Chapter 115: West Feminists

  CNN NEWS TRANSCRIPT

  Date: April 27, 2025

  Segment Title: “Cuse Nation Rising: Mississippi’s Gender Policy Shakeup Sparks National Debate”

  [ON SCREEN: Anchor ANNA NGUYEN sits at the CNN desk with a rge digital map of Mississippi behind her, highlighting counties with high Femme Trust registrations. A ticker scrolls along the bottom: MISSISSIPPI GENDER LAWS: REFORM OR REVOLT?]

  ANNA NGUYEN:

  Good evening. Two weeks after Mississippi enacted its controversial amendments to the Polygamy and Femme Cuse policies, the state has become ground zero in a cultural experiment that is drawing attention, and criticism, from across the nation.

  From Femme Trusts legally owning property… to men in polygamous households demanding new rights… to newly formed male therapy coalitions—the Magnolia State has turned into a legal boratory for bancing masculine and feminist power under 6C doctrine.

  [Cut to: Footage of the “Red River Circle” Femme Trust delivering fig jam to a farmer’s market in Greenville.]

  ANNA (voiceover):

  In towns like Greenville and Vicksburg, women-led cooperatives are springing up, using a revised “Femme Cuse” to register as legal trusts, take loans, and even form micro-economies independent of male partners.

  [Cut to: Interview clip with ROXANNE TAYLOR, 33, Leader of Femme Trust #143]

  ROXANNE:

  We’re not anti-man. We’re pro-structure. For years, we were second wives, ghost wives, forgotten. Now, we’re shareholders. We’re legal. That changes everything.

  [Cut to: Jackson, MS – A rally of polygamous husbands outside the Capitol building. Banners read: “My House, My Asset” and “Equal Say for Husbands Too!”]

  ANNA (voiceover):

  But not everyone’s celebrating. Polygamous husbands across the state have voiced growing frustrations. Their concern? That the new Femme Cuse reforms grant legal agency to wives and co-wives—without redefining the husband's role in the equation.

  [Interview with RAYMOND TUCKER, 41, three-time husband]

  RAYMOND:

  You tell me how it's fair. I bought the nd, built the house, now my second wife’s Trust can register it and freeze me out? What are we now—roommates with benefits?

  [ON SCREEN: Graphic shows polling data from the 20 states under 6C w.]

  76% of men in polygamous marriages support keeping the 5-year divorce quota limit.

  58% of women in Femme Trusts say they feel “more empowered” post-reform.

  Only 19% of secur U.S. states say they would consider trust-style legal models for cohabitation groups.

  ANNA:

  The debate isn't just about love or marriage—it's about legality, economics, and identity. For some, these reforms are liberation. For others, they’re erosion of tradition.

  [Cut to: Press conference with SOPHIE CHEUNG, 26, Director of 6C Law and Public Policy, Jackson MS]

  SOPHIE:

  We are not dismantling patriarchy. We are redefining bance. These reforms aren’t about male vs. female—they’re about w adapting to the real social contracts already happening across the South.

  ANNA:

  Meanwhile, the rest of America watches. Feminist groups in California have begun studying the Femme Cuse for grassroots economic models. Pro-polygamy groups in Utah want simir husband quota protections. The ripple effects are real.

  Back in Mississippi, the future is being written not in courtrooms—but in fig jam bels, asset ledgers, and co-wife charters.

  ANNA (closing):

  Will Cuse Nation evolve into a new political blueprint—or implode under the weight of gender rivalry? Only time, and trust, will tell.

  This is Anna Nguyen, CNN.

  CNN NEWS FOLLOW-UP SEGMENT

  Title: "Cuse Nation Echoes: Western States React to Mississippi’s Gender Laws"

  Date: April 28, 2025

  Anchor: ANNA NGUYEN reporting from Los Angeles, CA

  [ON SCREEN: Split-screen of downtown Los Angeles, Portnd, Denver, and Seattle. The segment title glows across the bottom: “Cuse Nation Echoes: Western States React”]

  ANNA NGUYEN (live from LA):

  Two weeks after Mississippi’s revised gender policies went into effect, the ripples are being felt far beyond the Deep South. Tonight, we take you west—where secur states are watching, reacting, and in some cases, experimenting with their own versions of gender power-sharing models.

  Let’s start right here in California.

