  • This reminded me of a story in “Archipelago Gulag.” Bear in mind, some gulags were absolutely vast.
    So at least in this particular gulag, women and men had separate dormitories, but men often visited the ladies’ huts and openly got it on, resulting in a lot of pregnancies. Pregnant women didn’t need to work and after their 2nd (3rd?) child, they were discharged and could go home.
    The guards finally managed to keep the intruders out, but now, men and women just met after work, out in the open. Guards put up barbed wire to gender-separate the areas. Pregnancies surged even harder. How so? You see, the wire did not touch the ground in all places. So the men got down under the wire, on their backs. The women squatted down, and…
    The guards then put up a solid fence, but good jumpers/ climbers could get over it, so… pregnancies, still. Finally, they made the fence so tall that the baby-making stopped… almost entirely.

    “In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic.” - K.M.
