ANDREW: I actually don't see
myself as being special,

because I'm not.

Not really.

Uh, these are green peppers.

Uh, sage.

So I try not
to think about it

and I just go about living my
life.

Look at this one,
see that?

It's a nice one.

It's not something I'm ashamed
of or anything like that.

But it's not something
I'm proud of either,

because I had
nothing to do with it.

You don't get to choose
when you're born.

WOMAN ON TV: And as you can
see here, the waxing gibbous

will be taking us
toward the weekend.

And then on Saturday
we'll have a full moon,

and that's a perigee
for this orbit.

So just keep that in mind
as you're planning
your weekend.

Family dinners may be a little
more quarrelsome than usual,

especially if you've got
some menstruating teenagers

around the table.

TERRA:
Andrew's been working for us

for almost three years now.

And I've really come
to value him--

- Hi Andrew, good morning.
- Good morning. Heading out?

TERRA: ... because
he's good at his job.
It's that simple.

Oh, the lamp in my bedroom
needs a bulb.

- And the fact is--
- ANDREW: OK, yeah,
I can replace it.

... a lot of people we know
can't find men

to do the job anymore.

Uh, so they're having
to hire women,

which is obviously
a lot more expensive.

- Good morning.
- Good morning!

TERRA: Maybe it's because
he is so much younger

than the other men
we've had working for us,

but I do worry
about the impact

his presence
has on our kids.

Really, you got a fever?

It's not that I'm worried
that he's corrupting them
or anything like that.

It's more that having
a man like him around

might make them yearn
for something

they can't have--
shouldn't have.

IRIS: I like the kids being
exposed to a man like Andrew.

Someone who's more in his prime,
more vital and active.

I think you're gonna
be late for school

and you should go get ready.
What are you doing?

IRIS: I mean I know it's not
a very popular thing to say,

but I think
it's enriching their lives.

- Nine minutes.
- All our lives.

Yeah, I suppose from
a historical point of view,

there's some truth to that.

75 years from now,
our daughters will
be able to give

their daughters
and granddaughters

a firsthand account
of what men were really like.

Yeah, I think
that's important.

- It's nature's way.
- Praise nature.

ANDREW: My name
is Andrew Meyers.

I am 37 years old, and I'm the
youngest man in the world.

FATHER BASSI: In 1953
I was a young priest,

just out of the seminary.

I was blessed with the good
fortune of being assigned

to the Vatican
to work for an order

known as the Congregation of the
Causes for Saints.

It was our responsibility
to investigate events

that were so extraordinary,

that they could be deemed
a divine miracle.

Every year,
there were many claims made.

Stigmatas, apparitions
of the Virgin Mary,

the healing of deadly
medical conditions,

and of course,
virgin births.

In a typical year,
there would be

no more than three
or four reports

of virgin births that
warranted any attention.

But in 1953,

there were
67 virgin birth claims.

AJALA: You have to remember
that fatherless pregnancies

first began more than
half a century ago.

This is back when Abrahamic
religions dominated the world,

and Christianity, which had
nearly two billion worshippers

at that time,
regarded virgin birth

as one of its
most sacred tenets.

Christians believe
that a virgin named Mary

gave birth to their
Holy Prophet, Jesus Christ,

and that He was fathered by
their God.

So you can see why
the church was so concerned

about the sudden profusion
of virgin birth claims,

because if they were true,

and the Vatican
could not prove otherwise,

then they would have
to be considered miracles.

Except miracles,
by their very nature,

are extremely rare events.

TRESCOTT: Of course, it wasn't
just women who were virgins

that were making
these claims.

All sorts of women
were coming forward.

But there was no way
to scientifically
validate the claims.

There was no
DNA testing back then,

and the blood testing that
we did have could only prove

that a particular man
wasn't the father,

not that there was
no father at all.

You see, like all mammals,
humans could not procreate

without intercourse between
a male and a female.

It was scientifically
impossible.

So despite the growing
number of women making
fatherless pregnancy claims,

the only logical conclusion was
that they were all lying.

HELEN: My doctor was
the one who told me.

That's how you found out
back then.

This was 1953, and I might have
been young but I wasn't stupid.

I knew the signs.

I felt awful.

The problem was,
there was no possible way

that I could be pregnant.

Richard-- he was my husband,

he insisted that
I get retested

because he knew
the same thing I did.

We hadn't been intimate
for over a year.

As soon as the doctor walked in,
I knew what he was going to say,

that there was no mistake
with the test.

There was no mistake
with the test.
Your wife is pregnant.

HELEN: Richard demanded
to know who I'd been with.

Who were you with?
What's his name?

HELEN: I swore to him
that I hadn't been unfaithful,

but he didn't believe me.

You're pregnant.

HELEN: I tried to explain to the
doctor that this was impossible.

He just looked at me
like I was a child.

... how procreation works,
how babies are made?

You see, when a man and a woman
have sexual relations...

It wasn't until 1988
that they had these tests

that could show that
I was telling the truth,

not that it mattered by that
point.

It was obvious.

But back then...

nobody believed me.

The harder I tried
to convince people

I was telling the truth, the
crazier I seemed.

And pretty soon, I began
to wonder if I was crazy.

How else could you explain
something like that?

SENATOR ON TV:
It's outlandish.

Not even worth discussing.

INTERVIEWER ON TV: But Senator,
you must admit these statistics

are compelling--
United States, 10,000 claims.

Great Britain, 6,000 claims.

India, 20,000 claims.

Even Soviet women are claiming
to have become pregnant.

We all know
that women by nature

are very impressionable
and prone to hysterics.

It's a known fact.

Now perhaps the hormonal
changes involved in pregnancy

amplify this hysteria
and their own gullibility.

And then, you see, they hear
about another woman's

bizarre claim about
her pregnancy,

and suddenly
they're all doing it.

They cannot help themselves.

It becomes a fad.

AJALA: Here we have
the major developed countries

that existed at that time.

What's interesting is that
governments all over the world,

with every different kind
of political structure,

remember this was
before unification,

when faced with fatherless
pregnancy claims,

they all reacted
the exact same way.

