Yes and no. One of the truths that men don't like to admit is that a society without men could probably survive, at least given current levels of technology. Women would just have to create viable sperm from stem cells, which we already can do in principle. Men cannot gestate.

So I get why you might think that the collapse of the future could make for a hopeless story -- Children of Men did it, though in a very different way. But doing so in a way that turns women into mindless zombies that you kill is...not it.

I recall seeing an inversion of this idea on Tumblr, that in all honesty seems better because it tackles violence against women and trying to raise the next generation to be better. Still kind of hope that gets made, but I can’t imagine gamers would react well.

This just reminds me of Stephen King's "Sleeping Beauties," except that the point was *not* to kill women.
