FEMOID. reveals a blind spot that should be obvious but is often a footnote in these conversations: misogyny maims and kills women.
The play follows three teenage girls – Rory (Roisin Wallace-Nash), Piper (Natasha Pearson) and Olive (Iris Warren, who also wrote the show) – in light-hearted school playground conversations about boys, relationships and sex. Despite their carefree and honest love for each other, we learn that a clock is counting down. We sometimes skip forward in time (or perhaps outside it?) to sombre discussions about an unnamed event, and Olive is conspicuously absent. And throughout the show, white text flashes on a screen behind them: verbatim posts from incel forums that are almost too vile to believe.
Portraying the sexual curiosity of teenage girls without objectifying or patronizing them is a tricky needle to thread, but Warren’s writing and Izabella Day’s direction pull it off perfectly. The characters’ discussions about sex are innocent yet emotionally intelligent, which makes the juxtaposition with the text behind them about ‘sluts’, ‘foids’, ‘whores’ and worse all the more chilling.
Great, woke entertainment that absolves women of blame by refusing to demonize unbridled promiscuity.
Soychuggers will watch stuff like this & ignorantly proclaim that the incelosphere is an epidemic, but what many people don't seem to understand is that the perpetrators behind these so called "femicides" haven't actually originated from any of these sorts of forums.