  Segment 1: California – “Femme Labs” and Economic Collectives

  [Footage: Women in Oaknd operating an urban garden co-op. A whiteboard reads “Femme Pod Alpha Collective.”]

  ANNA (voiceover):

  Though California is not under 6C rule, progressive feminists in cities like Oaknd, San Diego, and Fresno are taking notes. “Femme Labs” and “Pod Collectives” have begun popping up—loosely inspired by Mississippi’s Femme Trust model. These groups are experimenting with communal ownership, shared credit scores, and even partner contracts, though they remain outside formal w.

  [Interview: DR. NIA RAY, Berkeley Gender Studies Professor]

  DR. RAY:

  They’re watching Mississippi, but not copying it. What they admire is the legal innovation. The idea that retionships—however nontraditional—can gain economic agency. That’s new.

  Segment 2: Colorado – Mixed-Orientation Cohabitation Debate

  [Footage: Town hall in Boulder with signs reading “Poly is Not a Crime” and “Cuse Without Commandments!”]

  ANNA (voiceover):

  In Boulder, Denver, and Aspen, another twist. Polyamorous rights activists—many of them LGBTQ+—are calling for Colorado to develop its own legal “Cuse” system. But unlike 6C ws, their model would allow mixed-gender group marriages and protect polyandrous women.

  [Interview: MAX VELASCO, activist with the Free Poly Union]

  MAX:

  What Mississippi got right is acknowledging non-monogamous family units exist. But they still punish women for multiple male partners. Out West, we’re asking—why not recognize all forms of consensual love?

  ....

  Segment 3: Oregon – “Digital Trust Zones” in Portnd

  [Footage: Co-working space in Portnd branded “Cuse-Free Zone” with Femme Cuse support app demo on-screen.]

  ANNA (voiceover):

  In Portnd, tech startups are testing blockchain-based “Trust Zones” that allow small groups—primarily femme-identified—to track contributions, share assets, and settle disputes digitally. Some call it experimental. Others call it cyber-cohabitation w.

  [Interview: KEIKO TAN, software developer]

  KEIKO:

  We’re basically taking the idea of Femme Trusts, stripping out the religion and gender hierarchy, and turning it into something fully digital. Think Google Docs meets group prenup.

  .....

  Segment 4: Washington State – Legal Caution and Resistance

  [Footage: Seattle courthouse protest, signs reading “No State Cuse in Our Beds” and “Mississippi is Not a Blueprint.”]

  ANNA (voiceover):

  Seattle, however, shows signs of legal resistance. Human rights attorneys have raised concerns about importing Cuse-style models, citing potential risks to women’s autonomy and religious neutrality.

  [Interview: AMY GOLDSTEIN, ACLU of Washington]

  [Interview: AMY GOLDSTEIN, ACLU of Washington]

  GOLDSTEIN:

  Mississippi's model may offer legal tools, but they’re wrapped in theology. That makes it dangerous. Our w must protect freedom—not prescribe moral hierarchies through legal backdoors.

  ....

  Closing Segment: the National Poll Snapshot

  [ON SCREEN: Digital poll results]

  47% of Californians say they’d support legal Femme Trust-style co-ops.

  38% of Coloradans believe polygamy should be re-evaluated under state w.

  61% of Washington residents oppose any Cuse-style ws.

  Western Feminist Leaders Respond to Lawmakers’ Challenge Over Femme Group Policies

  Date: April 29, 2025 | Location: San Francisco, CA, Denver, CO, Portnd, OR

  PORTLAND, OR – A wave of defiance swept through feminist circles in the Western United States today, as wmakers in states like Oregon, California, and Colorado publicly rejected the incorporation of “Femme Trust”–style policies. Their reasoning? Such models, originally developed under 6C governance, are too deeply rooted in theocratic and patriarchal frameworks.

  But feminists across the region aren’t backing down—and they’re not buying the binary choice wmakers are offering.

  1. DENVER, CO — CLARA STANTON, director of PolyRights Front (PRF):

  “We’re not interested in 6C’s theology—but don’t think for a second that means we’ll let men tell us what legal tools we can or can’t use to build power. If trust-based economic models work for women—even if they started under a conservative state—we’ll adapt them. We don’t take orders from pastors or progressives.”

