A Woman's World: Sarah Recalls Taking Control of Her Brothers The setting of this story is sometime in the future, following a phenomenon known as the "Evolutional Anomaly" or "Feminine Gene Leap". Most women talk about it as the key to true liberation. This was the generation when young girls uniformly throughout the world found themselves developing to maturity physically and sexually two or even three years faster then their mothers had. Scientists could not understand why the gap in pubescent development between boys and girls was suddenly becoming even larger then it already had been. But this would only be the first of several mind-boggling changes in this new generation of women. This new generation of girl was commonly growing to heights of 12" over her mother, and consequently several inches over her father as well. That in itself was amazing, but there was more. Female muscle and bone density increased dramatically during puberty as well. This became the first generation where a full-grown man would search out his 12-year-old daughter to open a jar lid that was too tight for him. These amazing physical differences in women spurred a huge change in female/male roles in all societies from then on. This story illustrates some of the differences in one society. I sat up in bed and stretched lazily." Jason!?" I called toward my bedroom door. "Yes Sarah?" I heard on the other side. "What time is Dave coming over today with his new wife?" "At noon Sarah." "What time is it now?" "11:00." "Have you taken a shower yet?" "No." "Well, don't worry, I'll take one in a minute." My brothers know to wait for me to take my shower first, because I hate running out of hot water. "What are you making to eat Jason?" "I was just starting a pot roast." "Sounds good. Remember how I like my carrots." "I will Sarah." "Freya told me you got your report card yesterday." "Umm, yeah I did." "You remember what I said about your grades?" "Yes Sarah." He replied glumly. "We'll deal with this tonight after they leave. Go ahead and get back to your cooking." "Yes Sarah." Jason is a good boy, but he needs to work harder in school. From what Freya told me last night, I am not going to be happy with what I see on his report card. He thinks that just because he's a good cook, his future wife is not going to mind that he's half illiterate and has poor male etiquette. He's already a senior, and he needs to pull it together. Its not like his classes are difficult. After all, his math book is the same one our female class used when we were sophomores. I know his girlfriend demands a lot of his time too, but she's also my best friend, so I can't get too mad at her. Besides, Jason has enough free time to watch his favorite TV show every afternoon, so that means he has more time to study. I'll just have to discipline him tonight go get him refocused. One focused session usually gets him back on track for a few weeks. This entire situation with Dave coming to visit with his new wife reminds me of the first time I really took control of my family. Dave is the one who woke me up to how important discipline is for men. It was about two years ago now. I woke up early on that Saturday morning. I could have slept in more but I wasn't tired. I sat up in my bed like I am now and stretched. Across the room in the mirror I could see that my long brown hair was messy and snarled. My little sister Freya and I had been wrestling that night before we went to bed. I looked over to see her sleeping soundly next to me. I let her sleep in my room sometimes because she hates sharing a room with her brothers. I have to admit, I favor my little sister heavily over my three brothers. As I looked down on her, she looked so cute sleeping in my old T-shirt. It fit like a nightgown on her 6-year-old body, but I had outgrown it the previous year when I was 14. I had already been growing so quickly over those previous two years, it was almost scary. It makes me laugh to think about it, but things were about to become very scary for my brothers that day. Things sure have changed a lot between them and I over the past couple of years, although at least from my point of view, they've been great changes. Its just the natural course of things really though. I remember looking across the room into the mirror some more; I could see that the T-shirt I was wearing was becoming too tight. The words Lincoln High were stretched and distorted looking across my boobs, and the sleeves were bunched tightly over my thick shoulders. This shirt had fit just fine only 2 months before that. But its not like I was getting fat. Except for my boobs I had been growing all muscle, so it wasn't my fault. All there really is for young girls to do around here without getting into trouble is play sports and lift weights. It just meant I had to buy some larger clothes and pass this shirt on to my brothers, along with the other stuff I had outgrown. My family is just too poor to waste clothes. Besides, I enjoyed watching my older brothers walk around in baggy shirts and shorts that I had outgrown two or three years before. I