This Is Not Fantasy: The Reality of Gynarchy and Female-Led Societies
There could be readers who say that the idea of a female-led society like gynarchy doesn’t make sense, and the events described in my book, Judge Grace, and especially in its sequel, Queen Grace, are unrealistic because we live in a “modern” world where such extreme forms of societal control don’t exist. But this is not true. In my research for creating the Grace Series, I examined six examples from the current world that mirror the systems and dynamics in my story. These examples show that the themes in Judge Grace and Queen Grace are not just the stuff of fantasy—they are rooted in the realities of current world affairs.
Iran: Gender Control and Public Surveillance
In Iran, women are subjected to strict gender-based laws that enforce their subjugation. The mandatory hijab law requires women to cover their hair and bodies in public, and those who violate this law face public humiliation, fines, and even imprisonment. The morality police patrol the streets in vehicles, stopping women to inspect their clothing and behavior, ensuring compliance with these laws ([1]).
In Queen Grace, the gynarchic society takes this surveillance to another level. Drones fill the skies, scanning for men who dare to wear clothes in public. Just as the morality police in Iran stop women for not wearing the hijab, the drones in Sovrana identify and punish men for wearing clothes. This parallel highlights how systems of control, regardless of the gender in power, use surveillance and public shaming to enforce conformity.
China: Re-Education Camps and Certification
In China, the government has implemented re-education camps to control and suppress minority groups, particularly the Uyghur Muslims. Over a million Uyghurs have been detained in these camps, where they are subjected to brainwashing, forced labor, and cultural erasure ([2]).
In Judge Grace, a similar system exists for men who wish to enter Sovrana from the Barrens, the ghetto where they live. To gain access, men must undergo a certification process in re-education camps, where they are indoctrinated into accepting their subservient roles. Additionally, they must find an owner from Sovrana who will take responsibility for them. This parallel shows how authoritarian regimes use re-education and control mechanisms to enforce compliance and maintain power over marginalized groups.
Nazi Germany: Economic Control and Public Humiliation
In Nazi Germany, Jews were systematically stripped of their economic rights, including the ability to hold money, own property, or work in certain professions. They were dehumanized, labeled as inferior, and subjected to public spectacles like forced marches and humiliations ([3]).
In Queen Grace, these dynamics are amplified. Men are forbidden from holding money and are reduced to subservient roles, such as cleaning, construction, or serving women. They are dehumanized, treated as property, and subjected to public shaming—like being caged in public spaces or paraded in humiliating displays. The economic control and public humiliation in Sovrana mirror the tactics used in Nazi Germany, showing how oppressive systems use these tools to enforce power and suppress dissent.
Saudi Arabia: Male Guardianship and Ownership
In Saudi Arabia, the male guardianship system gives men significant control over women’s lives. Women are required to have a male guardian—father, husband, or son—to make decisions about education, travel, marriage, and even healthcare ([4]).
This is an example of patriarchy, the opposite of gynarchy, where men hold primary power. In Judge Grace, a similar system exists in the gynarchic society of Sovrana. Men cannot live in Sovrana unless they are owned by a woman, who becomes responsible for them. If a man is un-owned, he is sent back to the Barrens, the ghetto outside Sovrana. This ownership system mirrors the male guardianship in Saudi Arabia, showing how power structures, regardless of gender, can be used to limit individual freedoms and enforce control.
Afghanistan (Under the Taliban): Political Exclusion and Monarchy
Under the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, women’s rights are severely restricted. Women are excluded from political participation, barred from attending school beyond the sixth grade, and restricted from working in most professions. They are required to wear burqas and are not allowed to travel without a male relative ([5]).
This is another example of patriarchy, where men dominate all aspects of society. In Judge Grace, men still retain some rights, such as the ability to vote, which makes Sovrana’s system less restrictive than the Taliban’s control over women.
However, in Queen Grace, Grace transforms Sovrana into a full-blown monarchy, abolishing democracy entirely. No one, regardless of gender, can vote anymore. This escalation mirrors the Taliban’s complete exclusion of women from political power, showing how oppressive systems tighten their grip over time.
Maasai Society: Traditional Roles and Subservience
In traditional Maasai society in Kenya and Tanzania, men hold all leadership roles in the community, including chiefs and elders. Women are excluded from decision-making processes and are primarily responsible for domestic duties, such as childcare and cooking. Men control livestock, the primary source of wealth, and make all economic decisions ([6]).
