The Drama Department

The drama department at my university is putting on a play. I was nervous at the audition, but I think I did well. I answer my phone, and I didn't get the part I thought I would. Instead, I got the lead role! This is amazing!

However, I only have one hour to accept the role. Otherwise they will have to go with their backup choice. It's a huge opportunity. I need to go talk to my boyfriend about this right now!

He and his teammates just finished practice, so they just went into the locker room. I rush inside:

I see his teammate Joe and Joe starts talking to me about how great their practice went. That's good to hear Joe, but I'm kind of have a serious time constraint here. Joe tells me to check the showers:

Ah there he is! I say hi to his teammate Bill, who is also in the shower, and then start talking about the role I landed in the play. He is excited to hear I landed the lead role! We are both excited! But then he pauses, and asks with concern, "Doesn't the lead role require you to be naked on stage?"

I explain to him, that yes, there is a scene -- a dimly lit scene -- where I will have to be topless, but I get to cover up quickly with a bed sheet. The audience won't see much, not only because it is dimly lit, but because my nude male costar will be climbing into the bed on the side facing the audience. But it will be obvious that I am topless when he climbs into the bed. Other team members enter the shower and listen with interest:

His teammate Albert mentions how his girlfriend was in a play once that required her and some of the other actresses to be briefly topless. The scene was also dimly lit, so much so that several of the actresses could get away with wearing skin colored pasties because the audience wouldn't notice. All of the guys encourage me to go for it and take the role in the play:

It's settled then! I'll take the role in the play. And I can wear nude colored pasties if the nudity becomes a problem, but I don't think it will be. This is such an exciting opportunity! I immediately call and accept the role! I can't wait to start rehearsing for the play!

The 1950s

The 1950s were a period of properous growth, and rapid advancements.

Couples moved to the suburbs and lived happy lives:

Of course if you looked closer it was possible to see the changing gender dynamics at play:

During World War II the men had gone off to fight and the women took on more working roles away from the home.

When the men returned the women continued their jobs in the workplace and men took on more domestic duties.

Due to clothing shortages that occurred during the war and because the men were mostly confined to the domicile, the men performed these duties nude:

Men helped the lady of the house get ready for her next work day by taking care of the ironing:

With women away at work for most of the day, cooking and cleaning dishes became the domain of the man in the house:

Having men nude at home did pose one problem though; it excluded them from the rest of society. Something should be done about this:

There were reports in the paper that there was a MAJOR change coming. Someone had discovered a loophole that would fix all of this:

The loophole was if men were considered pets, then they could travel anywhere as long as a female owner was with them:

Training men to act as good pets was started:

And that is how we reached our modern, progressive society where men are pets for women:
