What do you think the world would be like?

We hear about the "Glass Ceiling" but not about the "Glass Cellar". Not too long ago, there was a news story that there had been a "shocking" increase in the number of workplace fatalities among women- from 7% of total workplace fatalities to 8%. In case you are not good at math, that means the percentage of males killed on the job consistently remained in the range of 92% to 93%. Moreover, the decline in the percentage of males among those killed on the job (to 92%!) was in all probability the result of the "mancession"- the higher rate of unemployment among men due to lay offs in construction and heavy industry.

In a society in which males ceased to exist, there would be (by necessity) female hod carriers, garbage collectors, rat catchers and septic tank cleaners. Women would no longer have an advantage in a disaster like the sinking of the Titanic, where over 75% of the men perished (along with 50% of the children) while 80% of the adult females survived. Women (at least some of them, for society to function) would have to become disposable the same way men have always been expected to. Even if one believes that an all female society would be a Utopia without war or violence (except for that caused by killing off the males, which apparently doesn't count as "violence") women would have to rescue each other from burning buildings, and crawl through muck and rubble to rescue earthquake and flood victims. Most women see equality in terms of having equal or greater political representation than men, or having equal or greater numbers of women in the professions. They don't wonder why with the "feminization of poverty" over 80% of the homeless people are males, or why twice as many men as women lack any health insurance. They certainly don't wonder why there aren't more female garbage collectors. Along with the disappearance of males, women would loose the ability to demand "equality" when convenient and revert to their "traditional" and "protected" status when that is more advantageous. Virtually every society (including highly oppressive ones like the Iran) treats females more protectively and less harshly in a multitude of ways. How could that continue in a society where males no longer exist?

The other part of this film that is improbable is the way the few remaining males are treated. Since this is technically an all female society, one can safely assume that whatever sex there is must be lesbian. As a plot twist there actually are a few males left in this dystopia, and they either survive as fugitives living off the grid at an abandoned football stadium, or in underground brothels servicing the few remaining (and closeted) heterosexual women. This does not make sense. If women were advanced enough to create a society that sustains itself via artificial reproduction, they could surely create a task force to hunt down and kill the remaining males, especially since the organizing principal of their society is that men are evil and dangerous. The part about the underground boy brothels was even more ludicrous. That seems more like a male fantasy than something out of feminist science fiction. Most (heterosexual) women are just not that attracted to men in a purely sexual way- if there were women who wanted sex with men badly enough to pay for it, this would already be a widespread phenomenon in our society (it's not that there aren't men willing to prostitute themselves, it's that the only customers they'll find are other men). Each sex exploits the other, but in different ways. If an all female society allowed any males to exist, they would probably be seen as beasts of burden, or used for medical experimentation like lab rats. And after decades of living in an all female society in which men were endlessly demonized, where would these "heterosexual" women come from? The women in such a society would grow up with the assumption that whatever sex there is would be masturbation or lesbian sex.
