Two years ago time of writing, after a heavy lobbying effort from political think tanks alleging that an increasing mainstream acceptance and discussion of bdsm practices was forcing a submissive lifestyle on women, congress began debating a bill that categorized BDSM as inherently incompatible with consent. In response, a group of self-proclaimed feminists held a sapphic orgy outside congress as protest, not knowing that that protest would irrevocably change the conversation on women's rights for the foreseeable future; if not forever.

In their orgy, women wrote political messages on their bodies rejecting the resurgence of increasingly puritanical legislation, some pointed and some lewd, but all displayed on their nude bodies as they indulged in their exhibitionist escapade.

Law enforcement was sent out with a new crowd control spray designed to avoid escalation, developed by a new startup called BetterCo, run by relative unknown Dr Elijah Franklin. Instead of creating a stinging sensation that was as likely to incense protestors as discourage them, this new spray merely caused a chemical reaction that put the target in a suggestible state of mind—offering officers an easier path to calming and directing protestors.  

BetterCo and the government have since made public that at the time, the spray was in a prototype phase that merely weakened pushback rather than causing immediate obedience, as well as only worked on those with X/X chromosomes—which is why it hadn’t been used widely prior. The fact that this protest was 100% sapphic allowed it to be the first successful demonstration of the new sprays potential, and the aesthetic of non-confrontational de-escalation was too appealing to state officials not to invest in heavily. 

Due to the prototype status, how long the suggestible state lasted is unclear; as was how heavily the commands give to them in that state would impact them going forward. This uncertainty over its lasting impact was not information that was made available to the public at the time, but seemingly has not caused any lasting issues as far as this reporter could find. If there was any misconduct regarding the suggestible protestors, it went either unnoticed or, for whatever reason, unreported. Some allegations of odd behavior from their peers would eventually arise, but by then BetterCo was recognized as a much-needed budding leader in a fragile new world. 

And their leadership was certainly needed, as after the protest was dispelled the conversation shifted drastically in the opposite direction. 

Clearly, it was argued, there was at least some portion of women who were naturally promiscuous on a level that needed to be addressed. 

This portion of the female population was given a political subclass designation—Sluts. 

There was some pushback on the name from female members of congress; but the controversy of the protest was too high profile to hold up legislation to address it over something as small as the word used to label the political subclass being created. 

All 40 protestors supported the legislation in lockstep. They had no feedback or suggestions, and the legislation was pushed through with a healthy majority.

The first right guaranteed to the newly formed political subclass was the Right to Masturbation. Any workplace that hired a Slut would need to accommodate her need to cum her brains out regularly. Future accommodations to the needs of the political subclass would be considered as its needs became clearer over time.

All 40 protestors were designated as Sluts, of course. They all lost their jobs within hours of the protest, and no one else was willing to hire them.

No one, that is, except BetterCo, who in the following months—flush with cash from state contracts—opened its doors to the new political subclass, training them to help develop in-demand, trusted products in fields like pharmaceuticals, makeup, cologne and perfume, app development, wearable technology, storage, security and more. 

The steadily rising number of state-registered and self-identifying Sluts obviously indicates that many women were in fact closeted Sluts, and simply needed the political support to act on their natural whorish compulsions. 

To suggest any other reason would in this reporters view be baseless conspiracy, despite the popularity of doing so online. 

At time of writing, BetterCo has been a stabilizing force in this new cultural landscape. The Women’s Wrongs bill is at this very moment undergoing reviews to determine what else Sluts may need to accommodate their depravity such as whorish outfits, fuck breaks, sex toys available in the office, and other proposals. Dr Franklin has been offering vital testimony in that regard. Without his leadership and willingness to engage in what many companies are still treating as taboo, we might be lacking in the understanding required to keep up with these challenges.

While many companies debate how or even whether to integrate Sluts into their workforce, BetterCo has kept every Slut employed and contributing to the economy. They have cultivated a corporate culture that accommodates the compulsions and natures of what increasingly seems to be a vast amount of women. They even make use of the large variety of skills and expertise encompassed within the Slut subclass to develop innovative products, technologies and services. 

It is this reporters opinion that BetterCo is ultimately a force for good in this country, and I have faith Dr Elijah Franklin will be able to handle whatever challenges come his way in this brave new world with the same tactical skill and forward thinking talent that his leadership has indicated thus far.
