For those who aren't familiar with it, FX recently announced a new direct-to-streaming series on Hulu, titled "Y: The Last Man". It's based on the 2000s-era Brian K. Vaughan-written Vertigo comic book of the same name, where an incident occurs that kills every mammal with a Y-chromosome on the planet - except for one dude named Yorick Brown, and his pet male capuchin monkey. With half the population instantly dead, you can imagine that chaos ensues, especially when you factor in that a good majority of infrastructure support jobs are handled by - you guessed it - men. (And that's not even taking into account the death of uncountable species across the world as they will no longer be able to procreate, the destruction of food supply, etc).
You can see the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EEQ5Lj-cXM
Obviously this series was written back before the huge push for inclusivity started, so its comic book iteration is not as horribly woke as it could be, but I'm just waiting for the shoe to drop on the TV version. Obviously, nature and genetics don't give two shits about your fee-fees and what you identify as, so that means if they go the full nine yards on this they're either going to have to:
-
Ignore the existence of trans people entirely,
-
Break the narrative and have it do something stupid like leave M-to-F trans alive but sterilize them,
-
Downplay the whole event by claiming it killed "trans-women" as well, or
-
Accept that M-to-F transgendered people genetically aren't women and lean into it and just show them as dead as well.
Somehow I think it's probably going to be option 2 or 3, but if it catches traction then the amount of salt this show is going to generate could season the world's popcorn for decades to come.
I saw that trailer, I was laughing so hard. Feminist porn that is.
If that actually happened the world would fall apart and would never recover. Even if there was simple tech for women to self reproduce and make new baby girls to populate society quickly and easily, a society made up completely of women will always fail.
The world was built by men and runs because of men. These women with high powered administrator jobs at corporate offices literally do nothing related to making the world operate. These positions are resource consumption only. They do not produce resources, they consume.
If Citibank or Google or whatever else company could all instantly disappear today, along with every Boss Babes career with it, nothing would impact humanity’a ability to survive. Yes the economy would take a deep hit, probably many would die for many years as we adjusted to a sudden loss of 50% of the work force. But humanity would still live. We would still have men doing the labor intensive jobs women predominantly cannot do. And even the exceptions that do, overwhelmingly perform less or have different standards. They could not produce the output equal to men necessary to propagate humanity.
But on the flip side, if all of the labor jobs performed by men disappeared, humanity would cease to exist. Even if the jobs were there, but the men weren’t, women could struggle bus it along for a while as the minute percentage of women in these fields try and teach the rest how to do things. But not enough could or would want to learn. And those that did couldn’t do enough.
Seriously. A society run entirely on emotions/feelings with logic, reason and rationality being nonexistent, could NEVER function.
