I co-ran one once.
A handful of features.
>Women are genetically altered as part of a standard medical procedure beginning by age 8.
>For brievity, think female Astartes. The sexy kind, not the super-duper roided kind. But with extra organs, stronger bones, muscles, tendons, less need for sleep, trainable neuroplasticity, etc.
>This process can't be replicated in men, because the boarderline mad scientist who made it several generations ago as a magnum opus was a raging misandrist and specifically wanted to depower men. Modern people generally don't know this though.
>Officially, it just doesn't work on men, and R&D is being done to make an equivalent for men, but research is ongoing.
>Unofficially, it's been blocked from high up, because none of the people in power, or most women, wanted men to upset that balance.
>Women naturally outcompeted men due to being able to spend more time studying, and being better able to do so, so boys collages and university courses moved away from academia to a sort of 'finishing/etiquette/home econ' thing.
>A lot actually, around handling women, as the procedure also raised aggression and competitiveness, reduced inhibitions, and of course, put women into positions of physical authority, where they weren't at risk of being physically or sexually assaulted for being too daring.
>Similarly, beauty standards for men changed. Strength and resourcefulness being more female traits, softness, tenderness, emotional openness (to assuage the burning emotional heats a woman might get) and general dependency on their partner, were more socially desirable traits.
>Some cultures even preferred chubby, or even obese men. A mix of more dependent, less personally able, and being padded to better handle a woman's greater strength.
>Similar thing with clothes.
>Because it's a relatively recent sociological transition, and because men can't get pregnant, laws and support systems to protect men aren't commonplace.
