Imagine the rejoicing. All the men are gone (GRoM day) and the technology to clone a woman is available. A clone is an identical daughter. The daughter's genome is identical to the mother's genome. So we have a world of women, by women for women. Lots of women. About three billion women.
The fear of global warming has receded as a result of getting rid of the more polluting half of the planet's human population. A golden age has come. A gynotopia. The gynotopian vision has a stable world of women and their clone daughters living in sustainable equilibrium with nature.
Every woman in gynotopia has the right to one clone daughter of herself. This way, all being well, the population of gynotopia remains fairly constant. The population profile stays the same. And every woman has a daughter. Stable..sustainable..gyntastic.
In the beginning (GRoM day) the were three billion different women (except for the identical twins). All fertile women were required to produce a single clone. This initial cloning event, 000-001, marked the beginning of a line of identical women. There were no sisters, only mothers and daughters.
After the first GRoM day celebrations three school friends: Alice, Beth and Carol decided to have clone daughters at the same time. They decided to try to coordinate the births on the first anniversary of GRoM day. Their daughters would grow up together and be great friends just like their mothers. Alice was an auto-mechanic, Beth collected garbage and Carol screwed in light bulbs. For many generations prior to GRoM day men had become little more than pets.
Within the same week Alice-001, Beth-001 and Carol-001 were born. Time to celebrate in gynotopia.
As time went by the 001 girls grew up to be great friends just as their mothers had hoped. They followed their mothers in their respective careers. Cars were being fixed, garbage collected, and light bulbs were glowing. Life was good in gynotopia.
Until...
on a wet windy afternoon the pregnant Beth-003 was fatally crushed by her own garbage truck at the end of her shift. The primary Beth, Beth-000, had passed away some years before, but granny Beth-001 and mother Beth-002 were joined at the funeral by Alices and Carols.
This left Alice-003 and Carol-003 without their friend and the local garbage service short one member of team 47. This was the end of the line for Beths. The late Beth-003's mother was already to old to keep the line going. The garbage collection team was able to adapt but at a lower level of service. After much debate a consensus emerged that the principle of stability and sustainability were so important that the principle of diversity might be compromised. This resulted in a decision to permit Dina-003, a colleague of Beth-003 on team 47, to have two daughters Dina-004A and Dina-004B. These two sisters would in their turn inherit the jobs of both their mother and the deceased Beth-003.
The decision to ask a Dina to fill the gap caused by the untimely death of Beth-004 was based on the historically superior performance of Dinas in the business of collecting garbage. It was thought that two Dinas on the team rather than one Dina and one Beth would only serve to improve the overall performance of the team.
As the sister-line of Dinas made their contribution to team 47 as expected it was understood that there would be more compromises and that the principle of diversity would become a distant memory in gynnotopia.
After many many generations we return to gynotopia to find a population of similar size to that of the founding mothers, but we only find three surviving lines. The vast majority of women are now Abebes. The founding mother Abebe had been running a small farm when she began the line that filled the world with almost two billion of her descendants. The Abebe "sisters" proved to be a hard working disease resistant population. Abebes keet gynotopia working. Abebe-999RTY856 was an auto mechanic. Abebe-999HJK539 worked on garbage crew 47 and, you guessed it, Abebe-999VRF954 screwed in light bulbs.