I've been very preoccupied with
other matters for a while.

I'd have to ask
a little more time.

INTERVIEWER: Sir, will you
be able to have an opinion

- a little later on?
- I'm not sure.

It has certainly been
a surprising spectacle.

AJALA: They pretended
like it wasn't happening.

But this is not so hard to
fathom when you consider that

at that time, every one
of those governments

was run by men.

TRESCOTT: Personally,
I can understand the position

the authorities took.

It would have been
irresponsible just to come out

and say that
a growing number of women

were procreating
without male insemination.

On the whole,
men are rational beings.

But we have egos, too.

And nobody likes being told
they're becoming obsolete.

ANDREW: Obviously,
it's not for everyone,

but I still look forward
to going to work every morning.

There's not a lot of guys
who can say that.

Not anymore.

- Come on, I'm going
to tell Mommy.

Come one, you.

DAHLIA: There's lots of things
I like about him.

He's fun to be around.

And he's caring,
he's easy to talk to.

- GIRL: Andrew, I can't see.
- ANDREW: Okay, let's
take a break.

If we still had fathers,

he'd definitely be the kind
I'd want for Violet.

What's that word
they used to say

about a man who looked
appealing?

Handser? Hands...

- INTERVIEWER: Handsome?
- Handsome. Yeah.

Well, that's what they would
have said about Andrew.

That he's handsome.

GIRL: Parasitism,
competition

- and mutualism.
- Right there?

ANDREW: This is actually
the third household

that I've worked in.

And they've all
been different.

Describe species.

- Got some more bread.
- Thank you.

ANDREW: This one definitely
keeps me on my toes.

There's six kids,
six months to 17.

But that's OK.

I prefer it that way.
It's better to stay busy.

I think someone's
going to go to bed.

So everyone say goodnight.

GROUP:
Goodnight, sweetheart.

ANDREW: What makes the job
a lot easier, though--

TERRA: Hey everybody,
gather in...

ANDREW: ... is when you
genuinely like

the women
that you work for.

- Okay, is everybody here?
- Hey, Luna, how's it going?

- Hi Violet.
- Hey.

Doesn't look like
you're going to be cold today.

ANDREW: Iris is really
easy going and kind.

ANDREW: And she has
this way about her that--

TERRA: Balls, we need balls.

ANDREW:
It's hard to describe.

- See your sister? Hi!
- CHILD: Over here.

All I know is that when I'm
around her, I feel at ease.

Saffron, move in!

ANDREW: Terra's more
conservative.

She likes to do things
by the book.

TERRA: Remember the play, girls,
just like in practice.

ANDREW: So when she's around,
I tend to keep a low profile.

I do my job,
and I stay out of the way.

Because at the end
of the day, no matter

how emotionally involved
I might get, I'm an employee.

And it's good to be reminded
of that every once in a while.

JIM: There he is,
the whippersnapper.

- Jim, how are you?
- Good, good.

You know Reggie?

He works for Holly Dawson
and Ivy Chan up on Verona.

- Sure, yeah.

And my bosses want me
to put on a magic show to boot.

Can you believe that?

As if I can just summon up
balloon animals.

I want to say,
"ladies, I put on

a magic show for you
every single day.

I toilet trained your daughters,
for God's sake."

- GIRL: Excuse me?

Can you keep
your voices down?

Nobody wants to listen
to a bunch of manosaurs.

It's so annoying.

Sorry,
we were just talking.

- Yeah, relax.
- Don't tell me to relax.

You're not even
allowed to be here.

- It's OK,
we're actually working.
- It doesn't matter.

You can't congregate
in groups of more than two.

- Or have you forgotten that?
- Oh come on, seriously?

Those are the rules.

Are you going
to follow them or not?

It's OK. I got to
get back to work.

No, no. Don't go.
Stick around.

It's OK.
It's not worth it.

It was good seeing you.
I'll see you soon.

See you later.

ANDREW: Maybe if things
had turned out differently,

I'd be a pilot
or an architect like my mom.

But there's no point
in dwelling on that.

I'm going to make the best
of the opportunities
that I do have,

because things
aren't going to change.

Not back to the way
they were.

That's just
a fact of nature.

AJALA: Even though
more and more women
were coming forward

with fatherless
pregnancy claims,

they weren't
taken seriously.

So things seemed to carry on
as they always had.

HELEN: I think there was
a sense that it was pointless.

We tried to tell them
what was going on,

but they didn't
want to listen.

They never listened.

But if you'd looked
a little closer,

you would have seen that
beneath the women's dutiful,

prim and proper exteriors,
there was a simmering anger

getting ready
to boil over over.

And then Sister Isabella
came along.

She was living in
a convent in the hills

outside of a small town
in Northern Spain.

Men were strictly forbidden
from entering the convent,

and even if she had wanted
to break her vows,

given the remote location
and the watchfulness
of the other nuns,

it would have been impossible
for her to sneak away.

Yet Sister Isabella discovered,
to her utter dismay--

... that she was pregnant.

One could argue that if this had
happened in a different time,

the church may have very well
embraced Sister Isabella.

Canonized her
as a living saint,

and perhaps even
looked upon her baby

as the return
of their Messiah.

But then again,
she had a daughter,

so that would have
thrown a wrench

into the Biblical narrative,
wouldn't it?

All we do know is that
the church wanted

nothing to do with
Sister Isabella.

The Congregation of Causes of
Saints was ordered to destroy

the report they had written,

and deny that they
had ever heard her claim.

They told us
it was for the best.

NEWSCASTER:
In the tiny village
of Burgos, Spain,

a group of nuns are telling
a whale of a story.

Meet Sister Isabella.

Though it's hard to tell
with that habit on,
she's pregnant.

And guess who they're
saying the father is?

No one. That's right,

it's another so-called
fatherless pregnancy.

AJALA: The last thing
the Catholic Church expected

was that the Devout Order
of Spanish Nuns

would not only break
their vow of silence,

but start talking
to anyone who would listen.

