The Educators

In the fall of 2020, twelve female personalities of international politics disappeared in a single day. Secret services around the planet were astonished, not being able to explain how any organization could have the necessary infrastructure to organize a global operation like that, and do it without being detected.

The answer to who could have done it and why arrived two days later. A video was simultaneously uploaded to hundreds of streaming websites, from YouTube or Dailymotion (that deleted it as soon as they noticed it) to pornographic sites like Motherless or Pornhub. It was uploaded from thousands of unknown IP addresses that were never used again, and from dozens of different countries in all continents, making it impossible to trace. Billions of people watched in shock, unable to believe their eyes and ears.

The video started with a shot of six men wearing balaclavas. The first one to speak had a thick German accent:

-This is a message to all the men and women of the world, as well as their governments. Prepare to be educated. During the last years, female supremacism has become hegemonic in many countries. In some continents, like Europe, North America or Australia, this new sexism has gradually infiltrated all levels of society, from cinema and the media to schools and courts of justice. With time, the influence of Western misandry could infect other continents.

-In their relentless effort to make males become second class citizens -said another male voice, this time with a Chinese accent-, legal systems around the world apply blatant double standards between men and women, actively discriminating against men. The effects of this discrimination can go from economical (like in the case of divorces or companies hiring people because of their gender and not their CVs), to even physical, with laws openly stating that against a man is considered a lesser felony than towards a woman.

-Meanwhile -continued another one, with a very distinguishable Australian accent-, Hollywood movies bombard us and our children with stories where men are constantly depicted as incompetent or evil (often both), while female characters are flawless and often belittle or humiliate their male counterparts. Just imagine inverting the roles in any scene of a modern film. If the male characters treated the female ones like they do with them, it would be considered unacceptable. And yet nobody raises their voice for men. Another example: while sexual to women is a taboo subject in cinema, and is only treated seldomly and always with all seriousness, sexual to men is often played for laughs. Make this experiment: count how many movies make a joke about a male character going to prison and being in the showers. Have you ever seen a film where to a female was given the same humorous treatment?

-It is all part of a global operation to marginalize masculinity and impose female supremacy -said the fourth individual, sporting a clear American accent-. Our organization was born to combat this new sexism and fight for equality. For years we grew in the shadows, while the enemy became overconfident, thinking they had no opposition. Their excesses were our strength, since every new injustice added more members to our cause. The time has come to get out of the shadows. Two days ago, we kidnapped twelve of the most powerful women in the world. We did it in a single strike and none of the world's secret services could predict it. It was a demonstration of . We are unstoppable.

-The object of this action is to teach the world a lesson and inspire men around the planet to stand up for their rights -continues another one, with an Arabic accent-. The twelve prisoners will be subject to a process of domestication, during which they will learn to respect men, becoming an example for all humankind. You will all be able to witness their progress, since we will regularly upload videos documenting the process. We want to make one thing very clear: none of the captives will be killed or permanently harmed. We are not terrorists, just educators. All the hostages will be released safe and sound when our mission is accomplished. For that to happen, we demand an official compromise of the United Nations to ban all double standards in every legal system on Earth. We demand that this compromise is sanctioned by all member states and that immediate action is taken to end discrimination against men around the world.

-We regret having to take affirmative action -says the last one, with a Russian accent-, but you left us . We know that you will try to find us, but we also know that you will fail. We are nowhere, because we are everywhere. The Egalitarian Revolution has begun.

After the speech, the video showed images of twelve cells. They were small cubicles, of two meters long and two meters wide, and they had no beds or furniture of any kind. Just an empty space with a squat toilet on the left corner. In every one of these spaces laid a totally naked woman. Billions of people grasped in shock when they recognized them as the politicians and royals that had disappeared two days earlier. The video showed a ten-second clip of every cell, while subtitles appeared on screen with the names and ranks of the captives:

1. Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister of New Zealand
2. Sanna Marin, Prime Minister of Finland
3. Mette Frederiksen, Prime Minister of Denmark
4. Katrin Jakobsdottir, Prime Minister of Iceland
5. Melania Trump, First Lady of the United States
6. Xi Mingze, daughter of the President of China
7. Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge
8. Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex
9. Princess Aiko of Japan
10. Queen Rania of Jordan
11. Queen Letizia of Spain
12. Queen Máxima of the Netherlands

The video ended with the screen going green and a final message:

The Egalitarian Revolution has begun
