It’s 2050 And Feminism Has Finally Won -The Toast

Home: The Toast

feminismIt’s 2050 and feminism has finally won. Women make up more than 80% of serial killers and serial killer-related entertainment shows. Everyone agrees that Harper Lee wrote In Cold Blood under Truman Capote’s name as a favor before beating Ernest Hemingway in Greco-Roman-style wrestling. Sex is just when two or more women take the mathematics portion of the SAT together and kick a businessman’s teeth in. It’s 2050 and Bob Dylan was never even born.

It’s 2050, and do you know what science is now? The 1996 movie about teen witches, The Craft. It’s the feminist future, and women are the ones who sit with their knees sprawled out on the subway. Men have to sit on the floor, and if a woman tells them to lick the pole, they have to do it, because Kamala Harris is the eternal Goddess-King of America now. It’s 2050 and January Jones keeps the bones of Bill Murray in a golden cage and it’s illegal to watch or quote Caddyshack. This is what feminism is now.

It’s 2050 and Nick Offerman has to wear a bridle and allow any woman who asks to ride him across the Mississippi instead of taking a bridge. This is what happens when the feminists win. No one has ever even heard of Steely Dan.

It’s 2050, and women swagger down the street, many of them ten feet tall, draped in construction vests and catcalling the men who scurry from hiding place to hiding place during the daylight hours. Actual cats fly out of their mouths, along with sexually objectifying remarks. It’s the year 2050 and nursing in public is mandatory. Whenever a woman starts nursing, every man within a quarter-mile is required by law to watch her do it while feeding her melon and calling her a ‘living miracle.’

It’s 2050 and men spend most of their time writing passionate letters and sending money to charismatic female murderers in prison. It’s 2050 and the number one compliment that women give men is “feisty.” It’s 2050 and instead of using fossil fuels, planes and trucks now run on feelings. The entire Supreme Court has been replaced by Tumblr posts by Avatar: The Last Airbender slash fans. Joss Whedon has been exiled to an uninhabited island where he is regularly brought food and supplies but forbidden from creating narratives about ass-kicking blonde women. The entire cast of Entourage are living footstools in Emma Watson’s house. It’s 2050.

It’s the year 2050 and it’s illegal for men to buy protein powder or use the free weights at the gym. They can use the stair-stepper and if they’re very good, the little two-pound dumbbells that are coated in pink plastic, but they can only use them for calf raises. It’s 2050 and feminists have sexualized men’s calves. It’s 2050 and it’s illegal for a man to play a guitar in a public place or to know what time it is. Men have to guess.

It’s 2050 and Werner Herzog is no longer allowed to make documentaries, only provide commentary over reruns of The Golden Girls and Golden Palace. This is where feminism is leading us.

"The entire Supreme Court has been replaced by Tumblr posts by Avatar: The Last Airbender slash fans."

This was brilliant, but this sentence gave me enough incoherent feels to fuel my car for a month. Thanks, Mallory!

Is the island guard cohort provided with tasers, which they are instructed to use in the event that Joss Whedon attempts to exploit the "but this is different; this is a narrative about a kick-ass brunette" loophole?

Also, it seems as if this post is opening the door for an "If Fairuza Balk Were Your Girlfriend" post.
It's 2050 and the national anthem is red krayola's born in flames.
You're damn right I'm feisty! Now please pass the little two-pound pink dumbbells, these calves aren't going to sculpt themselves.
"It’s 2050 and feminists have sexualized men’s calves." I'm already doing my part for a better tomorrow.

I will be dead in 2050 (I am a man, and so will have been trampled under the boots of Supreme Allied Commander The Bachlorette's merciless army), but I need someone to make this happen now, because I NEED IT.

It is 2050 and if a man even opens his mouth to make a joke about toilet seats he receives a moderate electrical shock.

Private places, too, I hope, unless given an explicit waiver from Annie Clark. End the practice of "Hey girl thanks for coming over to my dorm to work on homework oh I see you noticed my Fender anyways here's Wonderwall"

Can I kickstart this as a tv show/webseries? I need to see the future.
1. The president of my alma mater recently sent an email to alumnae in which she described students and graduates as "strong, smart, and feisty women." ?????????

2. Joss Whedon aside, we can still have those narratives, right? Katee Sackhoff should never want for work.

3. Honestly, I can hardly blame men for being reluctant to smash the patriarchy.* I wouldn't want to either.

*but I do anyway

It's the year 2050, and colleges offer "men's literature" courses. If you want to read regular books, by women, you just sign up for "literature" courses.

What a time to be alive!

