Twitter is a place full of strange and interesting things. While it’s usually a place for random, funny thoughts and memes, there are also threads like this one that actually make you think.
Author A.R. Moxon recently posted an epic Twitter thread where he laid out an alternate history and future where the roles of men and women have been reversed. Moxon’s thread makes it abundantly clear that although women have made a lot of headway in recent years, we still have a long way to go and history has been one-sided in terms of power, to say the least.
Here’s the tweet that started the conversation. Let it sink in…
Try to imagine men’s reactions, if it was known for a fact the next 45 presidents would be women, and after those 240 years, a man running was considered “identity politics.”
We would lose our entire minds.
We take women’s patience far too much for granted.

45 male presidents in a row…wrap your head around that. And think of how it must feel to be on the other side and be accused of “identity politics” for simply wanting to have your voice heard.
Moxon continued with his conversation.
Try to imagine men’s reactions, were it known that of the next 113 SCOTUS justices, only 4 would be men, and none of those w/b appointed before 2205, and even then women’s complaints about male appointees would be “why don’t they just appoint the person best qualified?”
My God.

There’s no doubt there’s a whole lot of controversy surrounding the Supreme Court right now. How will it look in the next several years? What laws will be passed?
Try to imagine men’s reactions if we weren’t allowed to vote from now until 2170.
And if even in 2270 women were passing laws in 28 states to catalogue our ejaculations and prosecute those deemed unnecessary.
Would that seem bad.

Think about this: women in the U.S. have had the privilege to vote FOR LESS THAN 100 YEARS. Pretty hard to believe when you think about it. When both of my grandmothers were born, women were not allowed to vote. Sobering.
What if it were known men wouldn’t be allowed into colleges for the next 100 yrs b/c women claimed it would make us go crazy and be bad for fragile penises.
But 100 years later 6 men would be elected to a 100 seat Senate and they’d call it The Year of the Man.
would that be ok?

Would that be ok? I think we all know the answer to that question.
And there was more…
What if we men knew there wouldn’t be a male candidate for the presidency for 240 years, and even then he’d lose to the 2260 version of Roseanne Barr, who’d been taped bragging about assaulting men during the campaign—but the media talked about what a scary time it was for women?

What if men needed a wife to own property for the next century or so.
Or to open a bank account?
And divorce is illegal.
But no fear, 100 yrs after that there’ll be a Constitutional Amendment declaring men are full people.
It’ll fail. But still—We’ve come a long way, baby!

I know, these are crazy hypotheticals.
Insane. It would never happen. It would be insane to treat a gender that way.
But if it did, wouldn’t it matter?
Wouldn’t it need correction?
Man.
We’d need to rethink everything.

These tweets are all crazy hypotheticals, but let it all sink in and think about what women have had to endure in our country.