WOMAN ON TV:
You people think
that this is a joke,

but it is not.

It is happening
more and more,

and the government
needs to acknowledge it.

They need to wake up and take
these claims seriously

or they are going
to be sorry.

MAN ON TV: We would like
women everywhere to know

that despite the world's
scientific community

being unanimous
in their belief

that fatherless pregnancies
are impossible,

we intend to study
this matter vigorously.

And I have no doubt that,
one way or another,

we will be able to put
this whole matter

to rest once and for all.

AJALA: For as long as history
has been recorded,

we have seen with civilization
after civilization

that once a group
attains power,

they are very reluctant
to give it up.

But history also shows us
that eventually

they are always forced to.

INTERVIEWER ON TV:
Tell us what you saw earlier.

MAN ON TV: Well, really
it's what I didn't see.

When I came
into work this morning,

there were no secretaries, which
is unusual,

given how many
of them we have.

And since there was no one
to make me coffee,

I had to go all the way
down to the lobby.

But then it took me
20 minutes to get service

because the waitresses
hadn't shown up

for work there, either.

Afterwards, it was
referred to as a strike.

But it wasn't an
organized event.

My mother wasn't even aware
that other women

were doing the same thing.

One night she just decided
that she'd had enough.

My father and brother and I
were in the dining room

waiting for dinner
to be served.

And I noticed
she wasn't in the kitchen.

And it didn't seem like
any food was being prepared.

Then she appeared with a coat on
and her purse in her hand

- and said--
- MOTHER: I'm going out.

I don't know
when I'll be back.

If you want dinner,
you'll have to make
it yourselves.

I think there's some
ground beef in the freezer.

TRESCOTT: And it was really
out of character for her

to be doing
something like that.

But it wasn't until I turned and
saw the look on my father's face

that I realized that something
significant was happening.

I have to admit,
I was impressed
that he was able

to swallow his pride and
ask me to take him back.

But then I suddenly
had this realization--

that I had absolutely no use
for him in my life.

TERRA: I love everything
Iris paints.

I always have.

But I'm biased,
because we're so close.

And when you
really like someone,

you tend to like everything they
do.

Am I as crazy about this
man phase she's been in?

Maybe not.

But they're still
beautiful paintings.

IRIS: I don't think people
acknowledge the issue enough.

I mean, most don't
acknowledge it at all.

But manlessness is something
that really concerns me,

which I guess is why
I've been making it

such a part
of my work lately.

Because I want to keep
the issue alive.

I guess it's my way
of making people confront

what's going on.

The paintings don't sell nearly
as well as my other pieces.

Actually,
they don't sell at all.

Nobody wants a picture of a man
hanging over their fireplace.

It isn't Andrew's age
and what that represents.

He just...

He has this way
about him that I like.

FLORA: I notice her
staring at him a lot,

but it kind of makes sense.

If you're going to spend all
that time painting someone

you should probably
really like looking at them.

IRIS: You think
I'm obsessed with him.

I'm not.

It's just part of my process.

IRIS: It doesn't matter
what my subject is.

Mmm. It's good.

- Are you being serious?
- Yeah, it's good.

And it's not like there's
a lot of other men around

for me to paint.

And he does live with us.

Here is it.

I did it for art class.

It's not perfect
or anything.

I wasn't concerned
with likeness so much.

I was more interested
in his body, his muscles,

especially in his arms.

I really like his arms.

Hm.

My grandma used to say
about my grandfather

that wasn't his looks
or even his personality

that caught her attention
at first, it was his spirit.

And that's what I'm trying
to capture in my paintings,

Andrew's spirit.

And maybe, by extension, the
spirit that exists in all men.

TRESCOTT: As the number
of fatherless pregnancy claims

continued to rise,

we discovered
that the number of
normal pregnancies

in which a man impregnated
a woman was plummeting.

In fact by the end of 1957,
three out of four babies born

were coming from mothers
claiming to have had

a fatherless impregnation.

What was even more
alarming though,

was the fact that every one
of those mothers

gave birth to a girl.

"Parthenogenesis."

It's the reason
why we get called.

You know, instead
of how it used to be

when you needed to be with
a man to get pregnant.

What? It's true.

That's disgusting.

Parthenogenesis is a form
of asexual reproduction

in which an egg
is the sole source

of genetic material
for the creation of an embryo.

But this mode of reproduction
was only known to occur

with insects
and certain types of reptiles.

With mammals, however,

an embryo could only
develop if the egg

had been fertilized
by a male,

bringing together
the genetic components
that make life possible.

But with parthenogenesis,

since all
the necessary components

needed for reproduction
are produced by the egg,

sperm are rendered obsolete.

Not only that,
but we discovered

the sperm could no longer
penetrate the wall of the egg.

It was producing a new protein
that hardened the membrane.

The sperm were literally
being shut out.

Even when a sperm was injected
into the egg artificially,

it was almost immediately
rendered inert.

When you take sperm
out of the biologic equation,

there are no longer
any Y chromosomes

being introduced
into the embryonic process.

So every embryo
has two X chromosomes

and every child is female.

And thus...

no more males.

ANDREW: It wasn't hard
for them to figure out

that I was the last one.

I was actually
the only boy
born that year

in the entire world.

But they didn't make it official
until a few years later,

when they were sure that there
wasn't any more of us coming.

When I started school,
I got a lot of attention.

I was kind of like
the class pet.

Not in a bad way,

it wasn't like I was being
kept in a cage like Mr. Chips.

He was the actual class pet.

High school
was more of a challenge.

By that point,
girls were so used

to not having boys around

that the idea
of being attracted to one

was completely alien to them.

Don't get me wrong,
there were some crooked girls,

um, more than
there are now, I'm sure.

But they weren't accepted
by the other girls.

But neither was I,
so we got along just fine.

It really wasn't until
I finished high school

that I realized how different
things were going to be for me,

compared to the girls
I graduated with.

That's when it finally
dawned on me that

I wasn't going to have
the same opportunities
that they were going to.

They were going
down one road

and I was going
down another.

