      I’ve gathered you’re quite popular around here, so I’m probably going to get my ass handed to me for even asking you this, BUT:

      Why do (otherwise very woke) guys feel the need to make these ironically sexist jokes? I’m sure I’m just taking it all way too seriously, but I have a good guy friend who considers himself a feminist, and I hear these same jokes from him sometimes.

      It just kinda sucks because I grew up hearing old men say that shit and totally mean it, middle-aged men say it and kinda mean it, and now my-aged men saying it but supposedly not meaning it. Like, yeah it’s cool that you’re just joking, but I’m still hearing the same old degrading shit about my womanhood, only now I’m supposed to be a good sport and laugh along.

      I’m sure you’re a great dude, and I’m sincerely not looking for a fight. It’s just been on my mind as I find myself avoiding my friend, when I should probably attempt to discuss it with him openly.

    You know what has been bugging me for a month?

    Every time a story on robots comes up and you read the comments (because I hate myself), the men are always clamoring for sex robots to replace women. They are always saying those damned feminists, and the way women are nowadays... May as well have a robot!

    So really, they never saw women as anything more than Fleshlights and Roombas, but the issue is always WOMEN. How dare they think they are human and deserve other things in their lives other than to be a slave to men’s desires? How fucking dare they?!

    I always find it funny when MEN complain about women who hate them. It’s like, really? R-fucking-EALLY?!

    From the Hollywood Reporter review:

    One of the unexpected facets of the distaff-dominated world as Sawers imagines it is that, rather than becoming a lesbian utopia, it is ruled by women fearful of all sexuality. “Don’t touch it!” pleads an anti-masturbation scare film, and while women do pair up to raise families, they’re expected to be chaste partners. This is a lot less believable than the taboo arising around romance with the few men who are left on Earth, an adaptive response that would head off conflict as the pool of men shrinks.

      So it’s playing off the stereotype that women are naturally non-sexual. A couple people in the comments wondered if this was going to do something different with the ‘one gender inherits the earth’ story. Guess not.

      Yeah, I don’t see the “satire.” This is literally what the dominant culture thinks (white) women are like, and what a (white) woman-ruled world would function as. Ho-ho-ho, women don’t like fucking. Ho-ho-ho, manhaters and menicide, or whatever. Ho-ho-ho, dolphins and waves and the moon or some shit.

      Agreed, watching those dim-wits go ballistic is fun though the trailer leaves me with the same eye roll I got from Idiocracy. An idea taken to its most illogical conclusion for the laughs but instead feels pandering.

      I must admit it can’t help the science nerd in me is curious what sort of hand waving the story will use to do away with the need for males for genetic mixing. Beyond that sure wipe out males once less difference for humans to treat each other like crap over though the cynic in me feels like the result would be not change much as over time we would just find some other way to be awful to each other..

    Plug for Herland! Which is one of the better of the swath of utopian-ish fictions that came out around that time period (1890s to 1910s). But it’s still obviously a product of its time, so don’t expect it to not be racist or anything like that.

    Charlotte Gilman will forever have my heart for deciding to write a Utopia that’s full of cats and where all the clothes have pockets.

      The best part was when they shot the tranquilizer into the guy in the tree and he dropped to the ground. That made me chuckle. I will have to watch the shit out of this film.

      Actually, IIRC they did it the old fashioned way, with the cast actually noting how inefficient that was.

      I guess I’m showing my age. Back in the 1970s when I studied Women’s Studies in college, there was a semi-sub-genre of folksy acoustic music that called itself “wimmin’s music “because they didn’t like that the word “wome” contains the word “man’
