Y: The Last Man TV adaptation to affirm TWAW

I took one for the team and watched all of the uploaded episodes. It’s definitely on point with the ideology, so if it’s been cancelled for wrong think that’d be a shame. It does a good job of covering all the gender ideology talking points, though no clownfish (yet). Also manages to crowbar left (Dem) vs right (Rep) politics in with an added dose of religious rudderless, quiverful right wing women in a hurry to get back to the status quo. Based on the episodes so far, I’m rooting for Yorick and Ampersand (cappucin), which must make me a bad feminist, or failing that a mass extinction event. I hope they make it out without having their man plums squeezed dry.

It's alright BettyFilous my mate who is studying astro physics and I will run the power stations nuclear technology isn't that complex 😉...I'll just press this red button 💣💥

On a serious note I was going to get Disney plus to watch this and the final series of the walking dead. Think I won't bother, although at least the walking dead has strong female characters that as they move through the series evolve to become strong and independent.

And as we know, when something is possible in clown fish, molluscs, greenfly, snails etc then it must also be true in humans.

The general storyline was that women were getting pregnant without having sex - sort of like an immaculate conception. And they were giving birth only to daughters.

Greenfly do this (pathnogenesis) in Spring, it is how their numbers explode so quickly.

"The idea is simply that biology does not dictate our social identities. "

Why on earth do you think that feminists would disagree with that, @SillyStrings423?? That's been my radical feminist and anti-gender belief since I was fully aware of feminist thinking as a teenager. Being a woman is simply my biology. Sometimes that's relevant in practical ways in the world. But it tells you nothing about me as an individual personality.

I dunno. 🤷‍♀️ Somewhere else downwind. Yeah, the plot has more holes than Jarlberg.

“cleared the bodies” BettyFilous? Cleared them to where? How? You’re talking 35 million corpses in the UK alone! There’s no graveyard or crem facility big enough. The whole premise is beyond daft.

It doesn’t look rosy Babdoc. Food is already an issue, plus qualified staff to run eg power stations. There are corpses everywhere. In large, occupied buildings they’ve just annexed areas where they haven’t cleared the bodies. A bit like The Road, I don’t think it would hurt to die in the first wave or initial event. Dystopia sucks, even if it means a more diverse range of women’s naked, soapy breasts and bodies make it on to screen.

@Highwind it did indeed

Is it a comedy? Because it sounds incredibly silly. Three and a half billion rotting corpses would cause absolute havoc in terms of disease - how the hell would the survivors dispose of them all? Let alone run all the infrastructure with over half the workforce missing.
And even if the one surviving man was locked up in a sperm bank and forced to spend the rest of his life wanking, the human race would still die out as every other species wouldn’t have that option, so we would be stuck on a sterile planet. Or are they postulating that male bees etc would be unaffected?

Does anyone here remember a spoof documentary style film made in the 70s or 80s I think - I'm sure I watched it on Netflix or Amazon Prime....

The general storyline was that women were getting pregnant without having sex - sort of like an immaculate conception. And they were giving birth only to daughters. No boys were being born. And no one knew why. Men were slowly becoming a rarity as they died out and the film was following the life of the last man who was born.

It was an interesting storyline and very funny as it made fun of women and men. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the film, but I'd highly recommend watching it.
It sounds like this new TV show / comic is sort of based on that original premise.

Well I'm really looking forward to a transwoman turning up on Naked Attraction.
That'll be an interesting watch.

And now for the science stuff. The mad scientist is explaining DSDs. “Infinite variations… Not everyone with a Y chromosome is a man… So many brilliant women.” Over-optimism on Noapple’s part.

I actually think that this series is actually quite good at making young people realise that TW aren’t women and TM aren’t men. Shows that sex, ie chromosomes, are what makes you a woman, not clothes/make up.

Finally! A miscarriage.

So all the men die and the show writers are still incapable of not focusing on 'men' so they focus on a trivial percentage of women desperate to do what? Continue to present as men? Why? And if medical supplies collapse then why focus on testosterone not antibiotics?

I thought this already got cancelled a few days ago?

God forbid we have series (almost) entirely led by and featuring capable women putting a broken world back together.

I thought this already got cancelled a few days ago?

Serious question.. do “Butch” lesbians no longer exist?

I think it’s terrible we just assume a masculine lesbian must be someone identifying as a man. They have been totally erased haven’t they?

If all women died .. that show would be one episode. All men would either commit suicide or kill one another. No second season possible.

A world without men means we could be outside after 6pm without being afraid. It’s a big reach to say the world would be in chaos.

Women are doctors, engineers, architects, carpenters. We would be just fine. I would miss my husband, but would not miss him farting in bed.

I can't be bothered to be annoyed at this, it's so ridiculous. It's a shame because it could be such an interesting premise. There's so much they could have done with it, but nope, they've just gone for a superficial view of what it would look like and tied themselves into knots to build in a pile of pseudoscience. What a waste.

Does anyone know want to make a bet until how long before this is cancelled?

Will it make it one season? Be given a pity second season because?
