I have been asked by a reader, "so what is the big deal about Lien giving Tom a blowjob when he was asleep".
From Chapter 20 of Indentured: a New Beginning:
"According to the law, if a slavegirl initiated sex with any male without command she had to be disposed of. If a slut initiated sex without permission, I'm not sure what the ramifications were. I needed to talk to the university legal office about it."
To give some more background to the story:
It is a closely held secret in the BFA Archives that Jean-Pierre Marteau was a "boytoy" and kept as a sex slave for over twenty years by several members of the Inner Circle of the FLF. And that it was one of his daughters that released the information proving that the FLF had created and released the virus that almost caused the complete extinction of men.
Jean-Pierre Marteau said in his Fist and Arrow manifesto that female sexual agency was the greatest of all threats to men, especially with respect to a woman's sexual initiation to a nonconsenting man.
After the Glorious Androcratic Revolution, the Compulsory Female Enslavement Law was written under the assumption that all adult women would be slavegirls. However to get the law to pass, the Equalists insisted on having a method of limited exclusion from slavery for women. Thus the "Freedom Fee" came into existence.
Section 2 - The Freedom Fee
a- A female who is not registered as a slave by her closest male relative or any other male who purchased her from her closest male relative is considered free. Property rights of a free female belong to the closest male relative (CMR). A female shall remain free until the time her CMR decides to enslave or sell her, and she cannot be enslaved without the consent of her CMR. All females over the age of 18 must be registered by the Bureau of Female Affairs. CMRs of females who choose not to sell their females must pay a "freedom fee" in order to buy a "limited exclusion from slavery" permit. A female can be excluded from slavery for only two years with a single permit. The exclusion term can be extended by further payment. Failure to pay will result in immediate enslavement of the female subject by the BFA.
b- The exclusion from slavery will be nullified if;
i- The female fails to pay the fees by the deadlines specified in her exemption permit.
ii- The female voluntarily submits to a master before the end of the exclusion.
iii- The female commits a felony during her exclusion.
Tom's confusion is that he does not know if a "limited exclusion from slavery" permit legally allows a woman to initiate sex to a sleeping man without prior permission.
