The Sci-Fi Future Is Female!

Good news, ladies! Our brave new technocratic world will be empathic, affirming, and safe!

A Future-Is-Female Girlboss! Men? MEN?! She don’t need no stinking MEN!!!

“Maybe women should design our sci-fi future?” wondersElle Griffin in her latest post.1 She’s not too keen on the futuristic visions the men have been peddling: people zipping around the galaxy in their sporty spaceships, accompanied by their talking robot assistants as they explore distant planets for signs of life. Such a future seems cold and bleak and scary. What if — now hear me out guys — what if all these toxic men would just move aside and let the sassy, future-is-female girl bosses2 take charge?

Well, I have good news for Ms. Griffin, and for anyone else depressed at the prospect of a patriarchal future: the girl bosses have already won! The feminine sci-fi future is already here! Just look around! Just look at Disney and all the great things Kathleen Kennedy and all her “Force Is Female” girl bosses have been able to do with the Star Wars franchise! That’s the kind of magic you get when you mix sci-fi with girl power!

If you want to know what the feminized future will look like, just imagine another century of progress along the same trajectory we’ve been careening down for the past decade! There will be a global HR Department, which will oversee your reeducation whenever you say anything that hurts anyone’s feelings (unless the person you offend has a lower ranking than you in the victimhood status hierarchy).

“Safety first!” will be the categorical imperative. Want to build something? Have you taken every precaution, reasonable and unreasonable, to ensure that no child will ever stub her toe or get a boo boo using whatever you built? No? Sorry, no building permit for you!

Empathy will be the highest virtue. Want to enforce borders and boundaries? Think you should be able to have exclusionary things like standards? Sorry! We can’t have anyone feel excluded (unless they are at the bottom of the victimhood status hierarchy — i.e., a toxic cis-male hetero-normative white oppressor), so you will have to open up your borders and remove all your boundaries! We’ll replace all the police with social workers, so if anyone less privileged than you tries to take your stuff and you try to call the cops, they’ll send a social worker out to your home to talk to you about what hidden pathologies you have that cause you to want to oppress people by enforcing boundaries!

Affirmation will be the glue that holds society together — of course, such affirmation will be doled out according to your victimhood hierarchy ranking, so if you’re a retarded black trans-female lesbian (like Ibram X Kendi), you will be affirmed, no matter what you say or do!

And imagine how much more we’ll be able to affirm everyone in the future! We’ll be able to perform bottom surgeries on babies in the womb! Heck! We won’t even need wombs anymore! The empowered females of the future will be too busy girl bossing to take time out for maternity leave! We’ll have factory-produced babies who will come with manufacturers’ warranties! Just return your kid if he ever turns out to be defective, and get a brand new one!

And we won’t be limited to gender reassignment surgeries! We’ll be able to do species reassignment surgeries! Your two-year-old just realized that he’s actually a pink female unicorn? Well, her wish will be the healthcare system’s command! She’ll even have a real horn that will grow out of the middle of her forehead!

So I agree with Ms. Griffin: the future men envision in their dreary sci-fi novels is too depressing.3 If there’s one thing we haven’t gotten enough of these past few years, it’s girl power. Thank God (she/her/hers) that the future is female!

She is legally correct if conception occurred during marriage.

HeadSet says

She is legally correct if conception occurred during marriage.

Or if the man didn't contest the birth certificate if they aren't married. Many states have a very limited timeframe, and women can name the father legally on the cert without a pat test.

How would a man know if a woman put his name on the birth certificate?

Gets whacked up by the state or the chick for money.

And that leads to another problem: By the time the guy finds out, which may take months, in many states he's past the timeline to contest.

A lot of surveys about paternity testing applies only to the mother or the child, with other limits for the accused father that are almost always less generous and more strict.

This is very easy if you are with the woman during birth and recovery, when they come in for you to sign the cert. That happened with me, after they asked "Who are you?" I supposed they were surprised to see a while man. Fuckers.

As far as pump and dump baby mama's - you leave them alone, and they'll sign you up no problem.

The psychic breakdown of the young Western female has been the defining political phenomenon of the twenty-first century. Women are suffering from depression, anxiety, neurosis, and dysphoria as never before, they’re drugged to the gills to deal with it, and they’ve got the SSREyes to prove it.