This is yet another example of patriarchy, where men dominate political and economic power. In Judge Grace, the roles are reversed, but the dynamics remain similar. Men are excluded from leadership roles and cannot hold firms or offices. Instead, they are reduced to subservient positions, responsible for housework, chores, cleaning women’s shoes, and washing floors on all fours. The parallels between the Maasai’s patriarchal system and the gynarchic society in Sovrana show how power structures can enforce strict gender roles, regardless of which gender holds power.
Conclusion: This Is Not Fantasy
The idea of a female-led society like gynarchy may seem extreme, but it is not unrealistic. The real-world examples of Iran, China, Nazi Germany, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan under the Taliban, and the Maasai society show that systems of control, whether based on gender, religion, or race, are not only possible—they are happening today. By drawing parallels between these examples and the events in the Grace Series, particularly in Judge Grace and its sequel Queen Grace, I aim to show that these books are not pure fantasy. They are rooted in the realities of current world affairs, and in some cases, such systems are even imminent.

The Online Safety Act: Child Protection or the Shadow of Islamization? A Warning from Sovrana and the World
Introduction: A Beta Reader's Cry for Help
My beta reader reached out recently, frustrated and bewildered. "I can no longer see your tweets," he wrote, describing how videos from my novels—scenes of dominance, submission, and unfiltered desire—had vanished from his feed on X (formerly Twitter). A quick search revealed the culprit: the UK's Online Safety Act, a law ostensibly designed to shield children from harmful content. On the surface, it sounds noble. But dig deeper, and it's clear this Act is dragging modern societies back to medieval restrictions, all in the name of "protecting the vulnerable." Instead of tackling real issues like grooming gangs or cultural clashes, governments opt for blanket censorship, eroding freedoms for everyone. And let's be honest—the root of this isn't just overzealous lawmakers. It's the creeping influence of Islam, amplified by waves of Muslim immigrants flooding Britain, courtesy of left-wing policies that prioritize "inclusion" over identity.
The Act's Facade: Protecting Children or Restricting Freedom?
The Online Safety Act, enacted in 2023 and rolling out in phases, mandates platforms like X to verify users' ages for adult content, often requiring ID uploads or facial scans ([1]). Proponents claim it's about keeping kids safe from pornography and violence. But critics argue it's a draconian overreach, forcing adults into surveillance states where privacy evaporates. In practice, it's led to widespread blocking of NSFW posts for UK users, including my own fictional depictions of femdom dynamics. As one source notes, the Act treats "harmful" content so broadly that it silences discussions on immigration and cultural shifts, all under the guise of child protection ([2]). It's easy to pass such laws—wave the flag of innocence, and freedoms crumble. But this isn't progress; it's regression to puritanical controls reminiscent of the Middle Ages, where expression was policed by moral guardians.
The Hidden Influence: Immigration and Religious Agendas
Beneath the child-safety rhetoric lies a deeper agenda: the Islamization of Britain. With millions of Muslim immigrants arriving in recent decades, their conservative values—where sex and faith clash—are reshaping laws. Islam's strict views on modesty and sexuality don't align with Britain's once-liberal ethos, leading to pushes for "decency" that echo Sharia principles. For instance, Muslim mayors and officials in cities like London wield influence, advocating policies that curb explicit content to align with religious sensitivities ([3]). This isn't conjecture; reports highlight how unchecked immigration has transformed communities, with grooming gangs—often linked to Pakistani Muslim networks—exploiting vulnerabilities while authorities hesitate, fearing accusations of racism ([4]). The Act, in this light, becomes a tool to protect not just children, but the image of these immigrant groups, stifling any critique.
Left-Wing Policies: Opening the Floodgates
Blame falls squarely on left-wing parties, whose obsession with multiculturalism has diluted Britain's identity. By championing open borders and refugee quotas, they've invited floods of immigrants without integration plans, leading to cultural clashes. In cities like Bradford or Rochdale, Muslim populations dominate, influencing local governance and pushing for laws that reflect Islamic conservatism ([5]). This mirrors the left's broader pattern: fighting for "equality" and "vulnerable causes" like minors' rights, only to enable restrictions on speech and sexuality. As a result, adult content requires burdensome verification, turning free expression into a bureaucratic nightmare. My beta reader quipped that living in North Korea might be preferable—at least there, the control is honest, not hidden behind "progressive" ideals ([6]).
Islamophobia: Silencing Dissent
Enter "Islamophobia," a term weaponized to quash opposition. Coined to protect against anti-Muslim hate, it's now a gag on free speech. Dare to criticize grooming gangs or immigration's downsides, and you're labeled phobic, risking fines or bans under the Act ([7]). This invention shields religious agendas, allowing figures in power—many from immigrant backgrounds—to dictate norms. If citizens speak out against Muslim influence on laws, they're silenced, just as platforms block my tweets for being "harmful." It's a cycle: left policies import voters who back conservative shifts, then laws like the Act enforce compliance ([8]).
