Airam Eorris Ossernon, President of the Ossernon Shipping Corporation, reviewed the inventory of his latest personal property. A huge mansion and estate had been built on the remote planet of Misogyn – a rock with rather hot, but suitable climate for humans, but no real mineral wealth. The place only became know for it's government, which afforded women no rights.
Supposedly that had begun when the original colonists had a dispute over breeding a suitable population. Apparently the women had refused to 'do their part' unless their comforts were seen to. A large group of male colonists then formed a government, seeing their 'comforts' were unreasonable, and so passed laws giving them no rights at all. A hundred years later, it was a haven for playboys and chauvinists.
Airam was neither of these things, but with rising popularity of the planet for vacationing it was time to invest in some property. In addition to his personal estate, he purchased a huge area of undeveloped land, to later have a private spaceport built for his company to service the shipping and travel needs of a tourist industry.
At the bottom of the list he reviewed, was a purchase he had actually gotten a thrill from – his own personal maid. A purchased maid was essentially a slave, but he shied from the term. He'd chosen, from a dozen of the most attractive women on the planet who were currently up for auction. Her holo-images were beautiful, and he couldn't wait to meet her in person. She was to be delivered to his new home before he arrived, along with the rest of his goods and personal effects.
