Shopping trip surprise

I made this one for cage71 on Rachel's Haven.  I hope you all enjoy it.



A little bit of background on this one.  The idea came from something of a twist on an old cliche.  In many caps, you often find a character who is a militant feminist, transforming men for slights real and imagined.  It occurred to me while thinking, though, that this doesn't seem to make much sense really.  Yes, they are usually turning men into the kind of women they think men want (bimbo, slutty, etc), but they are still turning men into women as a punishment, which implies Being a woman is a form of punishment.  There are ways to justify such a situation, but it still strikes me as a bit odd.  Instead, I decided to take things in a different direction.  Hence a militant Misogynist.  One of those guys going on about what it is to be a "real man".  I'm sure everyone has met someone like that at least once in their life.  Real Men don't cry.  Real Men play football and drink beer.  Real Men treat women with no respect.  Someone like that would certainly view being turned female as a punishment.  And if he had the power to "punish" those who weren't living up to what a Real Man should be?  Well, I think the result might just be something like this.

  1. much agreed, I always thought this senario made more sense than the feminist witch angle (which is somewhat backwards and a little less than sensitive to actual pagans, though I think they're funny for what its worth)
