Men
Men are considered the lowest of the low. By society's standards, men's only uses are to serve as soldiers or for procreational purposes.
Men have no real emotions as they are all repressed at early ages. Because of this, they have no real inhibitions or goals either. They are taught to thrive off of orders and direction as well as the kill. They are also taught to seek honor by dying for the woman they may serve (for guards especially) or by protecting the faction on the field of battle.
In some cases, men are "owned" by women. In this circumstance, a wife owns her husband and her male children. Occasionally a sister may own her brothers. They can sell the men to be guards or soldiers, sell them off to other women, order them around, and pretty much dictate a man's life. The faction leaders own all the men within the faction and have more power over the men within it than the women who 'own' them. Such as, if a woman wants to sell her husband off as a soldier but the faction steps in and takes him to be a guard, what the faction dictates will be done. The faction never needs to pay for the men. This process of owning men is most often seen in the Sisterhood, and seldom anywhere else.
For procreational purposes, a man may never refuse a woman's advances. A man may never refuse a woman's proposal of marriage. The only exceptions are Guards, Maophaoroh pilots, and those who are already married or engaged. (in the Holy Fallen Empire, this is void as it is a male dominated society).
Men are split into different roles: guards, soldiers, and work force.
Guards are specially chosen men assigned to protect and serve a specific woman, usually a pilot, a noble, or some other woman who can afford to buy them from their owners. The School may pick and choose who it wishes to train to become a guard at will.
Soldiers are most needed by the factions and therefore take up the majority of male occupations. At least ninety percent of men are trained to become soldiers in the school. Those who are not taken away to be a guard or kicked out into the work force are sold into the other factions once a supply has been sent to Maeter Purge.
The Work Force entails mechanics, grocers, farmers, dyers, tailors, and other such general occupations that fuel the economy. They don't make any pay unless they are married men. The majority of the work force is compromised of men that have a disability that does not allow them to fight.
On the occasion there are male nobility, they are treated inferior to the women. Sons of faction leaders are usually married to the daughters of other factions to form alliances, but otherwise, they aren't very useful. Most are sent off to become soldiers or are specially trained to become guards for their sisters.
