In the nation of Cruxtonia, male criminals if sentenced to death would be crucified in public.
Female criminals were hanged in the capital’s prison. At first, the women’s executions were a private affair. The women would be hang by their necks until they were dead and their bodies would be used for pig feed at the at the state’s farm. Women could be put to death for an assortment of capital crimes.
One of those offenses was the accusation of adultery. There was a movement by the women to demand equality. Men were never executed for adultery but the ruler of Cruxtonia misinterpreted what the women were asking for and dictated the accused women should be executed publicly just as the men were. His edict declared any woman sentenced to death should be hanged in the square where the citizens could witness their executions.
At first women were taken to the town square where a gallows was built. They would be presented naked before the town’s folk, noosed, and hoisted up by their neck to suffer their execution, slowly hanged by their necks until they were dead.
Of course, what the women were insisting on was they should not be hanged because they were accused of adultery but their hangings pleased the people of Cruxton and the condemned women’s protests were summarily ignored.
It was a popular event when more than one woman was hanged.
It did not stop the women from being hanged to death and besides the women being hanged their hangings were well attended events.
One might argue that capital punishment was wrong and those sentenced to death were innocent victims of the state’s wrath…
… but the hanging of the accused women was still a good show even if the women hanged did not agree!
Eventually the leader understood that the women should not be hanged but one could argue with his solution to the problem…
