Lady Land/Playing With: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

** The men live separately from the women, and young boys are sent to live with their fathers/uncles/brothers as soon as they can eat solid food.

* '''Justified''': Ladyland is a religious nation, built upon the worship of a [[Straw Feminist]] fertility goddess and her ideals.

** Alternatively, Ladyland originated as a refuge for women from a [[He Man Woman Hater]] / [[Straw Misogynist]] society.

** Alternatively, Ladyland originated as a refuge for women from a [[He-Man Woman Hater]] / [[Straw Misogynist]] society.

** Their menfolk were nearly driven to extinction by a plague or war, and are only allowed out of their enclaves for mating.

** It's a colony world inhabited by female separatists who have either switched over to laboratory reproduction or have altered their biology to allow parthenogenic reproduction. Males are viewed as foreign and are not trusted.

Line 15:

* '''Parodied''': The residents of Ladyland regularly hunt down and rape and/or kill men for no reason.

** The residents of Ladyland still fear the possibility of catching cooties from their male counterparts, just as grade-school children do.

** A traveller asks "How do you sustain a population with no men?" and states that they have been "proudly Man-Free for [[~~One Hundred and Eight|~~108]] generations" and have laws against importing sperm samples (because "semen is poison") and cloning, as it removes carrying the child from reproduction. Genetic engineering is a no-go either, as it's supposed to be "Antithesis to the randomization of nature" (or genetic manipulation of any sort, outside of being exposed to mutagens while pregnant, doesn't exist). The border guard [[Logic Bomb|gets a surprised look]], [[Your Head Asplode|her head explodes]], and the entire country disappears in a [[Puff of Logic]].

* '''Deconstructed''': Ladyland was started by a bunch of [[Straw Feminist|straw feminists]] who were disgruntled with society and/or how women had been treated in the past. Their [[Not So Different|short-sighted bigotry]], however, doesn't exactly make even men who might've sympathized them feel at home, and the mass exodus results in a [[Brain Drain]] that hampers the economy.

* '''Reconstructed''': The residents of Ladyland learn that men are a great asset to their society, and have much more to contribute than just sperm. The society is reformed, and becomes a more egalitarian society, where men and women are both seen as equally valuable and competent, and given the same rights and responsibilities.