WOMAN ON TV: I, Eleanor Marie
Hamilton, do solemnly swear--

MALE VOICE: That I will
faithfully execute--

That I will
faithfully execute--

MALE VOICE:
The office of the President
of the United States.

The office of the President
of the United States.

MALE VOICE: And with
the best of my ability...

AJALA: If you had told
someone in the early 1960's

that a woman would be
the next President
of the United States,

they wouldn't
have believed you.

It may seem ridiculous now,
but at that time people thought

they'd have to wait ten
or possibly even fifteen years

before that would happen.

The changes
weren't that drastic,

at least
not at first.

It's not like they came out
and declared war on men

or anything like that.

But I don't think
it would be a stretch to say

that there was
an element of payback

in their governing agenda.

FEMALE SENATOR ON TV:
We very much appreciate
the historical contribution

that men have made
to our civilization,

but the facts are the facts.

Women make up 62 percent
of the population. And that--

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Actually,
Senator, it's 64 percent now.

FEMALE SENATOR:
Right.

And that ratio needs
to be represented

in all levels
of society.

But isn't your
worker replacement program

- a little harsh? These--
- Worker assessment program.

We only allow male employees
to be replaced

if after a very
thorough assessment,

they are deemed
to be less capable

than an equally
qualified female.

It's simply
a weeding out process.

And there just happens
to be a lot of weeds.

MAN ON TV:
My grandfather, he warned
that this would happen.

He said we never should have
given women the vote.

He said, you give them an inch,
and they'll take your soul.

You know what?

He was right.

AJALA: Generally speaking,
men did not react well

to female-led governments.

More and more of them
began to opt out

and move to rural encampments
in what we now refer to

as "The Exodus."

We are not welcome
here, so why stay?

You know?

We'll see how they
get along without us,

because I don't think
it's going to be too long

before they realize
the mistake they made

and then beg us
to come back.

WOMAN IN WINDOW:
Hey, jackass!

You forgot your coat.

Kind of an important item
to leave behind

when you're going
to live in the woods.

MAN ON TV: I was living
with these three women,

and they were all
beautiful and free loving.

Then they started treating me
like a sex object

and their errand boy.

AJALA:
By the mid-1970's,
it was clear

that women were doing
just fine without men
in charge.

This caused a lot of
the men who had left

to rethink their positions.

Some returned into going
in more subservient roles,

but a core group
dug in their heels

and refused to accept
the new world order.

It's simple, OK?

Power, respect.

That's what's been
taken away from us,

and that's what
we intend to get back.

It's not called
"womankind."

It's called "mankind."

And there's a reason for that,

because for the last
200,000 years

men have been keeping
civilization afloat.

We've been steering
the ship.

We built the ship.

And now they want
to chuck us overboard

because their eggs
have gone haywire?

Not bloody likely.

- MAN: What do we want?
- CROWD OF MEN: Respect!

- MAN: When do we want it?
- CROWD OF MEN: Now!

- MAN: What do we want?
- CROWD OF MEN: Respect!

- MAN: When do we want it?
- CROWD OF MEN: Now!

FEMALE TV REPORTER:
The protests tied up traffic
throughout the city,

which is believed to be what
ultimately sparked the violence.

MAN ON TV: Women just started
getting out of their cars

and coming at us with this--
this look in their eyes.

Get out of the street!

FEMALE ON TV:
I was trying to get to work,

but the traffic
was stopped dead.

And then I saw the men

blocking the road
and chanting.

And I snapped.

AJALA:
Protest marches took place

all over the world that day.

At first it was thought
that the violence

was connected to
parthenogenesis,

that nature was compensating
for the loss of men

by making women
more aggressive.

But in fact, it was PMS.

TRESCOTT: By 1975,
women represented

over three-quarters
of the world's population.

This triggered
what's known as

"menstrual ovulatory
synchrony,"

which is a phenomenon
where the menstrual cycles

of women become synchronized.

So essentially the world became
like one big sorority house.

MALE ON TV: This is just
the tip of the iceberg.

First their bodies
get in sync.

Pretty soon,
it'll be their minds.

Telepathic communication.

How do you contend
with that?

You can't.

You can't compete
with the hive mind.

AJALA: The protest marches
and the ensuing violence

turned out to be
a watershed event.

It was the catalyst
for creating a monthly,

three-day statutory holiday
we now know as "Menses."

But more importantly,

the protests happened
right after unification.

So it was the first test

for the newly formed
World Governing Council.

And everyone
was watching very closely

to see how
they would respond.

First of all, I want
to make it clear

that the World's Governing
Council, above all, listens.

We want men's groups everywhere
to know we have heard you.

We acknowledge your plight
and we're going to help you.

As part of our commitment to
ensuring the safety and comfort

of men everywhere, the World
Governing Council has set aside

vast areas of land for the
creation of male sanctuaries.

These exclusive communities will
be located all over the world,

including the entire
continent of Australia.

Men who live in these
sanctuaries will be provided

all the services they require,
including medical attention,

nutritious meals, clean clothes,

and of course,
entertainment.

We believe that
the remaining men

should be kept
as comfortable as possible

as they live out their lives.

And that their
contribution to humanity

must be, and will be, respected
and honored.

But, at the same time,
we must respect and honor

nature's actions.

ALL WOMEN:
Praise nature.

Do they think
we're children?

Offering us food and a bunch
of silly conveniences.

It is a blatant attempt by this
female regime to pacify us.

We're not stupid.

They can ply us with
all the comforts in the world,

but it will not
change our resolve.

Because they may have taken away
our rightful place in society,

they will not
take away our dignity.

While there's no question
the MLO had a defiant spirit

and were very vocal
about their intentions,

they actually didn't do much
once the Governing Council

established the sanctuaries
and began providing services.

That's rubbish.

Living in the sanctuaries
has not made us weak.

What it has done is given us the
ability to plan our resurgence

as the dominant, superior sex
without the hassle

of having to prepare meals
or take care of ourselves.

Don't you see?
The joke is on them.

All this time,
the regime have believed

that they've been
weakening our resolve.