still do. One shirt that I made Kyle wear yesterday though was funny. It's got a picture on it of a boy I had a crush on a long time ago from some band. He hates that shirt, but it makes me laugh to see him in it. I usually just make him wear it when he annoys me. Kyle is 14, Jason is 18, and my oldest brother Dave is 24. He was 22 when he moved back home. He had moved out on his own for a couple of years, but he wimped out. I think his girlfriend at the time had dumped him, and he couldn't hack it on his own. Not many men can really, but our family couldn't really afford an extra mouth to feed. So I hadn't made things very easy for him since he came back, because he needed to either pull his own weight or leave. My Aunt Jenna, dad's sister, stops by regularly a couple of times a week, and checks on everyone. She has helped our family a lot since my mom died in a freak accident while giving birth to Freya. She gives us enough money to get by, but she makes sure my dad earns his keep. That's why he works two jobs. Its good for him, but it makes him too busy to spend much time directing the boys. That's where I come in, but up to that point, I had pretty much let my brothers do their own thing as long as they stayed out of my way. My aunt had tried to discuss issues of discipline for boys with me, but I guess it hadn't really sunk in at the time. I did admire the way she handled the boys though. She was polite, but there was never any question of who was in charge when she was around. Everyone, especially my dad, was naturally aware and cautious of her presence as she moved through the house. But getting back to that Saturday morning, I kissed my sister on the forehead and made my way into the living room. Kyle scattered out of my favorite chair and went to sit on the couch. "Kyle, wake Dave up and tell him to make breakfast." "But Sarah, he's going to kick my ass if I wake him up." "Tell him I told you to do it, silly." I chuckled. Kyle walked into the other room. I heard some mumbling from Kyle, then groaning from Dave. "Its too early to get up," Dave whined. I called in from the living room, "You've got one minute to be in the kitchen starting breakfast before I come in there to get you up." "Oh, gimme a break, its only 7:30." This got me up. I walked heavily over to the doorway of his room and stood there. He sighed, but my presence put a lot of pep in his step. When he had first moved out of the house I was only 12 years old, so he hadn't really had to deal with me as a woman. He obviously wanted to rebel against it, and that's why I wanted to stay in his face. He either needed to get a job and contribute to the family soon, or move out of the house, so I considered it tough love. As he slid some pants on over his shorts and moved toward the door he didn't look directly at me. I was leaning one shoulder against the door jam and my hand of my other arm was pressing against the other side of the doorway. He had to duck slightly to walk under my arm, but not much since I was probably almost a foot taller then his 5'8" frame. "Hey, come back here Dave." My voice froze him in his tracks, but then tried to look relaxed as he turned to face me. "I said come here." He glanced back quickly at his two brothers on the couch. I saw Jason give him an encouraging look. "Don't look at your brothers, worry about me little boy!" He took a step back toward me, and I saw the anger in his face. He had always had a short temper. I pointed to a spot on the floor directly in front of me. "Plant your little feet right here, kid-do." "Alright Sarah, that's enough! You are still my little sister. I used to have to cradle you in my arms when you wouldn't stop crying. I fed you and changed your diaper god's sake! Someone needs to teach you respect for your elders!" This was what I had been waiting for. I reached out quickly and grabbed his upper arm with my right hand. He tried to jerk his arm away, but my fingers reached almost completely around his arm. I easily guided him with a twist of my wrist toward the couch. "It looks like I need to have a sit-down chat with my little brother." At that point Dave flew into a full-blown tantrum! He tried to throw his body loose from my grip, and then he tried to swing at my face with his free hand. I caught his wrist, and I was getting so angry at that point that I half considered breaking it. Instead, I quickly gathered his upper body and arms against my chest, wrapping my arms around him. His feet left the ground at that point, so he immediately started flailing his legs. I bent over slightly and was able to capture one of his legs between mine. He was still trying to kick me with his one free leg, but it was pathetic. I spun around on my heels and fell back into the couch. I now had him on my lap. I looked down at his face, which was so distorted in anger and frustration, and started laughing in spite of myself. "You bitch!" He spat. I could have easily ended the confrontation right then, but Dave needed a good lesson. I looked up and saw the other two boys just standing there, stunned by the situation. I'm sure