Sharp, but not far enough

"So what do we have to show for all these massive spending cuts in defense and program cancellations? World peace and electric cars! Big bloody deal! True progress only comes about through conflict!"

This line, spoken by the leader of the MLO, Male Liberation Organization, the men's resistance group says it all. It speaks to the utter absurdity that men have turned this world into and why they ultimately are losing control of it. Women must take control of it or we will all die. The man, Mark Sawers, who wrote and directed this satire of Idiocracy and Don't Look Up ilk, understands completely why men are making themselves obsolete and deeming themselves removable.

This film brings clarity to the many ways that men need to be slowed down and stopped from having the power to destroy us all, but it also highlights the weakness of women when they do have power, to save us all. Both of which are part of the human condition.

The last scene and line tell it all, and remind us that truly, men can't be trusted with the majority of power ever again, and when women are represented in the numbers commensurate with gender population, they best not forget this and NEVER allow men to rule again. They are clearly not qualified.

Good start, but it punked out in the end.
