““Tharna,” I said, “was once a typical Gorean city, but, over time, free women, seeking power by various means, the indoctrination of the young, the application of rhetorics, the shaping of values, the utilization of convenient devices such as humiliation, guilt, and shame, induced many men to disarm and deny themselves, to fear and reject masculinity, to divest themselves of manhood, to foreswear and repudiate their blood and very nature.

Tharna became a gynocracy. But men, like urts and verr, like tarns and larls, have a nature. They are not malleable clods of formless clay which may be shaped into any eccentric form preferred by those who hold the reins of the state, by the unseen engineers of society.

Eventually, men, sickened by self-denial, unwilling to tolerate an outlawed manhood, deciding to discover themselves, deciding to grow and flourish without trammel, revolted. The gynocracy, gradually and subtly wrought, inch by inch, over generations, was suddenly and violently overthrown.”

“Today,” said Seremides, “there is only one free woman in Tharna, Lara, her Tatrix.””
