Google it, seems to have blown up recently, they got shirts for it and everything. Basically they're just going all out and saying men have become expendable, or will be very soon, an outlandish claim at best. I even saw this one tweet where this chick tweeted at Elon Musk that women would have to rebuild on Mars (Elon Musk is this modern-day genius who's working on electric cars and reusable space shuttles and plans to colonize Mars in the next century) after men destroyed each other and the Earth itself. What is your opinion on this laughable new trend?

Yeah. Those contrived hashtags.
Real game changers...

[Surreyman]

The more untenable their position becomes, the more hysterical they become.

[TheMadGreek]

Women building a civilization on Mars, what a joke.
How about we send them eager feminists to the methane clouds of Venus...
To me Hashtag trends are just collective mental masturbation.

[WhatTheFuck]

Curiosity got the best of me. It was about as expected, basically just hundreds of posts like this:



You go girl!

[chicane]

I rather like what The Private Man has to say about women and civilization "It's men who keep the shit in the toilets, not women"

Men created and continue to maintain the infrastructure of civilization. Why do we do it? For women.

[spokepoker]

It's for our families, not women. Want you kids fed? Kill an animal, build a farm. Want them to not die in the cold? Build a roofed structure, build a fire. Want to not be killed by the next tribe over? Build a fortified community, kill them first, take their shit to strengthen yours.

Shes going to be spending a lot of money, and wasting a lot of her time......

[Conscious Pirate]

^ that's fine. As long as it is HER money

It's like shooting idiots in a barrel.

[Frank Rook]

I wouldn't worry too much. They're just doubling down on force feeding the masses a narrative that's becoming increasingly indigestible.

There exist real problems in the world requiring complex workable solutions. Womenfolk in the civilized world have already acquired the equality they wanted & more. We are indeed very relevant as men. Strength & dominance wasn't something we felt entitled to. No 'gimme dat' demands of Nature, ma'am. Miss Nature had to be tamed & gamed.

If these types intend to feast on the comfort food of persistent denial & irrationality, then we'll just have to let them be.
Scribbling inane hashtags & changing fonts on male created software & male built servers & network systems. Collective dopamine induced satisfaction ensuing from sticking it to the Man. Si, another thrust to the carotid artery of the dying Patriarchy eh, mujer? The irony.
I find myself indifferent to all this now. More amused.

We have yet to see one of these empowered types stand up & lead the charge to stop an attacker on a train (ala the heroic US Marines on that French train).
Theranos turned out to be a long drawn out cock tease that went nowhere.
Colonization of Mars? Put down the Mars bars first honeys, & colonize your improperly calibrated nutrition levels that are turning you into unhappy validation seeking alpha Trigglypuffs.
Thankfully I'm still encountering younger sweeter more attractive women who don't buy into this man bashing nonsense. The wheel has to keep turning. Look East.

Just give this hashtag the mockery & indifference it deserves.

[Only One Man]

I've said it multiple times before but it bears repeating. Feminism will cease to exist the day the power goes out and doesn't come back on.

[Mike5055]

I searched the tag... some fatty is seeing Ghostbusters and is holding a huge soda and popcorn...

The future won't be female... it would be some amorphous blob of fat and hair.

[Excelsior]

Absurd hashtag, as per usual. Decided to take a look at some of the folks who'd dare promote such blatantly nonsensical, anti-male foolery. Found about what I expected.

[Only One Man]

^^^ I'm sure she's only fat because she has a glandular issue. Probably a nice big green tea and large kalespinach salad she's holding.

A casual glance round the world shows where feminism from the days of the upper middle class/ aristocratic suffragettes is most prevalent.

Post-modern, post-industrial Western financial-democracies tend to produce the most comfortable and spoiled women who are the greatest consumers in history but have a moribund fertility rate even before we consider the numbers of first born they throw into the abortionist's flames or Pepsi Cola.

Within these countries, nations which have not been conquered by a rival culture tend to be more feminist: North America, UK, Sweden in comparison to southern and eastern Europe which fell to Islam for so long. The humanist puritanism tends also to come from former Protestant countries - more so than Roman Catholic or Byzantine Orthodox countries.

