Building a Kingdom of Women

At 3:14 p.m. on December 21, 2012, Zeng Meili gazed up at the sky and sighed. “It's 2012, world. Why don't you just end already? Just end!! Or send me to a matriarchal world! I've had enough!” Every member of the tribe was a woman, and her cheap mother wore a tiger skin that symbolized the tribe's highest status... Damn it, wasn't this a matriarchal clan? A ridiculous thought flashed through my mind. I stared blankly at the cave ceiling, blackened by smoke, as the ideas of a women-dominated world and a matriarchal clan took turns whirling through my head. “Heavens! Could you be any more ironic?!” I wept great, broad streams of tears.