This isn’t only a problem for young women. Their suffering is everyone’s suffering. The romantic paranoia engendered by MeToo, a mass hysteria that has grown directly out of this plague of neurosis, has destroyed courtship among the young. As a result a shocking fraction of young men are virgin incels, while their femcel counterparts are contemplating a future where 45% of them will be childless. Driven by their neglected ovaries to latch on to surrogate children in the form of migrants and minorities, and entering into lesbian civil unions with the Mammy State, childless women overwhelmingly vote left – as always, the party of the psychically distressed thrives to whatever degree it cultivates psychic distress. The political derangement is downstream of their emotional derangement, and the two feed on one another in a vicious spiral of crazed minds pushing crazed policies that craze minds yet further, a cycle that threatens to break civilization, either gradually through steady demographic deflation and spiritual demoralization, or perhaps – if the young men alienated by a society that has ruined their women cease stupefying themselves with porn, and cohere as an army – more catastrophically.

There’s no real mystery as to why this has happened.

Jonathan Haidt has demonstrated at length and in extraordinary empirical detail that the rise in emotional disturbance among young women correlates precisely with the introduction of the smart phone, and the mass migration of social lives onto social media that immediately followed. The slot machine engineers of Silicon Valley trapped the world’s young women in a Skinner box by hacking their instinctive sexual competition strategies. Suddenly every young girl in the world was measuring herself against every other young woman, all viewing one another through the distorting filters of flattering camera angles, ruthlessly curated digital photographs, makeup, plastic surgery, and AI filters that smoothed wrinkles, removed blemishes, and reduced unwelcome poundage. On the Internet no girl is ever the prettiest girl in the room, or even the second or third prettiest. Meanwhile they’re flooded with a relentless barrage of that most intoxicating of drugs: male attention.

Of course they went mad.

They’re all wandering around in a state of selfie-shock. ...

So what do?

It seems unlikely that there are technological solutions to this problem created by the intersection of technology and sexual psychology. In fact, we’ve tried that. The mountains of psychoactive pharmaceuticals swallowed by Western women are that attempt at a technological fix. It hasn’t worked. ...

What’s needed is a cultural solution – one that can be implemented from the bottom up, without building an intrusive and expensive regulatory body, without relying on the good will of social media companies, without further damaging the neurobiology of young women, and one which directly addresses the problem at its psychosexual root.

The answer is actually pretty obvious.

This doesn’t mean banning women from the Internet.

All it means is this:

Men may show their faces on the Internet; women may not.

That’s it.

No more selfies. No more Instagram filters. No more profile pics mooning up into the camera. No more baking videos in low-cut halter tops. None of it. Keep your faces hidden behind a digital veil, such that men have no idea what you look like, women have no idea what you look like, and most importantly, you have no idea what other women look like. ...

That might seem extreme, but it would solve a lot of problems.

At a stroke, women would be relieved from the pressure of comparing their looks to an entire planet full of other women. They could continue to participate in the global information commons, but without the immense psychic pressure of millions of preternaturally pretty girls pressing down on their egos like ice pics on their temples. ...

Open source, community slut shaming would almost certainly suffice to enact this cultural shift. It works like this: if a girl shows her face on social media, it is be assumed that she’s doing so in order to thirst-farm; her mentions then fill up with people pointing this out; soon enough, she stops. Most women want attention, but they also want the plausible deniability of being able to pretend they aren’t trying to get attention. Take that deniability away by forcing the motivation to the forefront of everyone’s attention, and they’ll stop.

Ideally, it would primarily be other women enforcing this new social norm. There’s nothing stopping men from joining in on the cyberbullying, of course, but men are far too thirsty for this to be reliable. There would be too many defectors. Women suffer from no such temperamental weakness.

You know, that's a good idea. First attempt:

but men are far too thirsty for this to be reliable.

Just look at the Sexy picture thread.

6 female teachers what area? :) some of them look descent, why not get regular man, there are so many young men available.

Slate advice columnist goes full Defcon 1 over mother whose teenage daughter wants to be a housewife and stay-at-home mom. ...

It's a dystopian future in which men go to work each day while women stay home and manage the household and take care of the children.

Otherwise known as "the ‘50s."

Say what you will, but it was the ultimate division of labor.
