If she works at Google, she’s fired!
True dat.
Hell on earth.
Hell on earth.
It would be interesting to get her take on School of Darkness, an autobiography which in part dwells on experiences with such a queen bee at the college she attended that used her influence to create more communist.
E. E. Smith, in the “Lensman” series of science-fiction novels, got the female-dominated planet perfectly. It wasn’t pretty.

The story portrays a crew of three male astronauts launched in the near future on a circumsolar mission in the spaceship Sunbird. A large solar flare damages their craft and leaves them drifting and lost in space. They make repeated attempts to contact NASA in Houston, to no avail. Soon, however, they begin to pick up strange radio communications.
They are puzzled that almost all of the voices are female, usually with a strong Australian accent. They overhear conversations about personal matters (including the birth of a cow) as well as unknown slang terms. Various theories are discussed by the perplexed astronauts: hallucinations? A hoax? A hostile power trying to trick them? They record and play back the conversations over and over, trying to figure out what is going on. Soon, they realize that these unknown people are aware of them and are offering to help.
At first, the Sunbird's commander refuses to communicate with them, suspicious of their motives. As they continue to plead with the astronauts to accept their rescue offer, the men are chilled to hear their mission referred to in historical terms. They come to realize that they were not only thrown off-course in space, but in time as well, and that their flight was lost centuries ago. They are given bare details of the current Earth: an undefined cataclysm has reduced the human population to a mere few million. Eventually, the Sunbird agrees to rendezvous with the spaceship Gloria to allow the astronauts to spacewalk to safety.
The Gloria is an enigma to them. Besides having an almost all-female crew, the ship is haphazard and cluttered with plants and animals on board. The technology used on the ship does not appear to them to be as advanced as they would have thought the world to be after such a long passage of time, and they think it odd that some of the ship's functions are powered by stationary bikes. Their culture shock is compounded by the cryptic and incomplete answers they are given concerning the Earth.
Little by little, the three gather clues from both observations and slips of the tongue. While crew members often refer to their "sisters," there is no mention of husbands, boyfriends, or families. There are twins on board (both named Judy), yet one seems older than the other. The one male, a teen named Andy, seems strangely feminine. Technology, and science and culture in general, seems to be relatively unadvanced considering the centuries that passed.
Eventually, they learn the truth. A plague wiped out most human life, including all males. Only about 11,000 women survived, mostly concentrated in Australasia and a few other areas. Until recently, they reproduced only by cloning, so most women are clones of the original 11,000 genotypes. Babies are raised communally in crèches, and all members of each genotype are encouraged to add their story to a book that is passed on for the inspiration and education of future "sisters." Certain genotypes are given early androgen treatments (hence, Andy, who the astronauts thought was male) to increase bulk and strength for physical tasks. The resulting communal male-free society has settled into a peaceful pattern — without major conflict and seemingly happy.
The Sunbird's crew react to these revelations in different ways. The commander considers this to be a great tragedy, and believes he was chosen by God to subjugate the women to their intended roles and lead them back to the true path with men as leaders of society and family. Another eagerly anticipates the prospect of millions of women who have not known a man's touch, believing that the women are all sexually unfulfilled without a man, and he engages in violent sexual fantasies of domination.
The third crew member — the narrator — differs from the other two in that he is an intellectual man without much physical development — the other two men look down upon him for his nerdy qualities, and he thinks back to all of the abuse and bullying he has been the victim of over the years by men like them. He realizes that their feelings of superiority and importance are blinding them to what is really going on: he and his crewmates have been given a mind-altering drug — it disinhibits them and causes them to show their "true selves" and voice their thoughts. He realizes that the traits they have exhibited of violence and domination are unacceptable in the new world of women, and they are all going to be killed, even himself. He tries to explain to them that though he expressed sexual thoughts in aggressive, violent words, he would never act on such thoughts. The women explain that they do not even have such thoughts. They are content to live in a world of women, and they don't want for leadership or sexual fulfillment without men. Their study of these three astronauts has shown that allowing men on Earth will pose unacceptable risks, so they are now merely studying the men and obtaining useful information and (in the case of the over-amorous astronaut) sperm samples, presumably to introduce fresh genetic material and create new genotypes.
There was an “all woman” planet in one of David Drake’s “Hammers Slammers” books ... also a hot mess.
That behavior is prevalent in SJW life because most of the SJWs are female, plus a few ruffians who like breaking up property and/or want to get the females into bed.
Phillip Wylie wrote a book sometime in the 60’s (I think) called the “Disappearance” that examined what society might look like with the disappearance of all females What was really interesting was -— spoiler alert -— from the female pov, it was the disappearance of all the males. Well worth finding a copy.
Of course we’re also talking the 50’s and 60’s attitudes of male/female relationships.
Makes me think of the movie Heathers.
Thank you. I figured this out for myself as a pre-ministry adolescent, but still, thank you.
Look at violent stage mothers to see how a female protects her children. Extrapolate that ferocious, unreasoning protectiveness onto a high-dominance and highly-placed woman. (Hillary Clinton?)
The term “catty” has long existed for a reason. Like felines, female humans are often more devious and dangerous than males.
I believe in Original Sin, and do not delude myself that women are as corrupt and corruptible as men.
Correction: ... are NOT as corrupt...
not even close...
but females on FR rarely if ever....not one that I've ever read...posted whole threads bashing men....not one...in all my yrs on FR...two decades....
yet certain posters seem to get their homosexual anti female kicks by bringing such insults here where probably at least 50% of the posters and contributors are female.
okay, I'll say it...women are not perfect....men are not perfect either.....
My wife has said any number of times she never liked working for female bosses - they could be petty, nasty, haughty and standoffish - women trying to get along with other women is not a recipe for a peaceful society.......
“more devious and dangerous”
This is true. The average man is much more straightforward when he wants to do damage, than the average woman is.
I played with male and female strays when I was young.
