Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Less than a year after Tatiana Moskalov established a nation of women in southern Moldova, Tunde finds evidence of a secret army entirely of men, funded by Saudi oil billionaires. The army is gathering to the north of Bessapara to attack the women’s stronghold and summarily end this new era. Tunde has by now earned an international reputation for his reports documenting how women have begun to use the skein to strike back at men. particularly in entrenched patriarchal cultures. The tension between the genders is exasperated by the presence of an online agitator who has dubbed himself UrbanDox. His inflammatory postings defend men, describe the women as mutants, and call on men to put down the women now, citing the uncompromising messages of the movement’s spiritual leader, Mother Eve.
Meanwhile, women’s rights demonstrations grow violent. Tunde flies to India where he witnesses frenzied women descend on helpless men. In Delhi, he is set upon by a woman who demands sex from him. Tunde refuses. She overpowers him and, using the jolt of electricity to stimulate his penis, she pleasures herself despite his objections. It is a new kind of rape. The woman laughs at Tunde’s helplessness.