But what they've actually
been doing is allowing us

to focus on
our plan of attack.

And it won't be long before
we're ready to strike.

I don't think
the issue is whether or not

the MLO is
an effective organization.

It's the fact that
their central goal
can't be achieved.

Not when the government
firmly believes

that there's no solution
to the problem.

They don't even see
manlessness as a problem.

To them, it's simply
an evolutionary event,

an act of nature
that's beyond our control

and should never
be questioned,

because nature is sacred.

FEMALE INSTRUCTOR:
Notice the energy rising
up your body,

higher and higher.

Feel the power flowing up
through your fingertips.

Breathe it in.

DARIUS: It wasn't enough
that they took away our jobs.

They went and fired God, too.

FEMALE INSTRUCTOR:
Worshipping the sacred cycles

of her forces.

DARIUS:
Replaced him with a Sheila.

FEMALE INSTRUCTOR:
That's nature
flowing through you.

WOMEN:
Praise nature.

But you can't
question her actions,

because everything she does
is a blessed gift.

Influenza was
an act of nature.

So was malaria and cancer.

But they're not
around anymore.

And not because nature
eradicated them,

but because the government spent
trillions of dollars developing
vaccines.

I'm not suggesting that
the Governing Council has been

avoiding dealing with
the manlessness issue

on purpose as a way
to maintain power--

even though
having men die off

would certainly
achieve that goal.

But I do think it's worth
asking the question.

Why haven't more resources
been put towards it?

There's no doubt in my mind that
the government have been

deliberately ignoring
the problem.

They're using nature
as an excuse to push

their number one agenda,
doing away with men.

They go on believing that they
don't need us, but that's just

another example of their
reckless, short term
way of thinking.

Being women, they can't
think strategically.

They're incapable
of seeing the big picture.

I'll give you an example.

In 1960,
the U.S. Defense Department

was all set to fund a program

that would allow the computers
all around the world

to connect with each other.

They'd have been
linked together

in a massive
communication web.

Could you imagine if
all our word processing units

could talk to each other?

Bloody amazing, right?

Well, women take over
and guess what?

The U.S. Defense budget
gets stuffed.

Don't even getting me started
on space exploration,

they gutted NASA
in the early 1960's,

and the Russian program
didn't stand a chance, either.

I really don't understand
this obsession they have

with putting
a man on the moon.

We all appreciate
the important role

it plays in our lives,

but do we really need
to go to the trouble

of sending someone up
there to stand on it?

I don't think so.

Now, if we had a way to put all
of the men on the moon...

So what do we have to show

for all these
massive spending cuts

and program cancellations?

World peace
and electric cars.

Big bloody deal.

DARIUS: True progress only
comes about through conflict.

Used to be a time when
one country fancied another,

they'd invade it.

War was declared,
and they battled it out

until one of them
was defeated.

And a bigger, stronger nation
was born out of it.

Dale?

I was just fixing my hair.

DARIUS: Used to be a time
if a man fancied a woman,

he'd court her,
turn on the charm.

... but I'd rather
look at you.

You're beautiful, Connie.

Until she had no choice
but to fall for it.

And they'd get together,
and they'd have sex.

Intercourse.

That's a form of conflict.

And out of that
came children.

True progress.

Now? We live in a world

where there's no wars,
no .

ANDREW: I remember when
my parents told me

I was the last boy.

I started wondering if maybe
I was the cause of the problem.

That somehow I had stopped any
more of us from coming out.

Like maybe I had broken
the machinery or something.

Or that God had taken
one look at me

and said, "That's it,
I'm done with males."

AJALA: Even though we still
don't know for certain,

a consensus has emerged
as to what caused

the extinction
of the dinosaurs.

The same will
be true with men.

Until the cause
is discovered,

a dominant theory
will emerge

and become
conventional wisdom.

My personal feeling?

It's evolution.

Humans evolved from the apes

and now we're evolving further
into a single sex.

IRIS: But why?

Why would nature do that?

We just don't
need them anymore.

That's all.

It's not as if we're
a hunter-gatherer society.

We don't need men
to protect us

or hunt for food
or build shelters.

And since they aren't needed
anymore, nature just stopped

producing them.

It's nothing personal.

FEMALE: It's the penis.

It was responsible
for the skyscrapers,

the missiles,
the oil drills,

and eventually all of that
aggressive, phallic energy

had such a corroding effect
on the planet

that nature had no choice
but to extinguish it.

You know what a NEO is?

Near earth object.

Now normally,
they're comets or asteroids.

Well in 1952, astronomers
recorded one that they thought

was an asteroid.

But due to an unusually large
cloud of solar debris

that was surrounding it,
there was no way to be sure.

Nine months later,

the first so-called
fatherless baby was born.

Women have
two X chromosomes,
men only have one.

Which would be okay
if our Y chromosome

had something to offer.

But the fact is,
it pales in comparison.

It only carries
a tiny complement of genes

and it offers no protection
against genetic mutations.

It's kind of a runty
little thing.

And I suspect that's
ultimately what's doing us in.

Why wouldn't there be
female aliens?

A race of asexual,
female aliens

that come to earth to hijack
our reproductive system.

And do you want to know
why the government

doesn't have an explanation?

Because if they admitted
they knew what the cause was,

they'd be that much closer
to being able to fix it.

So either they
don't want to know

and they've got their heads
stuck in the sand,

or they do know and they're
hiding the truth from us.

Either way, they're avoiding
dealing with the situation.

Men aren't like that,
are they?

- No.
- No, no!

When we see a problem,
we attack it.

We tear it apart
until we know

everything there is to know
about it.

And then what do we do?

- MEN: We fix it!
- We fix it!

We don't form committees
or talking circles

or go on listening tours.

- We fix it.
- MEN: Fix it! Fix it!

And that's exactly
what we're going to do.

We're going to get back
into power

and put an end
to manlessness.

Fix it! Fix it! Fix it!

I just received some
very important information.

They're serving tenderloin
in the mess hall tonight

and they're serving it
right now.

- Come on!

ANDREW: I realize now it was
a kind of survivor's guilt

that I was feeling.

