The status quo in the United States, tolerance for homosexuality, equality between men and women, freedom of love, and personal freedom.
America's hypothetical future with low fertility and low survival. The legalization of surrogacy has made the status of patriarchal society more noble.
Under the patriarchal society, an organization in the United States would arrest women and make them maids; their husbands were shot and killed,
Here, the maids accepted the feudal pyramid scheme of an old woman, taught Confucius' concept of male superiority and inferiority to women, and brainwashed the maids; if there was a disobedience, electric shocks and eye gouging were the most insane punishments in ancient times.
The insemination ritual of the maids is that the maid is forced to lie between the legs of the mistress of the house, and the man of the house ejaculates between his legs. The maid had just given birth, and the next second, the child's biological mother became the hostess of the house.
Ordinary men who commit rape will be beaten to death by maids under an organized and disciplined arrangement.
Here, homosexuality is second-class after ordinary people,
Hanging and cremation. On a wall by the river, there will be corpses hanging. The maids would be assigned to wash the blood-stained walls.
The plot is too similar to the state of the ignorant ancient Chinese patriarchal society, except that the protagonist is replaced by a race with yellow hair and smoke clouds, and the background is replaced by the United States.
The strong contrast between the status quo and the false future highlights that the state of the false future (the patriarchal society where surrogacy is legalized) is even worse.
