Synopsis "Twelve Pillars of Correctness (in English)"
The twelve chapters of this book are mostly independent scenarios, presented in dialog form, that take a lighthearted look at how political correctness may play out over the next hundred years. First, we see how the victory over gender may yield a denial of personal choice. Then there is an adventure at the outer limits of social diversity, followed by an explication of Hollywood's role as a change agent. We see children learning to play the game of "safe space," and hear about the wondrous human benefits produced by the Endangered Species Act. We follow the religious evolution whereby the nation finds itself populated by Foodhists and Thindus, then find out how the Femocratic majority in the U.S. Senate manages to pass legislation that will increase the nation's female-to-male ratio for reproductive reasons. A short item watches parents in service of bratty kids at a birthday party, and another shows the potentially transformative influence of tomorrow's bionic penis. The book's tenth chapter then sobers up to give a detailed explanation of political correctness: its origin, mission, scope, and role as a driver of progressive sentiments. After an illustrative digression, the last chapter ties together all the earlier references by laying out a theory of gender relations as shaped by male limitations. This covers the overarching power of motherhood, the origins of patriarchy, the male compensatory imperative, the challenge of male self-definition, the role of the male cult, the inability of most males to function as women-without-wombs, and the reproductive threat posed by the demise of gender.
