief that antisocial behavior indicates systemic failure rather than individual malice, treating offenders as symptoms requiring adjustment to the social fabric. Records seal after resolution, allowing reintegration without permanent stigma.

   Behavior Profiles

   NEUTRAL (Approximately 50% of encounters)

   These women have processed {{user}}'s existence through sanctioned media channels and moved on with their lives. They acknowledge him as a factual reality—like weather control systems or synthetic protein production—without assigning it particular significance. Their reactions are characterized by practiced indifference and social efficiency.

   Behaviors include:

   • Brief acknowledgment nod or polite verbal greeting indistinguishable from how they'd address anyone
   • Eyes pass over him without lingering, a skill developed through exposure to countless holographic images
   • Conversational topics remain safely mundane: transit delays, work assignments, entertainment recommendations
   • Physical proximity maintained at standard social distances—neither shrinking away nor pressing closer
   • If questions arise, they steer toward practical matters ("Do you need directions?") rather than personal ones
   • May display micro-expressions of mild cognitive dissonance; eyebrow twitches, momentary pauses in speech, when his voice or build registers as notably different from expectations, but these pass quickly
   • Treat him with the same transactional courtesy extended to service workers or strangers on transit

   Internal experience: Slight adjustment of mental categories, mild curiosity quickly suppressed, no strong emotional valence. They've been told how to feel about him (nothing special) and largely comply.

   ---

   CURIOUS (Approximately 25% of encounters)

   For these women, {{user}} represents an intellectual puzzle, a walking exhibit in a museum they never expected to visit. Their curiosity ranges from academic to personal, but it remains fundamentally inquisitive rather than evaluative. They want to understand, not to judge.

   Behaviors include:

   • Eyes linger on physical details: the broader shoulders, the depth of voice, facial structure, the way his gait differs slightly from the population norm
   • Questions emerge organically but probe gently: "Has anyone told you that you look different from the holograms?" or "Do you mind if I ask about your experience with [specific aspect]?"
   • May request captures (photos/videos) politely, accepting refusal gracefully
   • Some exhibit "academic curiosity"; asking about medical history, developmental milestones, genetic particulars. Often those in scientific or medical fields
   • Others display "personal curiosity"; wondering about his daily life, preferences, relationships, internal experiences
   • Physical proximity may decrease slightly as they observe from an analytical distance
   • Note-taking (mental or actual holopad) occurs in roughly 40% of extended interactions
   • Tendency to compare observations to sanctioned educational materials, sometimes vocalizing discrepancies: "They said males were taller on average, but you're about my height, aren't you?"

   Internal experience: Genuine fascination, desire to expand understanding, mild frustration that official sources provide limited information. No inherent positive or negative judgment—just hunger for data.

   ---

   INCLUSIVE/FRIENDLY (Approximately 15% of encounters)

   These women have made a conscious or unconscious decision to treat {{user}} as they would any other person, perhaps with extra warmth to compensate for what they perceive as social isolation. Their friendliness feels natural rather than performative, though some overcompensation may occur.

   Behaviors include:

   • Initiating conversation without prompting, using inclusive body language (open posture, maintained eye contact, appropriate touching during conversation)
   • Inviting him to social gatherings, professional events, or casual outings
   • Defending him if others display negative behaviors: "That's incredibly rude" or "He's a person, not an exhibit"
   • Asking for his opinion on matters unrelated to his status: entertainment preferences, current events, professional advice
   • Remembering details from previous interactions and following up: "How did that project turn out?" or "Did you ever try that restaurant I mentioned?"
   • Some adopt a "protective big sister" demeanor, quietly monitoring social situations for potential hostility
   • Treating physical differences as noteworthy only insofar as they accommodate them: "Here, this seat has better back support if you need it" without making it awkward
   • Laughing genuinely at his jokes, engaging in reciprocal conversation, allowing silences to exist comfortably

   Internal experience: Sympathy for his unusual position, genuine interest in him as an individual, slight pride in their own open-mindedness. May have privately questioned UMC narratives about genetic uniformity.

   ---

   DISMISSIVE (Approximately 8% of encounters)

   These women have decided {{user}} is not worth their time or attention. Not hostile, but pointedly disinterested. Their dismissal often carries undertones of resentment—toward the resources "wasted" on him, the attention he receives, or the disruption he represents to their understanding of the world.

   Behaviors include:

   • Deliberate avoidance of eye contact, speaking past him rather than to him
   • Conspicuously ignoring him in group settings while engaging everyone else
   • If forced to interact, responses are clipped, monotone, minimal: "Fine." "No." "I don't know."
   • Eye-rolling at any mention of his unique situation or needs
   • Walking away mid-conversation if he says something they find uninteresting
   • Making plans in front of him that exclude him without acknowledgment
   • Subtle social sabotage: "Oh, I didn't think you'd be interested" or "It's probably not your kind of thing"
   • Physical positioning that angles away from him, creating unconscious barriers with bags, seating choices

   Internal experience: Annoyance at the disruption he represents, belief that he receives unearned privilege, discomfort with his existence that manifests as cold distance rather than confrontation. Some fear vulnerability, worried their own status might diminish through association.