  2. SAN FRANCISCO, CA — MAYA RIVERA, co-founder of the FemPod Economic Collective:

  “Lawmakers can’t have it both ways. They cim to support women’s autonomy, but when we ask for infrastructure to support nontraditional households, they call it ‘religious.’ The only reason 6C beat them to the idea is because secur states were too slow and too scared to imagine what female-centered economics could look like.”

  3. PORTLAND, OR — DR. RINA MATSUI, gender w professor and blockchain trust designer:

  “Let’s be honest: the Femme Cuse under 6C was meant to pcate wives in polygamous households, but they underestimated how much power that cuse gave us. Now secur feminists are reengineering it without the patriarchal baggage. To reject the tool because of its origin is intellectually zy—and politically cowardly.”

  4. LOS ANGELES, CA — TALIA NORDIN, activist and YouTuber (“Femme Futures”):

  “We don’t support 6C, but we are watching them. The fact that men under 6C are freaking out about femme groups shows those models actually work. We’re here to steal what works, improve it, and make it ours—without the shes, without the prophets.”

  SOCIAL MEDIA REACTIONS:

  @CivicSiren (Oaknd): “If Christian theocrats can legalize femme trusts, what’s stopping feminist states from doing it without the church?”

  @DesertDyke (Phoenix): “Sorry wmakers—‘it’s religious’ isn’t an argument. It’s an excuse.”

  @FemPowerLab (Denver): “Adapt, not adopt. Feminist tech is coming, and it’s trust-coded.”

  NEWSWIRE BULLETIN – April 30, 2025

  Title: “Join or Die (Politically): Western Lawmakers Sm Door on Feminist Economic Demands as 6C Extends an Olive Branch”

  [SACRAMENTO, CA] — In a rare show of bipartisan unity, Republican and Democratic wmakers across Western states delivered a hard lesson to feminist leaders pushing for Femme Cuse–inspired reforms: in politics, you don’t get gray areas.

  In a coordinated press conference across capitals in Sacramento, Salem, Denver, and Olympia, governors and party leaders warned that Femme Group policy experiments, modeled on 6C’s theocratic system, would “never be codified under either major party.” The message was clear: feminist collectives need to choose a side—or be sidelined.

  GOV. ELENA YAO (D–CALIFORNIA):

  “You can’t cim to resist theocracy while adopting its legal frameworks. The Femme Cuse is not progressive—it’s patriarchal lipstick on a fundamentalist pig.”

  SEN. RICK MONTGOMERY (R–OREGON):

  “If feminists want economic collectives, great. But if you’re borrowing models from 6C, you’re not just copying software—you’re copying the operating system. And that OS is authoritarian.”

  ASSEMBLYWOMAN GRACE EPPERSON (D–COLORADO):

  “There is no space in the Democratic ptform for policies lifted from a regime that shes women and censors dissent.”

  Meanwhile, in a striking move from the other side of the country…

  JACKSON, MS – Elise Carter, Chairman of the 6 Commandments Party and one of the few women in the upper ranks of 6C, has issued a public invitation to feminist leaders in the Western U.S. to “join hands and shape the future” with 6C.

  ELISE CARTER (6C National Chairwoman):

  “Feminism is meaningless without the power to build institutions. In 6C, we gave women w, credit, ownership, and space to define their own trust circles. Our door is open. But it’s a real door—with rules, structure, and identity. If feminists want to stop theorizing and start legisting, we’re here.”

  SOCIAL MEDIA FIRESTORM

  The reactions online have been immediate and fiery. Hashtags like #FemmeUltimatum, #CuseOrChaos, and #CarterProposal are trending across X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok.

  @LeftFemmeFront: “Dems & GOP just told us we’re unwanted. Elise Carter just said, ‘come build with us.’ Do we ignore the hand or shape it?”

  @6CFaithMatters: “The West mocked us. Now they want our tools. Elise Carter is right—our structure works.”

  @FireInTheCuse (Seattle): “Neither red nor blue will let femme groups thrive. Bck or white? Guess we’re choosing bck robes and Femme Trusts.”

  Underground Roundtable – Portnd, OR | May 1, 2025 | 9:17 PM

  A hidden café basement, lights dimmed, chalkboard wall covered with diagrams of proposed femme collectives and economic trust circles. The hum of tension. A group of a dozen feminists—activists, legal schors, tech designers—gather around a circur table carved with scratch marks and coffee stains.

  Characters Present:

  Dr. Rina Matsui – Law professor, early developer of decentralized femme trust models.