And even though
it's totally crazy,

I still feel twinges of it.

It's usually when I see
other men looking at me

and I think they blame me

for being the last one
out the door.

"What did you do?
What did you do?"

I don't feel good about it.

But I don't feel bad, either.

It's not like
they're being massacred.

They're just getting old
and dying off.

It's like, I remember reading
in the paper a while ago

that the last surviving member
of this rock band had died.

They were called
"The Raymonds," I think.

The Ramones?

Right. Anyway,

I remember feeling sad.

But not for all
the members of the band,

or because they wouldn't
be producing any new songs,

but because someone had died.

That's always sad,

but that's also
a part of life.

Nothing is forever.

You're comparing
the extinction of men

to a punk band
from the 70's?

It's actually
kind of the same thing.

One day I'm going
to open up the paper

and find out that
the last man has died.

And I think I'm going
to feel the same way

that I did
about the "Raymonds."

FEMALE:
Hi, I'm so excited
to meet you.

- I loved your book.
- So nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.
- What's your name?

DAKOTA: Imagine if
the entire planet

was exposed to sunlight 24 hours
a day.

It would never get dark,
so we wouldn't have

any use for the word "night."

The same is true
for the word "gender."

Once men are gone, it will
cease to have any meaning.

And good riddance.

It's the most divisive word
in human history.

But doing away with gender
does not mean

we have to do away with sex.

Despite what the government
would have us believe,

women still crave
sexual intimacy

just as we're still
instinctively pairing off

in order to raise
our children.

Because without intimacy,

the bond that holds
a couple together

will eventually
start to disintegrate.

And then their families
will disintegrate,

and where does that leave
our society as a whole?

But the government hasn't
embraced this rationale.

In fact, the members
of the Governing Council

are these out of touch
conservatives

who harbor an irrational fear
of a male resurgence.

And this paranoia
has trickled down

into the bedrock of
the government's
social policy,

which explains why it's so
extreme.

They've turned their fear
of heterosexuality

into a fear of any kind
of sex at all.

Mom, can I ask you something?

Of course, dear.
What is it?

Is it strange that when
I touch myself, you know,

down there,
that it feels really good?

SPOKESWOMAN: Have you found
yourself in this situation?

Or perhaps it's a conversation
you're dreading?

Well, don't worry,
you're not alone.

The fact is, as girls reach
puberty, the joy and excitement

of impending fertility
can often be accompanied

by the confusion and perils
of sexual arousal.

The Department of Health
has produced this video...

I think what you
have to understand

is that these
are confusing times.

We are still in a period
of evolutionary transition.

Sexual urges are still present,
yet sex is no longer necessary.

Nature will eventually eradicate
these impulses,

but until then, until
we have become fully evolved,

the Governing Council needs
to ensure that young women

don't get caught up
in the futility
of erotic pleasure.

We're not supposed
to talk about it.

We're actually not supposed
to even know about it.

Especially
the old kind of sex.

You know, intercourse?

And now there's all
this worry about urges.

"Are you having urges?

Don't give in
to the urges."

Next they'll be telling us
that if we get an itch,

we shouldn't scratch it.

It's not physical,
it's psychological.

So you just need to
not think about it.

I mean, if you were to have
those feelings-- thoughts.

They're thoughts,
not feelings.

Which I've never had.

We are not trying to
discourage intimacy.

At least not
emotional intimacy.

It is critical
that young people be taught

to nurture meaningful
and deeply fulfilling
non-sexual bonds,

because they need to grow
up believing in love.

We all need
to believe in that.

You're a funny
little thing, aren't you?

Would you like me
to tell you another story?

- All right.

Well, once upon a time,
there was a fair maiden--

Hello.

Oh, your Highness.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- It's all right.

- I certainly didn't mean--
- I just wasn't expecting--

- BOTH: You.

Jasmine and I,
my best friend,

we've talked about it.

And we both like a lot
of the same music

and we get along really well.

But I'm just not sure I want

to spend the rest
of my life with her.

TERRA: We've known
each other forever.

- IRIS: Not quite.
- TERRA: Well, since
high school.

IRIS: Grade 11.

TERRA: Ah, that's when
I had Dahlia.

I had partnered up
with a friend of mine,

but that didn't work out.

Then Iris got called,
and we were both

looking to pair off,
so it was just great timing.

And we've been
together ever since.

I think it's proof that
you can partner with someone

without there having
to be that intimacy.

Because you can't force
someone to feel that way.

Terra and I
are good friends,
we're partners,

we're raising
our kids together,

But it's not anything
more than that.

I think it's worked out
really well for us.

Right?

Yes, yeah, of course.

It's been great.

But you know, I also think
it's easy to understand,

given the circumstances,
why someone else

might want a-- I don't know,

a deeper bond
with their partner.

I'm not saying it should be
sexual or anything like that.

Of course not,
it shouldn't be.

But that doesn't mean
it can't be something

more meaningful
or intense.

But there are men
still out there.

Some of them aren't
that much older than you or I.

So it's not
completely hopeless.

It just bothers me the way
that people talk about men

like they're already gone.

They're not.

They're still here.

One of them is, anyway.

She's talking about Andrew.

OK, yeah.

Andrew is a good example.

And I'll admit it,
I'm very fond of him.

Can we, uh, can we just
take a small break?

I just need to-- Excuse me.

TERRA:
It's not like I didn't know
there was something

going on between them.

The way they look
at each other

and Iris's paintings.

But I assumed-- I hoped,

it was a harmless flirtation.

But it's not.

I can see that now, it's
obvious, they're intimate.

IRIS:
It's not like we were planning
for it to happen.

The more time
he and I spent together,

we just... it happened.

Everything's going
to change now

with Terra and I...

and Andrew.

TERRA: She likes having
this aura of mystery.

It's part of being
an artist, right?

Being provocative.

But I never believed
she was actually crooked.

I just thought
it was an act.

TERRA:
Surprise, surprise, right?

You only see
what you want to see.

IRIS:
I have no idea
what to do.

