Reducing the male population by 90% will solve all our problems

So, will anyone be up for celebrating international castration day? The Femitheist, a 22 year old criminology student has been writing a book where she argues for a new future based upon conscious social controls, sex-selective abortions, development of dual-female progeny, single sex education, the eradication of the nuclear family, containment of the remaining men, and "Perfect girls will be conceived, developed, and engineered in state-owned breeding centres"

"I believe that conventional equality, with a 50/50 female-to-male ratio, is an inferior system. Essentially my ideas lead to men being made a special class – a far more valued class – having choice of a myriad of women due to the difference in sex ratio. That is my intention. Men would be made more valuable, and their quality of life would be dramatically improved. They would have a subsidised existence if you will, akin to going on an all-expenses paid vacation that lasts from birth to death"

This is worse than Plato and his loony republic. But could this really be worse than our current reality? I am just wondering what others think, is this really radical, completely bonkers, rational?

Yes, I am wondering if she is doing the work of the MRAs. The idea are just so utterly bonkers it seems inconceivable that this is legitimate.

This sounds like a prank, more than anything else. It might even be a group prank. It's the sort of thing I could at least concieve of doing, perhaps over a few beers with likeminded pals - the fun being in the number of people who you can induce to either wring their hands in anguish or poo with rage.

nowehud · 29/08/2014 01:10

Let's see if I've understood this correctly- reduce the male population to 10% and then put them all in isolation and make them perform labour without pay. She may say it isn't slavery but IMO it sounds no different from a nazi work camp. It's like the "SCUM manifesto" all over again.

"But don’t men have value beyond breeding?
If technology has not advanced to a point where labour can be done without men"

According to this feminist, men are only useful for manual labour, and any job that requires brains must be done by a female.

"They will live out their lives happily and safely, and male disposability will be a thing of the past."

I don't think the 90% who got castrated against their will would agree.

nowehud · 29/08/2014 01:11

I don't believe it's a prank. The "SCUM manifesto" was written in full seriousness. It's shocking just what brainwashing can do to someone's mind.

TheDeathOfRats · 29/08/2014 01:55

Wow. That's horrifying. How will the 90% be reduced? Sex selective termination, genetic engineering, murder? Hmm Horrible.

CaptChaos · 29/08/2014 09:41

I don't know TheDeathOfRats, the woman that wrote the piece isn't a feminist, she doesn't speak for any feminists I know. There's nothing to worry about, women don't hold the reins of power.

One small point though, sex selective terminations happen all the time, as does sex selective murder. Odd that when it's suggested that that happens to male foetuses/neonates people get far more exercised about it all.....

SolidGoldBrass · 29/08/2014 09:59

There's really no need to be so upset. This has about as much likelihood of being taken properly seriously as all those pieces about how the Moon landings were faked.

CaptChaos · 29/08/2014 10:30

They were real SGB?

Next you're going to tell me that the earth is round and completely destroy my world view. Grin

SolidGoldBrass · 29/08/2014 14:16

I'm so sorry CC. I also have to tell you that Father Christmas is a patriarchal conspiracy to make children grateful to the male Head Of The Household your parents.

CaptChaos · 29/08/2014 14:18

I am distraught.

I must now go and console myself by speaking to the tooth fairy.

WhatWitchcraftIsThis · 30/08/2014 15:04

Brilliant story.

22 year old says something dumb. Feminists spend decades trying to undo damage by someone who has nothing to do with them and who will be mortified herself by the whole thing in 5 years time.

GlacindaTheTroll · 30/08/2014 15:10

"Wow. That's horrifying. How will the 90% be reduced? Sex selective termination, genetic engineering, murder? Horrible."

Maybe she wants a rerun of that enormous cull of young men, WW1? If so, very tasteless timing given the anniversary.

CaptChaos · 30/08/2014 20:54

Take it up with her then.

nasajedaco · 01/09/2014 13:05

If this feminist ever has male children they should be taken away by social services.

BriarRainbowshimmer · 01/09/2014 13:18

Which feminist?

nasajedaco · 01/09/2014 13:32

The one who wants 90% of male humans castrated and for the remaining 10% to be put into captivity to only be used for breeding and manual labour work.

BriarRainbowshimmer · 01/09/2014 13:53

You mean the woman who says that she is NOT a feminist. Read the thread.

PacificDogwood · 01/09/2014 14:11

I agree, she is not a feminist.
I am not sure what she is Hmm, but thankfully not like any feminist I've ever come across.

SolidGoldBrass · 01/09/2014 14:56

If there were reasonably regular occurrences of 'feminists' or individual women going on murderous rampages against men - or indeed regularly killing or violently assaulting men - then this might be considered a moderately dangerous piece of writing. But about the only acts of major violence I can think of committed by women for what they claimed were feminist reasons are the shooting of Andy Warhol by Valerie Solanus, and the murders committed by Aileen Wuornos. Hmm. That's a total of two in about 50 years. So, chaps, no need to panic just yet.

news.sky.com/story/1322626/wife-accessed-abuse-images-to-frame-husband

Here's something recent, I know it isn't about murder but IMO downloading child abuse images from the internet and then trying to frame someone for them is extremely horrific and disturbing.

And why aren't any of the articles on the topic showing a photo of the perp Meri Jane Woods? If the perp was a man his name would be plastered on every news article and TV station in the country.

nasajedaco · 01/09/2014 15:09

"If the perp was a man his name would be plastered on every..."

*his picture I meant.

SolidGoldBrass · 01/09/2014 15:13

Well, that's an unpleasant thing to do, but it's not murder, and the perpetrator got found out and prosecuted, so the victim's reputation is restored.

Two women a week are killed by their male partners or ex-partners. Cases of a man murdering his own children and/or his wife (and sometimes himself) occur pretty frequently, as well.

nasajedaco · 01/09/2014 15:29

"unpleasant" that's your word for downloading images of child abuse (which actually leads to an increased demand for them) and then trying to frame someone else for them? And even in false allegations of sex-related crimes the victims reputation never recovers even if he is proven innocent.

There are plenty of cases of victims of false allegations committing suicide.

And why aren't we seeing a picture of Meri Jane Woods? She was found guilty of a felony count of sexual abuse of children/possession of child pornography and a misdemeanor count of unsworn falsification to law enforcement. If a man was found guilty of that there is no way he would be get the chance to remain faceless.

I want to see what Meri Jane Woods the sex offender, liar and ch*ld-porn downloader looks like.

PetulaGordino · 01/09/2014 16:40

why? what do you want to do with her image?

there's no such thing as child porn - it's all images of child rape

PacificDogwood · 01/09/2014 17:25

What does any of this have to do with the OP? Confused

Actually, I am not in the least confused.
I am calling nasajedaco on a thread derail Hmm