they were afraid for their brother, as they should have been. I caught his legs between mine and held them tight. He was squirming wildly, and the way he was bumping his head into my boobs had to stop. I hooked my left arm around his torso and pulled him against my side. My left hand had caught his left hand as I reached around him, and I pressed it firmly against his chest. I squeezed hard with my left arm, really only wanting to hold him still at that point. I was surprised at how easily his chest caved against the pressure of my one arm. I knew I had gotten much stronger in the past months as I had matured, but I didn't realize how soft men had become to me. Most males around me were smart enough to stay out of my way, so aside from an occasional playful wedgie, I hadn't gotten physical with any boys lately. He was trying very hard to hold a small amount of air in his lungs. I reached across with my right arm and pulled his head tightly against my shoulder, turning his face toward mine. His eyes showed panic, but he really couldn't move or make a sound. I looked deeply into his eyes as I relaxed my left arm, and then flexed it even harder. The air forced from his body made him sigh awkwardly, but that was all he could do. As I squeezed him and his eyes rolled back into his head I felt goose bumps run all over my. I was in complete control of his every breath. His right arm was somewhat free, pointed straight out from his body, but it only batted the air weakly. I held him tightly like that for a few seconds and spoke quietly in his ear. "Okay little guy, we are about to have a heart to heart." I let up the squeeze a little, but I kept my left arm flexed so that he couldn't get a full breath. He was docile now. I released his head with my right arm and flexed it slightly in front of him, catching his free forearm at the crook of my forearm and biceps. My full, tanned biceps even half flexed were thicker then his entire pasty weak male arm. I continued softly in his ear, "Geez Dave, I remember when your arms used to look so big and strong to me. Remember when you used to hold me down and tickle me until I cried or until dad would come save me? But that was a few years ago wasn't it?" I tightened my left arm around him hard and for a few seconds and watched him twist his head in anguish. "Who do you think is stronger now? Do you think dad can save you? He's right in the other room sleeping, why don't you call for him?" I was really starting to enjoy my power over my once bigger brother. I didn't really expect him to answer my questions because he was too busy trying to catch his breath within the small amount of space that I gave his lungs to expand. I looked up and noticed that the boys were all still standing there watching us. Speaking up, I said, "You boys don't wander too far. In fact, have a seat, I want to say a few words to you two when I'm through talking to Dave." I focused my attention back onto my oldest brother. "Hmmm" I said softly to him as I noticeably flexed my right arm around his forearm. "Your little sister has some pretty nice arms for a fifteen year old, don't you think?" I let him watch as my biceps grew in front of him. I could feel a rapid pulse in his arm against my skin, as it tried uselessly to pump blood to his hand, which hung limply from his wrist now. For a finishing touch I tightened my fingers into a fist, making my forearms bulge larger and even harder. His soft forearm looked like dough the way I squeezed it. I straightened my arm, and there was an audible pealing noise as our sticky skin separated. I giggled at the sound. At that very moment the phone rang, so I told the boys I would answer it. Dave needed to catch his breath anyway. "Stay where you're at little buddy, we aren't through yet." I slid down the couch and picked up the phone from the end table. "Hello?" "Hey girl, what's up this morning?" It was my best friend. "Oh hey Missy, not much," I said as I examined my fingernails. "I was just having a little family meeting with my brothers." Missy was my best friend from school even then. "Oh, is Jason there?" She chimed. "Tell him I said 'Hi', and I'll be over in a two hours." She had just started to date Jason at that point. I lowered the receiver from my mouth and said to Jason, "Guess who says hello. It looks like you have about two hours to have your chores done for the day." I couldn't help but smile a little, even though I was cross with him. He just smiled weakly. Missy and I talked about school for the next few minutes. While we were talking, my little sister wandered out of my room. She noticed right away that Dave looked red-faced and unhappy and the other boys looked stiff and uncomfortable. "Freya honey, would you run into the bathroom and get the soap please." I called out politely. Freya ran into the other room and came out holding a fresh bar of soap. I said goodbye two my friend and turned back to my brother. It was time for round two. "Okay Davie, where were we? Oh yeah, I was about to explain to all you boys what it means to be a woman, and what it means to be a man." I