RE: #tellastorytome "Why Mankind Left Earth" The departure
I love the story. It was really an interesting read. Who would have thought such laws and measures could exists to keep masculinity in check. The idea of a correctional facility situated in some far away location are all part the beauty. Perhaps, Marcus will indeed be back as a changed person.
But....
It wasn't a termination facility, so I don't get the part where you mention a drastic fall in the population of males on earth. Are they not allowed to return home? Not even after the so called "correctional facility".
Well done @mgaft1.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. I figured that with the standards of toxic masculinity getting tighter and tighter men with their primal instincts and the lack of white brains matter just wouldn't be able to keep up. Especially in view of the fact that after correcting they could have stayed on Mars and wouldn't be subjected to any masculinity regulations.
There will be a huge imbalance of men and women on Earth and some regenerate women will go to Mars on their own. Eventually, those who will stay on Earth would be only hardcore feminists. Those who'd follow this code of values. https://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/shivers/rants/scum.html But without reproductions, they could only stick around for one generation, thus Earth will be deserted with only robot civilization to occupy it.
Anyhow, that is just one of the version of the possible future. Hope the divergence won't get that far and men ad women will find some golden standards of existence and be friends rather than enemies.