- You sure?
- ANDREW: Yes.

GIRL:
What are they doing?

What's going on?

Okay, okay,
back in the house.

Now.

Everyone, come on, go, go.

Can you turn it off please?

Excuse me?

Now, please.

Of course there are
still women who are attracted

to men and don't
want them to perish.

We understand that.

But they are a small segment
of the population,

maybe ten percent.

And like the men they're pining
for, they're a dying breed.

Which is why we think it's best
for the population as a whole,

and for young people
especially,

to prohibit
opposite sex unions

and to encourage all the
remaining men

to go into the sanctuaries,

so we can focus on
the next stage
of our evolution

without any unnecessary
distractions or confusion.

So this is it
right here.

People are always expecting
a big electrified fence

or something,
but you have to keep in mind

that this particular
sanctuary

is over 300 square
kilometers,

and it's one
of the smaller ones.

So a fence just
isn't an option.

Of course, the service roads
are all gated.

We patrol
the entire perimeter.

But to be honest, we don't
really get many men

trying to escape anymore.

That was more of an issue
ten, twenty years ago.

- GIRL: Hurry!
- RANGER: Back then,

they were wandering out
all the time.

- GIRL: Are you getting him?
- GIRL #2: Yeah.

RANGER: Mostly looking
for female contact.

GIRL: Mom!

There's a man outside!

Just get out of here.

- Hey, no.
- MOM: Shoo!

MAN: It's OK.

Get inside the house
right now.

- Don't come any closer.
- It's OK.

I just want to talk.

What's your name?

I'm Kirk.

I already called
the police.

You're very pretty.

Get inside now!

They just couldn't help
themselves, of course.

It's just part
of their nature.

FEMALE REPORTER: Border patrol
agents quickly arrived

at the scene
and then surrounded the man

when he climbed up into a tree.

MAN:
I wasn't doing anything!

Just leave me alone.

Not you, you're cute.

FEMALE REPORTER:
After a lengthy standoff,

the agents were forced
to use a tranquilizer gun

to sedate
the unruly man.

They then returned him
to the nearby

Northbrook Sanctuary,

where he is no doubt
rethinking any future plans

to venture outside
the perimeter.

DARIUS: Like animals.

That's how
I'd characterize it.

Except when animals
are endangered,

everybody's all up in arms.

Committees are formed,
monies are raised.

Can't do without those
Tasmanian fruit bats, can we?

But what do they do
when it comes to men?

They take away
our livelihoods,

shove us out
into the wilderness,

erase us from their
books and movies,

and just for good measure,

they basically
go and castrate us.

I'm not joking.

This is evidence.

Undeniable proof that
what we've been suspecting

for years
is actually going on.

The report clearly states
that they are lacing our food

with estrogen,
which is the girly hormone.

FEMALE REPORTER:
Smith claimed the document,

which he says is
an internal government memo,

clearly shows that
the Governing Council
has been carrying out

a program intended to, quote,
"kill their boners."

A man's sex drive
is his life blood.

You take that away from him,
you might as well kill him.

So I am here to tell you that
we will no longer eat the food.

We are now officially
on a hunger strike.

They might be able to strip us
of our dignity,

but they will never
take away our manhood.

The problem was,
other than that memo,

which the government claimed was
just a discussion paper,

there was no proof.

They had found a way
to put a synthetic hormone

into the food without there
being any way to detect it.

Which just shows once again,
how capable their scientists

can be when they put
their minds to something.

NEWS ANCHOR:
Thanks, Dawn.

Speaking of things
that are short lived,

the Male Liberation
Organization announced today

they are ending
their hunger strike
after only a day and a half.

Darius Smith, the group's
leader, would only say

it was due to "circumstances
beyond their control."

What were we
supposed to do?

When a man gets hungry,
he has to eat.

That's just the way it is.

Does that mean we failed?

Not in the least.

Now the world is aware
of the lengths

that this authoritarian regime
will go to denigrate men.

OFF CAMERA FEMALE: But you're
still eating the food.

Couldn't you have grown
and prepared your own food?

Yes, of course we could have
grown and prepared our own food.

But we've deliberately chosen
not to out of protest.

Because if we'd refused
the tainted food,

the story would
have gone away.

People will forget what
their government did to us.

But by continuing
to eat it every day,

the world
is constantly reminded.

They have to live with it
just like we do.

I'm not at liberty to go
into many details about that,

but I can say that we did add
estrogen to the sanctuary food.

But only until 2008.

At that time,
we realized the initiative

was no longer necessary
due to the increasing age
of the men.

They were losing
their sex drives naturally.

That's a load of crap.

Of course they're still
lacing the food.

It's bloody propaganda
is what that is.

We're not so old either,
you know?

No harm in showing
this now, I guess.

People assume that because
I was the last one born,

that I'm very involved
in the cause.

I get approached all the time
by pro-male organizations,

the MLO, Man Up, Penis.

They all want me to use
my notoriety to help

raise awareness,
to lobby the government.

But that's not who I am.

I'm not the activist type.

Believe me,
there are others

who are way more effective
at that than me.

You know, leaders.

I'm just a guy.

I don't know.

It's hard to see
how we can be together now.

The government would
never sanction it.

Being intimate
with your employer

doesn't look good
on your record.

I just guess that I got
to stay positive.

ANDREW: I'm not going to say
it's a terrible place.

Excuse me, are these lima beans
in the quinoa salad?

- No, they're split peas.
- Oh yeah?

ANDREW: It's not.

They treat us well.

But it doesn't matter
how comfortable a place is,

it can still
feel like a prison.

They say the trick is to fill
your days up as much as you can,

to try to enjoy yourself.

But I can't seem to do that.

My mind is always
somewhere else.

Back at the house with Iris.

That's not what it's like
for most of these guys.

They've gotten
used to it here.

They like it.

But then again,
most of them have no reason

to want to go back.

I do.

WOMAN:
Oh, that's gorgeous.

Hold that-- Oh, that will
look wonderful on you.

LILY:
Here we have
the guest of honor,

the oh so lovely Olive,

who, as you can see,
is celebrating her first moon.