Drilling down even more, feminism germinates in the comfortable confines of academia where women live off student debt or daddy's trust fund and also in the TV media which leverages feminism more than it deserves i.e. places where money comes easily.

[TheMadGreek]

Mars? Let's not get carried away...

I'd just like to see 1 domestic civilisation built & maintained by women.

It's easy to dream.

It's a lesbian-separatist motto dating from at least the early 1970s. The t-shirts were part of a fundraising campaign for Labris Books (a "Labris" is the name of that double-headed battle-ax symbol that lesbians often wear--some say it's a symbol for castrating men...)

http://seesaw.typepad.com/dykeaquarterly...is-female/

Sally Miller Gearhart used the slogan for an article, and a book, both entitled "The future--if there is one--is female". In it she proposed reducing the world's proportion of male humans to 10% of the total population. In the article (I've never read the book), she drops a blunt hint that male infanticide would be one way to achieve the goal right away. At some point I believe she started advocating research into using egg fusion to create embryos with two moms and no dads.

Sally Miller Gearhart is the author of a lesbian-separatist fantasy novel titled "The Wanderground". You'll need a strong stomach if you're curious.

I don't think she was the only one advocating male culling...Mary Daly and Germaine Greer have also dropped hints, and I'm pretty sure that it's commonly discussed on underground feminist forums.

Expressed in less inflammatory language and pseudo-science, it made it's way into the mainstream media in a series of articles about male economic and biological obsolescence. There was a flurry of them, some of them claiming that the Y chromosome was about to fail and men were imminently about to go extinct.

I've said it a little bit differently, but your wording is more concise.

Feminism is a product of a society with a lot of free time on its hands. Detonate an EMP device 200 miles over Kansas City or Earth gets hammered by a super solar flare and billions of women with no access to the Internet suddenly find themselves suicidal and screaming for a man.

Just reading the Wikipedia plot synopsis made me both laugh and a little sick at the same time. SPOILER ALERT!:

The Wanderground is set in the United States, in the future, although no date is given. The stories focus on the hill women, a group of women who have fled from the men-ruled cities to the wilderness, where they live in all-women communities in harmony with each other and the natural world. The hill women have psychic powers that they use to communicate with each other and with animals, and to move through the world. The main narrative that weaves throughout almost all of the stories, is caused by some kind of shift in the cosmic balance between the hill women and the cities. Rumors are whispered, things are getting worse for women in the cities. As the stories build on each other, subtle remarks are made about how things are getting worse, the cities are becoming even more controlling, it is more dangerous for the women underground, men are appearing outside of the cities, even to the point of rapes occurring in the borderlands. Something is changing. The tension finally comes to the foreground when the gentles (gay men, who have the greatest respect for all women, especially the hill women) request a meeting with the hill women. The message is smuggled out of the city, and a great discussion begins. Even though the gentles are considered to be allies of the hill women, they are still men, and this mixed status of ally and enemy causes a great debate.

Jesus, was she 13 when she wrote that? Sounds ridiculous and awful.

Look at these 'survivor' programs, where groups of men and women are put on an easy, sanitised island with little to no risk: the women do sweet FA, the men do everything. And these women think they'll colonise Mars? Trolololololol.gif. What would happen in this situation is that the good looking women would trade their looks for the highest status men they could get to secure a good standard of living, shopping, etc. The fuglies would live in the forest surviving on cat milk for a few weeks before they came back to the cities like sulking children who ran away from home.

When I saw this thread title all I could think of is in Back to the Future when Marty McFly looks at the photo and sees the people fading away as he fucks things up.

If the future is female, it will resemble the past...like 100,000 years ago past.

It's misogyny for a man to consider only pretty, slender women with friendly personalities as potential dating partners. It's misogyny for a man to critique anything a woman does, even if it's constructive or encouraging criticism.

It's ok for a woman to announce in public all men to be worthless. It's ok for a woman to say that most men ought to be killed off. It's ok to say that there needs to be an end to biological maleness.

And their idiot, illogical heads wonder why they have opposition. Amusing.

That is a bowdlerized (sanitized for public consumption) version of her treatment of gay men, which is pornographically sadistic.

She has a similar nasty treatment of "city women" (heterosexual, conventionally-gendered).
