This was an impressively stupid Sci-Fi B Movie. I don’t remember when I saw it. It was a hotel room a long time ago, and frankly I’ve stayed in a lot of hotel rooms over the years and they do blend together.
But I somehow managed to watch this straight through. Despite that it was ridiculous, I have to admit I was curious to see how it turned out.
I was reminded of this when there was that spat on Tumblr between feminists and the idea of misandry. All in all it focused on the idea that the aim of feminism is dominance, not equality. You’ll see why this reminded me of this film.
The story goes that a biological weapon is dropped, called the Y Bomb, which actually wipes out almost all the men on the planet, and leaves the women alive.
It’s suggested that men have a “violence gene” and women, thinking that life would be more peaceful without men, decide to let the state of affairs continue.
This is extremely oddly portrayed in the sense that war, crime, or whatever offshoots of “violent behaviour” are not as important as domestic abuse. That’s the personal example often used as evidence that men are intrinsically violent.
Anyway, women continue on through artificial insemination and pretty much everyone is lesbian. The few men who had a resistant immune system to the virus are kept on as prostitutes for people who just need a shagging from a male.
One scientist is curious, and wonders if she can just delete the “violence gene” out of men, and then create her own non-violent man. She does this, hence the title.
He’s given some growth hormones so he gets to be an adult within 2 weeks, and despite that she basically mothers him for those 2 weeks she’s sexually attracted. Indeed, it’s suggested from the start that this woman just really wants to find out what it’s like to be shagged by a man.
So, she kind of falls in love with the guy she created and sort of mothered. So odd.
The Women Secret Police find out and are sure that it’s impossible to cure the “violence gene.” The scientist runs off with her creation/son/lover to some last holdout bastion of men with guns who don’t want to be boy-whores.
And that’s all I remember.
I suspect that the movie was made to illustrate a feminist idea gone really strange and out of hand. As if the suspicions of feminist aspirations to dominance were true. But it’s just a really weird plot and cheaply made.
I just wanted to share this B-movie oddness with you.