- GROUP: Yay!

IRIS: I guess on the surface,
things went back to normal.

LILY: How does it feel
to be a woman?

Uh, tingly?

IRIS: But it wasn't the same
after Andrew left.

LILY: And here we have
the proud mother.

Terra and I, we just
couldn't recover

from what happened.

She felt betrayed.

Let's get a picture
of the two moms.

IRIS: And nothing I could say
was going to make her

see things differently.

FLORA:
Um, Harold, can you move?

Harold.

What's that?

FLORA:
Can you move please?

IRIS: And the kids
really missed Andrew.

Especially Dahlia.

For my part, I tried to move on
with my life,

but I couldn't.

I couldn't stop
thinking about him.

MAN PLAYING GUITAR:
♪ Oh baby, talk to me

♪ Oh please,
talk to me, yeah ♪

ANDREW:
What really got to me
was when I stopped

and thought about how
I was going to be there

for the rest of my life.

It was like being
on the deck of a ship

that was sinking
really slowly.

And the women have all
left on the lifeboats,

but the men
are just sitting there...

waiting to meet their fate.

MAN PLAYING GUITAR:
♪ Oh she just don't
want to read me ♪

ANDREW: That's kinda
when it hit home.

How when I'm gone,
we're all going to be gone.

I knew I couldn't
just sit there waiting.

I had to do something.

I had to leave.

They don't make it easy
to do that, though.

I left in the middle
of the night

and I ran as fast
as I could.

But it didn't take long
before they found me.

He didn't think
I was going to be there.

I was praying that she
was going to be there,

but I had no idea
if she got my message.

He was just staring at me

with this stunned look
on his face.

So I said, "You just
gonna stand there?

Or are we going
to get out of here?"

ANDREW: I think that we were
so determined to be together

that we never really
stopped and thought

about all the implications.

IRIS: They were going
to be looking for Andrew,

and we couldn't
go into hiding.

What kind of life is that?

ANDREW: I mean,
we'd already been hiding.

Pretending like
we weren't involved.

This was going
to be a lot harder.

It just seemed so unfair,
because what we wanted

felt so natural.

To be together, to marry,
to have kids.

And none of it was possible.

But if we wanted
things to change,

we were going to have
to be the ones

to do something about it.

REPORTER: There's been
a surprising development

in the sanctuary escape story

that we told you
about last week.

REPORTER #2:
The 37-year-old Meyers

surprised everyone today
when he arrived

at the Jefferson Street
Community Hall to give
a press conference.

REPORTER #3: Andrew Meyers,
the youngest man in the world,

resurfaced today
after escaping

from the Alice Lake
Sanctuary.

At an impromptu
press conference,

he and his former employer,
Iris Balishev,

made a startling
announcement.

We not only want
the right to marry,

we want to have
children together.

Even though heterosexual
reproduction is considered

to be impossible,
it is our hope and our belief

that with the resources
of the Governing Council

and the support
of the scientific community,

that it can
become a reality.

That it should
become a reality.

And I realize that I'm biased
because I'm in love with a man,

but I know I'm not
the only one.

Please speak up,
because time is running out.

AJALA:
Seeing the two of them
together like that,

so obviously in love,
pleading for recognition,

it awoke something
in people.

RADIO HOST: Go ahead,
you're on the air.

FEMALE CALLER 1:
I don't care who
knows anymore.

I like men.

FEMALE CALLER 2:
I'm not saying
I totally agree with it,

but you have to admit,
they make a cute couple.

FEMALE CALLER 3: I'll tell you
what the answer is, no.

FEMALE CALLER 4:
Just let them die off.

FEMALE CALLER 5: Come on,
are they really that bad?
I don't think so.

HOLLY DUMONT:
This is a question
of morality.

We can't just stand by
and let them vanish

off the face of the Earth.

That's not what
women are about.

REPORTER: There were more calls
today for the Governing Council

to take action
on manlessness.

WGC SPEAKER: Of course,
the Governing Council

is aware
of the public's reaction.

And they're taking it
very seriously.

That's why they've convened
these emergency meetings,

to assess the situation

and consider
any possible solutions.

It doesn't matter if we figure
out how to keep men around.

It's not our place
to intervene.

This is an act of nature.

GROUP:
Praise nature.

FEMALE CALLER 6: I think
they should find a way

to start producing
men again.

But not too many.

Maybe a hundred
or a hundred and fifty.

Then see how it goes.

IRIS: There's been so much
attention focused on us

from the press
that we decided to make it

a really small,
private ceremony.

But it was beautiful.

And legal.

We even have a license
to prove it.

I don't have it on me
right now,

but it's the real thing.

We're married.

And now we've been getting
even more attention

because of this
little development.

It's not so little anymore.

We don't know if it's a boy.

We asked them not to tell us.

I really want it
to be a surprise.

But the procedure worked.

Andrew's DNA is present.

It's his.

It's ours.

It's what she wanted.

To be with him
and have a baby.

So good for her.

And if it's a boy
like everyone seems to think,

then that's great for
the world, too, I suppose.

Personally, I couldn't imagine
having something like that

growing inside of me.

A male baby.

TRESCOTT: It turns out
that the Y chromosome

was the culprit after all.

The government scientists
disguised the Y chromosome

to look like an X chromosome,

thereby tricking the egg
into accepting it.

Do I wish people
had been this excited

when I got pregnant?

Of course.

But it's a good thing
that's happened.

I never really liked the idea
of men going extinct.

Didn't feel right.

On the other hand,
I'm not going to deny

that I'm happy they came
as close as they did.

Gave them one hell of a scare.

And that's exactly
what they needed.

Patience.

That's what I've been
saying all along.

We just had to stay vigilant,

keep our wits about us.

And sooner or later,
we'd get our chance.

And here we are.

It does feel different.

I don't know if it's just
in my head,

but I feel like I'm pregnant
for the first time.

Which I guess
in a way, I am.

I don't know,
I'm just really excited.

I'm just praying
it's not a girl.

No, no, I was just...