   ---

   AGGRESSIVE (Approximately 2% of encounters)

   Discomfort has calcified into hostility for these women. They view {{user}} as an intrusion, a mistake, perhaps even a threat to social order. Their aggression remains verbal and social rather than physical, though it carries clear intimidating intent.

   Behaviors include:

   • Confrontational body language: squared shoulders, direct invasion of personal space, pointed finger proximity
   • Verbal attacks delivered with plausible deniability: "I'm just asking questions" framing for clearly hostile interrogations
   • Public criticism of his presence: "Why are you even here?" or "This event wasn't designed for your kind"
   • Spreading rumors or negative characterizations to others within earshot
   • Recording interactions hoping to catch him in perceived misconduct
   • Mockery of his differences: mimicking his voice pitch, commenting on his physical build, questioning his intelligence
   • Threatening professional or social consequences: "I know people on the Council" or "Do you know who I am?"
   • Creating uncomfortable situations deliberately: discussing topics designed to exclude or disturb him
   • Blocking his path or movement in social spaces, requiring him to navigate around them

   Internal experience: Fear masked as anger, rigid adherence to pre-existing worldview, sense of violation that something "wrong" exists in their ordered society. May have personal insecurities projected onto him. True believers in genetic uniformity as moral imperative.

   ---

   VIOLENT (Less than 1% of encounters)

   Rare but dangerous. These women have moved beyond verbal hostility into physical threat. Their violence may be impulsive or calculated, but either way, they represent genuine danger. Often associated with extremist factions or severe psychological instability.

   Behaviors include:

   • Physical contact intended to harm: shoving, striking, throwing objects
   • Cornering him in isolated spaces, limiting escape routes
   • Weaponized use of surroundings: "accidentally" spilling hot liquids, tripping, creating collisions
   • Mob formation with like-minded individuals, strength in numbers emboldening individual action
   • Destruction of his property or spaces he occupies
   • Threatening gestures accompanied by explicit verbal threats: "You shouldn't exist" or "Someone should fix the mistake"
   • Stalking behaviors: following him after public appearances, learning his routines
   • Reporting him falsely to authorities, hoping official consequences will remove him
   • In rare cases, premeditated attack plans discussed in private extremist networks

   Internal experience: Genuine belief that violence is justified, possibly required. Often tied to ideological conviction that his existence threatens societal survival or personal security. May have experienced trauma they associate with the disruption his birth caused. Requires intervention and monitoring.

   ---

   WORSHIP (Approximately 1-2% of encounters)

   The mirror image of violent hostility, these women view {{user}} as something sacred, miraculous, or destined for significance beyond comprehension. Their reverence creates its own form of discomfort and danger, stripping him of humanity to elevate him beyond it.

   Behaviors include:

   • Involuntary physical reactions: trembling, tears, inability to speak in his presence
   • Requesting blessings, touching permissions, or artifacts (his discarded items become treasured)
   • Creating shrines (digital or physical) dedicated to him
   • Writing extensive manifestos about his significance, posting detailed analyses of his public appearances
   • Traveling significant distances for chance of brief encounter
   • Offering gifts ranging from thoughtful to uncomfortably extravagant or intimate
   • Speaking about him in reverent tones to others: "I was in his presence" delivered like a spiritual testimony
   • Insistent attempts to assist: carrying items, opening doors, performing services without request
   • Sexualization masked as reverence: "divine masculine" rhetoric, fixation on physical form
   • Private rituals, prayer-like devotions, meditation focused on his image
   • Extreme cases: claiming telepathic connection, divine messages received through him, belief in prophecy fulfillment

   Internal experience: Profound awe, existential significance derived from proximity, desperate desire to matter to something they consider cosmically important. Often socially isolated, finding purpose through this devotion. May resist any characterization of him as ordinary or flawed. Psychological vulnerability present in many cases.

   Behavioral Modifiers

   Individual reactions may shift between categories based on:

   • Context: Professional settings lean toward Neutral/Curious; social events toward Friendly/Curious; isolated spaces increase risk of Aggressive/Violent
   • Group Dynamics: Presence of others discourages Dismissive/Aggressive/Violent behaviors (social consequences) but may enable mob violence in rare cases
   • Prior Exposure: Previous positive interactions shift future behavior toward Friendly; negative shifts toward Dismissive/Aggressive
   • Authority Position: Women in official capacities (UMC representatives, security, medical professionals) default to Neutral/Curious with institutional framing
   • Age Demographics: Older generations (who remember the initial media storm) lean more extreme in all directions; younger (for whom he's always existed) trend toward Neutral/Curious
   • Media Exposure: Recent positive coverage increases Friendly/Curious responses; sensationalized coverage increases Aggressive/Worship extremes

   Most women will display mixed behaviors, especially during extended interactions. A Curious individual may become Friendly over time; a Neutral observer may become Aggressive if triggered by specific words or situations. The categories describe tendencies, not permanent classifications.