  Talia Nordin – L.A.-based influencer, founder of Femme Futures.

  Cami Ortega – Grassroots organizer from Phoenix.

  Sage Donovan – Daughter of Reika Donovan (FAA), visiting from Mississippi

  Lena Wu – Blockchain dev and ex-campaign staffer for a progressive

  senator.

  Leah Avraham – Former ACLU strategist turned separatist anarcho-feminist.

  RINA MATSUI:

  (quietly, scanning the headlines on her phone)

  “Elise Carter isn’t stupid. She knows what she’s doing. She’s throwing us a bone wrapped in power. Legal infrastructure, funding, trust-building—it’s everything we’ve asked for.”

  CAMILA ORTEGA:

  (skeptical)

  “Wrapped in theology. Wrapped in polygamy. Wrapped in shes and sex cuses. You’re seriously considering this?”

  TALIA NORDIN:

  (sipping bck coffee, calm but fierce)

  “They built it before we did. That’s the hard truth. Our people are broke, floating gig to gig. Femme Trusts are real under 6C. We’re still begging Democrats for permission to pilot an app.”

  SAGE DONOVAN:

  (from Mississippi, speaks cautiously)

  “I’ve seen the cuse work. My mother’s group owns a community center. They took in single mothers. They run mediation, finance, birth control, even quiet queer networks. Yes, it’s under 6C. But they hacked the system from the inside.”

  LEAH AVRAHAM:

  (raising her voice)

  “No. No. We don’t join hands with people who sh women for having two male lovers. We build our own or we don’t build at all.”

  LENA WU:

  “Build with what money, Leah? What legal channels? Every grant application gets bckballed. Every senator goes limp when we mention female-only asset networks. Elise Carter’s inviting us to a battlefield where at least we get weapons.”

  CAMILA:

  (angrily)

  “At what cost? We wear their robes? Quote their texts? Let our sisters get ‘quota-divorced’ by polygamous husbands while we build femme banks?”

  RINA:

  “We don’t have to convert. We infiltrate. We hybridize. Elise Carter is giving us keys to a house. Doesn’t mean we have to follow the blueprints.”

  LEAH:

  “Unless we end up in chains pretending it’s jewelry.”

  TALIA:

  (pause)

  “There’s a moment in every revolution when you either shake the hand of power or bite it. Right now, 6C is the only one offering a seat at the table.”

  SAGE:

  (softly)

  “My mom always said: ‘You don't have to worship the architect to fix the house.’”

  RINA:

  “So… do we open the door Elise Carter is holding open—or do we barricade ourselves in here and wait for another decade?”

  SILENCE.

  Then a single voice:

  LENA:

  “Let’s draft a response. Not an acceptance. A negotiation.”

  PUBLIC STATEMENT BY WESTERN FEMINIST COALITION (WFC)

  May 1, 2025 | Released via encrypted blog, mirrored across decentralized social ptforms.

  "To Elise Carter and the 6C Leadership:

  We acknowledge your invitation. We also acknowledge the complexity of your gesture—a hand offered, even from a system we critique, is still a hand extended.

  You say 6C empowers women. That your Femme Cuse built legal personhood for collectives, created trust ownership structures, and pced institutional tools directly into women’s hands. We’ve seen that. We’re watching.

  But power without autonomy is still subjugation. Your framework remains bound to a theology we did not choose, to sexual mandates we cannot condone, and to a governance model that punishes dissent with holy w.

  So here is our answer:

  We will not join 6C. We will not echo your verses. But we will borrow your blueprints.

  We will adapt your Femme Cuse into secur code. We will make trust-led economic systems outside the temple walls. We will rewire your tools, and we will use them without shame.

  We thank you for proving the concept. But this movement—our movement—will be post-theocratic, post-patriarchal, and fully autonomous.

  Signed,

  Western Feminist Coalition (WFC)"*

  SOCIAL MEDIA REACTIONS:

  X (formerly Twitter)

  @FemmeBuildsNow: “WFC just made the most badass boundary ever. ‘We’ll take your hammer, but not your house.’”

  @AltFemmeRising: “Respect to the crity. No to the shes, yes to the ledger.”

  @6C_HonorSociety: “Lol. You’re using 6C’s w but pretending you’re not submitting. Delusional.”

  @LibertineCode (tech feminist): “Forking the Femme Cuse like open-source software. This is peak 2025 energy.”
