Today is the beginning of The New Era.  I am now the complete master
of Earth.  My generals have completed their conquest of this planet.
My armies went from country to country and continent to continent
conquering everything in their path.  In reality, after the first ten
conquests, my armies were known to be invincible, and most of my
opponents only put up a token resistance.  I have long believed that
there have been two main reasons for the stagnation of human society
on our planet.  One has been the constant infighting between peoples,
societies, and populations.  The other has been the confusion over the
role of men and women in society.

I have always been a student of history, and looking back at our
planet's history, I have realized that until the invention of
agriculture, men were hunters, and women were gatherers.  As human
society evolved, the role of men and women remained the same.  It just
took on a different form.  Men were the breadwinners, while women
raised children.  That was until the invention of a delusional concept
called feminism.  In theory, it called for equality between men and
women.  At the beginning, changes were slow, and society remained more
or less unchanged.  However, with the passage of time, things spiraled
out of control, until men were no longer allowed to be men, and women
no longer wanted to be women.  Another disaster which followed
feminism was societal tolerance for variance in sexual behavior.  Soon
men were in open sexual relations with men, women with women, men with
men and women, and women with women and men.  Some people gave up on
having sexual relations.  All this liberalism eventually resulted in
complete social chaos and confusion.

I however, never allowed such ideas and behavior to pollute my domain.
Our society has had a long tradition of militarism, and respect for
law, order and authority.  Any social agitators were quickly put to
the sword.  Our men get married in their early thirties, and women in
their early twenties.  Women are strictly prohibited from having
extramarital relations.  Our men are not allowed to have extramarital
relations within in their own society.  However they are free to
explore other societies, and sow their wild oats.  This also accounts
for the ten year gap for marriage between the different genders in our
society.

In reality other societies' tolerance for feminism and variance in
sexual behavior was also their undoing in the face of my armies.
While the men of other societies ended up emasculated by these ideas,
my soldiers were still real men, and they had very little trouble in
conquering these tolerant and liberal societies.  Furthermore, my men
had become familiarized with these societies when they had visited
them while sowing their wild oats.

To finally set this planet on the right path, I have proclaimed the
following rules.  I have tried to keep them succinct and short :
1.  The role of men is society is to be men, which means being the
providers for their families, and their protectors.
2.  The role of women is to be women, which means being good mothers and wives.
3.  The punishment for any extramarital affair by women, or variance in sexual
behavior by any member of society is being hanged in public.
4.  I am now the king and complete lord and master of this planet.  I
have placed one of my many trusted generals along with the men he
commands in each of the conquered domains.  These men have sworn an
oath of loyalty to me unto death, and they are willing to completely
annihilate anyone or anything who dares to stand in my way or question
my authority.
5.  To consolidate my rule over this planet for my remaining years,
and the coming years, I plan on marrying a woman from each conquered
domain.  She will bear me many children, and her most able son will
rule that domain and become its king.  If she does not have a son, the
most able son from one of the neighboring domains will take over that
sonless domain.
6.  After my death, the new ruler of this planet will be the son who
makes his domain the most similar to my native land.  He will be
called the king of kings.