stood up and walked over to Dave. He was quite docile now, so I scooped him up and cradled him in my arms. I turned around and faced the other boys. I knew from that point on I was going to have to discipline my brothers more rigorously in the future. I looked into his eyes calmly, as I curled my arms against the resistance of his body. His hands reached up and pushed frantically against my left fist, but he felt ridiculously weak. I could already see a large bruise forming on his forearm from my biceps demonstration. "How does it feel to be cradled in your little sister's arms? I wonder if I felt this soft and light in your arms when I was a baby. I doubt it." I looked up at my brothers. "Does anybody want to bet that I can't hold Dave like this for two hours?" Nobody stirred an inch, except for Dave, who was still struggling against my arm. I looked back down at him and his eyes were starting to shed tears. "You better not start crying or I may have to cuddle you like this until you calm back down Davie." I smiled down at him and watched him struggle for composure. "Do you want me to put you down now Davie?" He nodded vigorously. "Can you say please?" "Pl-please." He gasped weakly. I lowered him down, but I stuffed his torso between my thighs. I let go with my hands and held him with my legs, suspended face up. I put my hands on my hips and turned my attention to my brothers. "Listen closely, because this is an important lesson to understand. I am a woman, and this is what that means: I rule this household. I know what is best for the boys in my household, and believe me, you are all boys. I do not answer to any males for my actions. It is my job to ensure the safety and proper training to my boys. You all need to learn to pay attention to the women in your life, and anticipate. For a man to be happy, his women must be happy. Today is your first real lesson. Women don't like is to be questioned by men, and especially not by boys. And one thing no woman will ever tolerate from any male is to be called a BITCH!" I looked down at my brother between my legs. "Did you hear that Dave?" I had been flexing my thighs little by little while I spoke, so he was bucking as much as his exhausted weak body would allow, and tears were running down the sides of his face. "I asked you a question little brother." "Yes! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He wailed. "That's a good boy." I let him go, and he rolled around on the floor lamely. I watched him for a minute and then told him to get up "I'm glad that you're sorry, but you still need to be punished for calling me that bad name." I sighed and said coldly "Stand up." He slowly got to his feet, although he was hunching forward from the pain in his midsection. I knew nothing was broken, but he had probably strained some of his soft muscles pretty badly. "Okay Dave you get to choose, do you want a bar of soap on your tongue for 15 seconds or do you want a simple 5 second spanking?" "Soap." "Oh come on, 5 seconds versus 15, are you sure?" "Yes." "Okay, but my little ol' spanking arm was just getting warmed up. If you want your little sister to let you off without using it, you have to do a couple of things first." I flexed my right arm. "You have to give these biceps that are about to have mercy on you a big wet smooch. Then you have to explain to your brothers that I am a woman now, to be admired and respected at all times." He didn't even hesitate. He walked over to my arm and kissed my biceps (I was proud of them at the time, but they're larger now). "Sarah is a woman, and she is to be admired and respected at all times." "Good boy. Now stick your tongue out and open your mouth. Freya, place the soap on his tongue and count to 15." She did it slowly and steadily. Dave did his best to hide his repulsion. When it was over, I told him he could wash his mouth out and then make breakfast. When he left I turned to the other two boys. "Jason, I saw the look you gave Dave a few minutes ago. Did you want him to do what he did?" "No Sarah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything, honest." "Okay, but I'm going to keep a close eye on your behavior. Now come over here and give me a hug." I held my arms out wide and waved him to me with my fingers. He came to me stiffly, and I swallowed him up in my long arms. "Mmmm, you know your sister loves you, right Jason?" I had to relax hug a little for him to squeak a yes. "Good, now go help your brother." He turned and did as he was told, although he stumbled clumsily the first few steps. "Okay Kyle, come give your big sister a big hug." He did as he was told as well. I knew he was expecting a sample of my female strength, but I only hugged him softly. When he turned to leave I just gave him one solid swat on his rear in a playful manner. "Just make sure you behave." I had to admit, Dave did make some good eggs. He moved around pretty gingerly for the next few days, but he learned respect. All of my brothers learned a little more that day. But I've found that there's always room for improvement. They only need the right motivation.
