To be clear, I don't idealize the past and it's pretty obvious it sucked eggs. But there was a juncture in time when all the misery that ensued could have been averted. There was a moment in our evolutionary trajectory where it was not certain that xys had to exist. A female-only mammalian species could have evolved.
Parthenogenesis is not sustainable in the long term - it is useful in certain situations, such as taking advantage of highly ephemeral habitats or island-hopping, but any lineage that has it always also practice sexual reproduction - even if only when the pools dries up, to produce the spores that endure for the next rainfall - or is a very recently diverging species, heavily implying that they do not last for long. Genetic variety, including from generation to generation, is quite essential, and sexual reproduction obviously is far more powerful in this than parthenogenesis.
6ual reproduction doesn't even have to involve penetration so even if bussies were to exist, the continuation of our species could have been a less abominable process.
Evolution does not care about your prudishness.
Paradigms like androcentrism and slavery are always inhibited from following the ideas that rule them to their logical conclusion (unlike genocide). You loathe a populace to the point where it would be ideologically coherent to exterminate them, but your existence cannot continue without their exploitation. You fabricate hatred as the reason why they must be exploited, but that hatred in itself will mutate into extermination if not curtailed. Like capitalism and any other system of subjugation, androcentrism also results in a plenitude of moral contradictions. There are inconsistencies to be capitalized upon. Gynofascist acceleration is possible.
So, oppression is wrong because, and only because, it is not absolute enough - any antipathy less than the desire for total annihilation – even if for pragmatic reasons - equals a lack of moral clarity.
Also, there are several incels and MGTOW who do indeed think that all women should be exterminated and do indeed believe it feasible to perpetuate humanity through “artificial wombs” that have been just about to arrive and become ubiquitous Any Second Now™ for who knows how many decades, so they’ve got equal footing as you (specifically, 0).
All progress under androcentrism is false.
The flip of the idea that women have not contributed to Civilisation, and equally self-evidently wrong.
"Nostalgia" is the emperor pretending to wear clothes. We are culturally stuck. Film, visual arts, fashion, etc. has not progressed at all during my lifetime. I am a 90s kid. Identified as a 90s kid, because subsequent decades consist of increasing cultural rot.
Same old song, whined since at least the time of Hesiod…
