Resurgius Redux, the Sex War

Young Serge Bering-Strait, somewhat inspired by his love of the classics, and perhaps somewhat inspired by the idea of poetic justice, and simply pressured to let off steam, writes a novel-Resurgius Redux. Coincidentally, or not, he begins his novel immediately after meeting the girl of his dreams. His novel is a futuristic tale of a universe governed by women, called Mize, who bear a striking resemblance to his activist mother and aunties. In the nation called Atalanta, however, trouble is brewing.The enslaved Dongs, as males are called, are in revolt. In fact, there's an underground leader in ascendancy-one Resurgius. This stalwart Resurgius bears an uncanny resemblance to our author, Serge, obviously a wish-fulfillment, for he has everything that Serge has not-especially muscles and courage, though he is several I.Q. points down from Serge himself and wears Serge's actual horn-rimmed spectacles. Through a series of extraordinary battles, the ruling Mize of Atalanta are at last bested by the long-suffering and suppressed Dongs who join them in a happier coexistent universe led by a resurgent Resurgius and his beloved Amanda.