Verification and the Control: North Korea in Disguise?
The Act's ID requirements for adult content echo totalitarian regimes. Users must prove they're not children, handing over personal data to tech giants or governments ([9]). My beta reader isn't alone; UK adults report feeling monitored, with one comparing it to North Korea's iron-fisted censorship ([10]). This isn't safety—it's control, born from religious pressures where sex is taboo. Britain's "modern" facade crumbles as freedoms erode, all because leniency toward immigration allowed incompatible values to take root.
Ties to My Grace Series: Sovrana's Strong Leadership
This mess echoes my Grace Series. In Judge Grace, Sovrana is a gynarchic society where women rule, and laws empower them to jail husbands at will—no trial needed. Ninety percent of voters support this, valuing female dominance. But left-wing groups like Jalem and Lyra fight it, demanding "male rights". In the sequel, Queen Grace, Grace crushes these dissenters to protect Sovrana's values. She imprisons agitators, ensuring the society's core—women's supremacy—remains intact. Britain could learn: without strong leaders like Judge Grace, left-wing leniency lets immigrants dilute culture, leading to Acts that banish freedom ([11]). In Sovrana, Grace blocks this nonsense early, standing for women's rights against invasive ideologies.
Real-World Examples: Japan – Strict Borders, Preserved Identity
Not all nations falter. Japan exemplifies protection through stringent immigration. With one of the world's toughest policies, it prioritizes skilled workers and rejects most asylum seekers, accepting only 202 refugees in 2022 ([12]). Muslims number around 230,000 (0.28% of population), mostly temporary workers from Indonesia or converts, not floods of immigrants ([13]). This preserves Japan's homogeneity, avoiding "problems" like cultural clashes or grooming scandals. No widespread Islamization here—Japan's low crime and stable society stem from controlled borders, not dilution ([14]). As one analysis notes, Japan prefers economic stagnation over high immigration, safeguarding its identity ([15]).
Hungary: A Bastion in Europe
In Europe, Hungary stands firm under Viktor Orbán, whose "no migration" policy includes border fences and rejecting EU quotas. Orbán vows to preserve Christian culture, viewing immigration as a threat ([16]). Net migration is low (0.5 per 1,000), with Muslims at a mere 0.3% ([17]). Visit Budapest, and you'll see Hungarians, not swarms of immigrants altering the landscape. Orbán's manifesto sweeps away democratic hurdles to enforce this, criminalizing aid to migrants ([18]). It's protectionism at work: Hungary avoids Britain's fate by blocking "corrosive" influences, ensuring society remains undiluted ([19]).
Saudi Arabia: Protection Through Exclusion
Even patriarchal societies protect themselves. Saudi Arabia's policies make immigration near-impossible for women, requiring male guardians and enforcing Islamic norms ([20]). Non-Muslims can't naturalize easily, and women face barriers in travel, work, and rights ([21]). This shields Saudi's male-dominated culture from "dilution," with deportations for unauthorized migrants ([22]). While against our values, it shows how exclusion preserves identity—women fleeing Saudi highlight the system's rigidity ([23]). Every society, like a cell with its membrane, needs borders to prevent disintegration.
The Cell Membrane Analogy: Why Borders Matter
Biologically, cells have membranes to protect integrity, filtering what enters to avoid chaos ([24]). Societies are similar: without borders, external entities overwhelm, leading to erosion like Britain's. Left-wing openness invites "invasion," but strong membranes—like Japan's quotas or Hungary's fences—maintain health. Saudi's exclusion, though harsh, prevents cultural blending. Fail this, and you get the UK: a "modern" nation strangled by imported taboos, where my tweets vanish and freedoms fade.
Conclusion: A Call for Judge Grace in Every Nation
Britain's plight is a cautionary tale: left-wing indulgence toward immigrants, masked as compassion, births laws like the Online Safety Act, veiling religious control in child protection. But societies must safeguard values—be it women's dominance in Sovrana or cultural purity elsewhere. The world needs more Judge Graces: leaders who stifle threats early, imprison agitators, and protect the core. I pity Britain—once free, now a shadow of North Korea. Yet, as in Queen Grace, strength prevails. Every nation deserves borders, or we'll all disintegrate into uniformity. Read the Grace Series to see how Sovrana thrives; perhaps it's the blueprint we need.
