How is a the slogan on a T-Shirt "The future is female" supposed to be better then the "patriarchal" system which is misogynistic? Excluding a group (half?) the population for your vision of the future does not seem constructive at all.
- stagger87 9y agoIt's just a t-shirt.
- kristofferR 9y agoHow is that a good argument? The swastika is just a symbol.
- chroem- 9y agoIt also fits some of the more vague definitions of hate speech.
- kennywinker 9y agoLike which one? Is my "I (heart) NY" shirt xenophobic as well?
- chroem- 9y agoThe one that also says it's bad taste to make a "the future is male" or "the future is white" shirt.

- kennywinker 9y agoBad taste does not equal hate speech
- chroem- 9y agoIf you saw a "the future is male" shirt, what would your first impression be?
- kennywinker 9y ago"that guy doesn't listen to, or maybe listens but doesn't believe, women when they speak about their lived experience of oppression in our society."
- kennywinker 9y agoI choose to read it as "the future is more female than the past, which was predominantly male". If you choose to read it as "the future is only female" you can do that, but I'm fairly certain that's not how it's meant to be read. To me inserting the "only" into the phrase is a lot like reading "black lives matter" as "only black lives matter". Sure the original slogan's phrasing is ambiguous, but it's a slogan and slogans are by necessity simplified.
- kelvin0 9y agoWell glad you could read between the lines for me. Because I sure don't get the impression this is meant to be 'let us work together for a better future were everyone is maximizing their potential as human beings' kinda slogan ...
- kennywinker 9y agoWhat part of it makes you uncomfortable?
- ruleabidinguser 9y agoThe future is female, NOT male
- kennywinker 9y agoWhat would be wrong with a female dominated world? Are women treated badly in a male dominated world or something?
- ruleabidinguser 9y agoIt's an anti male statement

- virmundi 9y agoWe live in an age of identity politics. It will be interesting to see the society that forms when the sexes and the races hate each other. I assume that science will thrive. Soon heterosexual men might choose to pay for a child via in vitro productions rather than couple with a female out of sheer distrust. We've already seen children from three parents. Perhaps we can use eggs from another species to make our new hate born children. I literally pray for better.
