Please boost so your writer followers know about the challenge.
- 86 — (Pt. 4) If your story sticks to traditional gender roles, even if your characters rebel, what does the story lose?
- 87 — A regime takes power that makes it illegal to display macho behavior, and with the ability to enforce the law, deports those caught to an inhospitable reservation, country, colony, planet, etc. Your POV is macho. What happens? (This is an allegory, folks.)
- 88 — (Pt. 1) What does it mean to a story to depict a man who's happy being male but is both sensitive and doesn't care that he enjoys filling a traditionally female gender role? (He wants to raise the kids, for example.) Can you make the audience accept this? Does it kill the story?
- 89 — (Pt. 2) What does it mean to a story to depict a woman who's happy being female, but is macho no nonsense at work and at play, filling by force-of-character male gender roles, but hates being called a tomboy or a dyke? Can you make the audience accept this? Does it kill the story? (Compare your answers with Pt. 1).
- 90 — If biologically male (regardless of preference or presentation), your characters wakes finding themselves physically weak. If female, they wake physically strong. How would you write a story to express how they’d cope with the change?
- 91 — Overnight all biological females (regardless of orientation or preference) become on-par as strong as males. How would this change one of your stories?
- 92 — How would it change society if women were and had always been physically stronger than men?Next week's prompts will display as a reply to this thread.
