This'll be great when Hillary becomes president. Do we all get kicky boots or only the man-dependent rebels?

I am so torn between my fetishized attraction to the hot, dominant overlords and my knowledge that our unauthorized heterosex would be never come to pass.

Oh dear lord, may 1992 never come, so that I never have to either risk death or be eternally frustrated by such temptations!

I wonder if there were government-issued vibrators in 1992.

@Pinkosaurus: Oh I think kicky boots for everyone. Plus machine guns!

I own this book, and once performed an excerpt from it as a puppet show at a party. Pieces of toast on popsicle sticks played all the roles.

@DorothyZbornak: Yes, but they had one speed and didn't work very well. There were rumors about the ones you could get underground... but I've said too much.

@Annalee: well, not to everyone.

@Pinkosaurus: Well, the boots the rebels get have slight heel, and they also get to wear saucy berets, but the government drones will have crisp, snappy uniforms.

WHY HELLO THAR new desktop background!

I need, need, NEED this as a T-shirt!

Wait....wasn't taking a woman already a crime? Or is that some new "future" 1992 foolishness?

@JessicaLovejoy: srsly!!!

..."Male Pig!", "Halt". Ohhhh, I can't wait to use this line later tonight. Should I wear the tie and trench coat? Where do I get the government-issued vibrators and do they come in camo or just grey?

OMG, is it so wrong that I kind of want to live in a world like this?

It is?

OK, let's just keep it between us then.

I need a copy of this book. But you haven't read "Feminica", have you??? It makes your 2070s io9 utilities sensible!

The accusatory shrew on the cover is fantastic! She has equal rights and now she will kill you.

Does this mean that there is unlimited, unrestricted "homosex"?

And this is FICTION how?

That's it, I just female ejaculated on my keyboard. Which manbitch of the future is going to clean this for me? (Also: I'm in geek love with ALL OF YOU now. Can we get together and uh, look at books together?)

@moncapitaine: That's what I'm hoping.

I for one welcome our dominatrix overladies...

"struggling to free her rifle from her garments"
ah well...ruling the world but still slaves to fashion...

Angela - "You maen we can have The Sex?...without permission?"
Keith - "Yes, Angela...yes we can."

@GinaRomantica: LOLOLOLOL. Seriously, that is so brilliant that I think you should recreate it, videotape it and load it on Youtube.

Do strap-ons play a major part in the plot? Because, if so, I may have seen several movie adaptations of this already, albeit under very, very different titles.

Lynn (and Annalee and the rest of the io9 crew)... a word of warning:

Gizmodo is all about CES this week which means endless drivel about HDTV specs and laptops, so some of us male Gizmodo commenters are over here. Believe it or not, endless posts about Linksys routers are not interesting - not even to Linux geeks like us.

We're somewhat puerile and have a tendency to make jokes about each others' parents and our own private parts, so expect immaturity - especially with stuff like this.

Also, Macworld is coming up - so there will be further spillage as some of us Giz regulars seek shelter from the fanboy storm. Sorry about the male invasion.

@omg-ponies:
yup. no need for such a forward, premptive apology - "i just female ejaculated on my keyboard" is only a half dozen comments up from here, and this is NOT jezebel.

@omg-ponies: Moreover, I'm not sure some of us are ever leaving.

@omg-ponies: No worries. I have my puerile moments too.

I eagerly await volume 2 - Less Talking, More Rocking.

@omg-ponies: This is a site for people of every gender, so feel free to hang out! We even let in the seven-gendered people of Gargleflex.

@Annalee: They're here. Damned dirty septosexuals.

@ lperil: Yes, but when we do it, it's called being puellile.

@elizabethm: Oooh, I will! Thanks for the boost!

@ElinorGee: Well, color me pink.

I presume this author is male? I am sure I saw a Polish film like this once, can't remember the title. I really hope this was written by a man. However, if it was by a woman it throws up loads of weirdness.

I don't know what I love more, reading this awesome account by Lynn or the multitudinous awesome milk-snortingly snarky comments by her adoring readers!

@lperil: @omg-ponies: Puerile is fine. As long as you're clever.

(translation: Dance for us, Gizmodo monkeys, DANCE!)

@moncapitane: It's not that it's allowed. The homosex is mandatory. I mean, WOMdatory.

@JennaW: Careful. Sure, we're dancing monkeys, but we also fling poo.

@omg-ponies: ...clever poo?

@JennaW: Not since I finished that course of antibiotics.

"...struggling to free her rifle from her garments. "

Even though she's a feminist, the police officer still doesn't have the good sense of a male to wear sensible clothes instead of fashionable ones while at work.

@ViperPilot: Well, wouldn't you want to look hot for your sexy, sexy overladies?

The uniformed she-wolf points accusingly, condemning the dreaded heterosexual crime... Was the government issue vibrator not enough? Do you think that you are better than us? That you could get away with it? Her merciless steely gaze asks. Why else would your rebel faction wear kinky boots into combat if not to encourage the evil man-arousal? Bonus points to whoever wrote "Far out!" on the cover. Far out indeed.

@nha:
I knew immediately what the movie you were searching for was :)
I remember seeing it as a kid and finding it strangely .....tittilating.
It's set in a post-apocalyptic world, where the surviving populace has been forced to retreat underground to escape the lethal radiation on the earths surface. Down below, a new matriarchal order has been established since all the men have died. Everything male is shunned since it was they that bestowed war and pestilence and all that jazz upon humanity. Into this setting two polish men are placed after having been thawed up?...summit like that.
They are treated with suspicion and outright hatred, since the women have all been taught to hate and fear males. But of course some of the hot underground nymphs are also shyly piqued [will you teach me about this thing called.....love?].

Of course the whole plot backfires when they discover towards the end of the movie that the frigid matriarch boss hog is of course.... a man in drag.

This makes me laugh AND want to throw up at the same time. Oh dear. I think I must get myself a copy!

Womandate 5.1.11.7 of the Consmamaryution Prohibits womanditory taxation of income earned from womanual labor except those womanufacturing jobs that are crucial to the flow of commerce.

That may be 1992 but you don't know 2069

Sounds about right...

Hell, I've been writing my own version of this for a while now.

[community.livejournal.com]

Oh I NEED to get ahold of a copy of this
and make people read it. (sorry bad habit. recently I started to force people into Siebenkäs and Wollstonecraft's letters)

but then I'm afraid that people, who I want to convert to sanity, will take nutbush's route and say "And this is FICTION how?"

I mean there are enough nonfiction writers around who predict the destruction of the world if the evil mess that represents feminism isn't stopped soon. People who exclaim that what we need most is MEN'S LIB, are likely to love the book.

So. 1970s, huh.
