Excerpt:

What would life be like if women ruled the world? According to a vision set forth in a short film, Oppressed Majority (Majorite Opprimee), that went viral when it was uploaded to Youtube a little over a week ago, it would be a pretty grim place for men. In the fantasy world of the film, women are thriving -- they have the better jobs, they go jogging topless, they urinate in public and they alternately undermine or sexually harass every man they encounter. The harassment is so pervasive and routine that the female perpetrators hardly seem to notice it, while their male victims have little option but to "put up or shut up". When things inevitably turn ugly and the film's main character, an unusually under-confident man, is brutally assaulted, he has a hard time making a (female) police officer believe the attack took place, even while being almost simultaneously blamed for provoking it.
