In the 1976 movie, Logan's Run, Jessica (Jenny Agutter) and Logan (Michael York) have escaped their hermetically -sealed shopping mall and are exploring the ruins outside. They come upon a graveyard, and notice the writing on the tombstones of those who passed on.
Jessica: They've all got names and numbers on them.
Logan: I wonder what they are?
Jessica: "Beloved husband." "Beloved wife."
Logan: I wonder what it means.
A future citizen will inevitably comb through our civilization's artifacts, and wonder the exact same thing.
You cannot go even one day without another story about gender. Such as, the University of Minnesota will no longer promote references to the Homecoming King and Queen. From now on, those selected will be known as "Royals."
This is at once sickening and fantastic. It's nauseating because these are no small victories for the left. It is natural human progress to them, and anyone who opposes this is a reactionary.
The only possible silver lining is that the majority of students don't like it. If they come to understand the underlying reason for promoting "inclusion," they would turn away from the left and look toward liberty and accountability. At least a college student still has subversive impulses, so when the dominant culture tells them to submit, maybe, just maybe, they won't.
How did we get here? This erasure of polarity of the sexes is due to this reverence for consumerism and ascendant feminism. When I see an image like Time magazine's cover, I see erasure of differences. Whatever secondary sexual characteristics this person possesses have been airbrushed away.
It's like when progressives talk about race. They see white identity as a problem that makes other people uncomfortable, so they favor babies that come out looking like mocha lattes. This individual on the cover of Time is a sexual mocha latte.
This is both a product of and a key input for consumerism. What kind of endocrine disruptors did his/her mother consume that feminized him/her? Perhaps the BPA packaging on a convenience food like a gluten-free pasta.
And whatever hopes he/she has for becoming a parent, are set aside in the interest of making him/her a faithful consumer.
