The feminist propaganda...
wburchnall2 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This episode was kind of uneventful. You have more party-dialogue, more drama about the 3-way affair and the ex-marine character chasing after his sister by catching a ride in a random van, only to find he's too late, heading back to where he came and catching a ride with a random stranger in a truck. That's pretty much all the major plot points.
All the feminist propaganda in the latest different TV shows is getting a bit much. Here, we have a perfectly fine premise of society collapsing in on itself with it's glorification of violence. Yet, they had to throw in the "Matron of the Saints" or whatever. A group of 5 female heroes that wonder around in an RV attacking men who state "3 women are killed for every 1 man in the purge".
Realistically, way more men are attacked and are the victims of violent crime every year. The statistics are very clear:
The rate of assault with a weapon or assault causing bodily harm (level 2) among men (215 per 100,000 population) was nearly double that for women (114 per 100,000 population).
The police-reported rate for male victims of aggravated assault (18 per 100,000 population) was more than three times higher than the rate for female victims (5 per 100,000 population)
If the purge were real and the writers aren't morons or understand anything about crime, they'd know that men who are more than 3x as likely to be the victims of aggravated assault would likely be the ones dying at a rate 3x greater.
Honestly, throughout the whole series, we are always seeing groups of men wondering the streets with at most 1-2 female in a group of 5 men but often zero. If the gangs encounter eachother and kill eachother while being all or mostly male, you'd expect a large number of the deaths to be male.
Furthermore, there's the subplot from the movies of the "military" coming in and purging entire buildings in poor areas. Does the "military" only purge the females of the apartment buildings and let the males go? Sounds unlikely since they are trying to keep it under wraps and a secret.
The more honest likelihood is if we revert to tribalism, we'd see men killing other men who are competition in business or romance, in order to have more success. IE, You really like Jessica but she has a thing for Dave and think you could get with Jessica if only Dave wasn't in the picture? Yes, that used to result in Dave being pushed off a cliff or having an accident while away from camp. Back in the Tribalism days...polygamy was very common. The top 20% of men and their relatives used to get 80% of the women and the bottom 80% had to fight for the remaining 20%. More than half of all men would sire 0 children and not pass on their genes.
Hence, we all come from a hundred thousand generations of winners against the odds to be here. Anyways, the premise behind the Matron of the Saints organization is just feminist propaganda. It makes no sense in the real world, the purge world based upon an apocalyptic version of the real world or anywhere else.
