Ms Newman, how about something original rather than cribbing from someone else’s work?

And the woman’s perspective is less self-absorbed ...

So it's a comedic fantasy?

So again they have to take the male character down. Winston was the protagonist. He was all of us. Feminists wokes just can’t have him being that, they have to twist him into a bad man.

If anyone actually read 1984 he truly loved her. Only a woman writer can so drastically not get that and instead make him an awful women-hating man. Misandry at its finest.

But the woman’s perspective is also somehow more bleak. When things are bad for men, they always seem to be worse for women. Women always have fewer rights. They are always paid less. They shoulder more domestic labor. Fewer women are at the top.

World is in a totalitarian, dystopian nightmare. Women hit hardest.

Hmmm. Well, if this detaches modern feminism from totalitarian socialism, how bad can it be

I could tolerate a rewrite of “1984” from Julia’s perspective, Shakespeare isn’t suffering because “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead” was written. However, I draw the line at imputing major motivations that are not in the original. There is NO evidence in “1984” that Julia was a plant like O’Brien. If that were the case, there would be no reason to have Winston drawn to O’Brien independently of Julia. There would be next to no need for O’Brien at all, except to completely deconstruct Winston’s mind, which is something Julia would not do. Also, they see each other again after Winston’s reintroduction to society. That would have been the time to suggest that she was in league with the Inner Party from the beginning. But the scene only suggests that they both betrayed each other, and both knew it, and what they . . . THEY, had was destroyed. To admit the story line of “Julia” is to destroy Orwell’s intention in “1984”, and that does not fly.

Our current society is gynocentric/misandrist (Due to Corporatism manipulating females’ purchasing power/penchant for materialism backed by a Statists force). Females since the early 1980’s have been the majority of the voting bloc thanks to WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam. The road to hell is also paved with feminist ideals ladies and a lack of replenishing the citizenry.. Reflect on Genesis “Girl Power” reprobates.

This is another BS statement since a lot females just naturally drift to prostitution when times are hard. Think Only Fans where females are selling there farts in a jar to some pent up Incel who doesn't have the social skills to hook up with a female but has disposable cash for $1,000 a fart (A lot of men are just plain stupid).

Females made out during the Wiemar Republic days because they had three holes to exploit for cash. Men just have two and over 97% of heterosexual men do not want to exploit those two holes at all.

To the author of this piece, 'Cry Me a River' females have it a lot easier in today's society.

Winston is a misogynist. He hates women, especially Julia, and has fantasies about killing her until she’s willing to sleep with him.

so it’s not enough to makeup a new character, but have to destroy the main old in the process...

the message
