Science fiction and progress is associated with advancement in the rights and dignity of women. Why is Armitage III, an an*me film, about the only story that wonders whether maybe it could lead to the opposite?A world where women simply get reduced to defective men because tech has replicated, and improved, on every function that was considered distinct for them would be an interesting subversion.
>>24988405Damn it, wrong image. Sorry guys, please ignore.
>>24988405Atomised by Houellebecq does this - sort of. It’s not simply that technology renders women obsolete but rather the entire reproductive apparatus. Sexuality is reduced to base, irrational drives that can never be fully satiated because the erotic domain has been entirely decoupled from procreation. I think any good speculative sci-fi has to address not only the impact on male/female roles and identities, but also the discursive modes (biological, social, cultural, etc.) by we which categorise them as such. If you’re focusing only on one gender then you’re failing to see the wood for the trees.
this will never happen despite your pathetic faggot fantasy
