I stuck my finger in one of those car cigarette lighters when I was really young, like six or so. I was real stupid. I even knew what it was for, because I'm the idiot that pushed it in and got it all warmed up.
Every time I'm in the front seat of a car I'm not driving, I feel the urge to try this.
See, I cant fathom how a future, feminist, politically correct distopia isn't just a reversal of where we're at now.
Imagine a world where you're barred from all the best jobs and your female colleagues earn more than you.
Imagine a world where your big white face is seen as a threat, and the police have free reign to kick the fuck out of you, or shoot you on the spot.
Imagine a world where men get pregnant? Whaaaat?
I'm no science fiction writer man. I might be missing something.
Imagine a world where men and women are all allowed to have the best jobs, and women don't make less than you just because they're women.
Imagine a world where the police are accountable for their actions, and don't beat innocent people up.
Imagine a world where women still get pregnant, but aren't actively shamed for it.
That's what feminism means. It means belief in women, not "lol what if we swap men and women".
I totally agree. This premise seems to based on a wilful misunderstanding of these ideals. I'm just trying to wrap my head around the notion of feminism and PC culture "going too far".
I presume "going too far" means we go over the hump of equality and arrive back at inequality, except the roles are reversed.
And the moral of that story is that inequality is bad. So the story just ends up being a critique of the current status quo.
One of my favorite movies. Charlton Heston is simply amazing at everything he does. If you liked him in this, then you have to watch the Ten Commandments. Also, watch The Omega Man and Soylent Green, great examples of 70's sci-fi cheese.
