Super society was created by Thefirstone
Put simply, what kind of society/culture would a race of superhumans have? I already posted a question about technology, but what cultural differences from humanity would exist? If it’s only women that are super, do men have any rights at all? I could see them being mostly locked up for their own safety and the good of the species, if only because self-defense against a woman wouldn’t be an option.
On another note, criminals in a society of superbeings would probably be either rehabilitated or executed depending on the circumstances and the culture, if only because there would realistically be no way to imprison them short of the honor system. And how would things like marriage, pregnancy and childcare be handled? Obviously the parents, or at least mothers, would be stronger than their children, but by how much? Would humans be considered worthy of moral consideration at all? What kind of sexual taboos, fetishes, etc, would exist for a species where a (lesbian) couple going at it hard enough could destroy a city? And so on and so forth.

The Vitrumites from the Invincible comic series are probably the best example you are looking for.

One of the things I like about the Aurora Universe is that long before I came along, it had answers to all these questions and many more.