My misandrist heart grew three sizes today, just because of this post.
"It’s 2050, and women swagger down the street, many of them ten feet tall." I knew Steven Universe was onto something with Garnet.

whoa Garnet

Okay, what's wrong with Werner Herzog? He is for real one of maybe seven men on this entire planet I can countenance and I'm feeling slightly protective of him right now (which he'd love, can you imagine trying to explain to Werner Herzog that you felt protective of him because of a joke in a satirical internet piece? He'd be like, 'None of these words make sense to me. Once more, as so often, language fails us, serving only to emphasise the chasm of understanding between every single individual human being', looking all quizzical and shit.)

Not that my opinion is wanted or matters at all, but I am alright with all this. I'm a good daylight-scurry-er. Sex in 2050 sounds especially hot, businessmen's teeth getting kicked in is my new fetish.

I want to be the keeper of the little pink dumbbells at the gym, assessing whether a man has been Very Good and is entitled to use them. I assume in this utopia, we all rotate into that position periodically in some kind of collective gym labor scheme. But if I have to build up calf-gazing on my resume and develop a portfolio of man-judgements, so be it.

Where is the lie.
How does the skeletal wyvern chariot fit in? I ask because I have a '72 Olds skeletal wyvern chariot that I've been tinkering with for years. It's up on blocks right now, but otherwise in fairly good condition. I was thinking about selling it for parts, but if it's going to become a classic then I might look into restoring it.
This is so magnificent that I feel like no one ever has to write a single thing ever again.
I really like protein powder and free weights. I'll miss them.
I cannot wait 35 years to hear Werner Herzog provide commentary to Golden Girls. I need this NOW.
Well now I'm horribly conflicted, because I don't want to lose non-SAT sex, but I do want to lose Joss Whedon's ass-kicking blonde narratives. (And what I really want is for all movies and television to come with a Werner Herzog voiceover track.)

My mom will sometimes explain her decisions with "I've got a matriarchy to run, you know." She's just doing her part to make this future a reality.
This whole thing is marvelous but "It’s 2050 and it’s illegal for a man to play a guitar in a public place or to know what time it is. Men have to guess" is the part that made me shriek with laughter.

Mallory for president of Earth, 2050.
Women meet regularly in neighborhood social groups to trade helpful hints and tips about serial killing.
Also, there is graffiti that says "Steely Dan is life" in the women's restroom of my local train station. I don't understand how it could've gotten there.

I just read a facebook comment by some douchebag. He posted on an article called "Shit White Feminists Need to Stop Doing", and his complaint was that women need to stop "lumping him in" with rapists. Because it's sexist, and, somehow, also racist. (He is white. Of course he is.)

What I'm saying here is that this was the balm the day required.
noooooo what will we do without Bob Dylan. Serial killers, even female ones, won't seem cool without a crowd of sleazy male beatniks talking about them like they are.
hooooboy did I make some mistakes trying to parse "feeding her melon" on the first try. "Is... do people call babies melons now? Or do they... but how..."

Yet somehow 2050 is also just like The Jetsons. No one can explain this. The Toast is now The Toast-Flavored Food Pill, co-edited by Nicole Spacecliffe and Mallory Jetberg. Women zip around in flying cars and live in giant Modernist saucer-communes on poles high above the ground ("femi-nests") while the men stumble haplessly on eternal pet treadmills. They're not even walking any dogs, they are just men on treadmills.
I was with you until the melon-feeding began. Melons are gross and wrong, and nobody should ever feed them to anybody. I just can't with your vision of the future, because of the melons.
Delta Green was feminist all along
I'm totally fine with this. my calves are finally appreciated and I'll have a nice steady job on a boat every week saying hey to Joss Whedon.

"Come on, take my new screenplay back with you" he says every time.

"Joss," I'll say "You know what happened the last time you convinced me you'd reconciled 2nd and 3rd wave feminism. Just take these 90s alt rock CDs back to the house and I'll see you next Tuesday."

"Yeah...yeah okay" he'll say. And then I'll start the motor back up on my little boat and head back to the mainland.
It's 2050 and few parents send their sons to college anymore - they'll just marry and become stay-at-home husbands, what do they need to go to college for?

It's 2050 and the only meaning MRA has is as a thing cats say when surprised/displeased/both (I assume they're cool with flying out of the überweibs' mouths).

It's 2050 and instead of praying to god, we pray to Rose Nylund. Heaven is St. Olaf and hell is full of Stans.

every word of this is beautiful
Mallory,
I have uneasy feelings on the feminist culture as well. Although, I rarely run into women with such strong views on this subject. Out of curiosity, how do you relate to women your age? Is it hard to have these views while being in a culture that creates a fad out of anything new and daring?
