Chuck Lorre: Men's 'Blooddrenched Reign Is Over' Because Of Birth Control Pill

Article here. Excerpt:

'TV sitcom king Chuck Lorre [link added] has a message for men everywhere. He wants them to know that their "tribal blooddrenched reign is over" because women now have access to the birth control pill.

This message was delivered to America on the "vanity card" that appeared at the end of the March 31 episode of his Anna Faris sitcom vehicle, Mom on CBS.

A "vanity card" is a message Lorre places at the end of each episode of his various sitcoms, a practice he has indulged since the 1990s. Some are meant to be humorous quips, but most are filled with Lorre's personal political commentary and meant to decry the actions and ideas of those he opposes.

At the end of Mom, Lorre wanted to express his prosaic Hollywood hate for men, his celebration that their "reign" was over, and his 100 percent support of women and their access to contraception.

"That is why male-dominated religions and social institutions are so filled with rage right now. They know, at least subconsciously, that the jig is up. Their tribal blooddrenched reign is over. We are witnessing the death throws of the testosterone epoch," he wrote.

Lorre ended his card lamenting that it may take a thousand years to end the influence of those evil male human beings and for women to rule all they see, but he was going to get a jump on it all by giving a donation to the radical women's advocacy group NOW.'

Show aired on March 31. He couldn't change that. But it was the day before April 1. And if you have ever seen "Mom", you'll know it hardly holds up motherhood as being sacrosanct and fulfilled by flawless, sinless persons, all of whom happen to be female.

His other creations also do a pretty good job of going after females as well as males as being the butts of jokes. "The Big Bang Theory" has as many female characters on the receiving end of put-downs as any of the guys.

I am inclined to think this is simply a fast one from a comedy writer-turned-producer.

Well, he does have a point. The BCP has changed the social relations/agreements between men and women. I'm just not sure why he see's it as such a good thing. Promiscuous women destroy society. They start by inhibiting the formation of families and/or tear down existing families.

I'm not so sure his attitude is a joke. I think he is an extreme liberal feminist.

The pill has been around for, what, 50 years? This message might have been relevant...50 years ago! Even if it's a joke, it might have been a timely one in Archie Bunker's day. Not so much now...
