Ban trees: sperm-spewing phallic symbols of male oppression

Dear Leader,

I humbly write today to denounce subversive and counter-revolutionary activities of certain botanical bullies, which you may know as "trees." Each spring they discharge their filthy male gametes in the form of pollen all of the property of the Collective, most notably, the People™, thus exemplifying reactionary biological functions, promoting male chauvinism, furthering the relentless Republican War on Women, and sabotaging the glorious economic recovery of your making.

As such, in all justice and right reason, "trees" ought to be banned by law or executive order, in the anticipation of the Glorious World of Next Tuesday™.

The case against these botanical subversives is composed of three pillars:

  1. Some ideologically unsound biology texts may argue that spewing male gametes is a natural process, but this is nothing more than a barbaric display of male hegemony. Biology, like all other science, must be restored to its rightful place, which is right behind Current Truth™, lest it be discredited and ignored. The precedents include the so-called "biological fact" of a fetus being genetically distinct from its mother and father at the moment of conception, or our female comrades having on average less muscle mass than the male comrades have (except in the Motherland), or the "pause" in Anthropogenic Global Warming (aka Climate Change).
    .
  2. The damage caused to said property of the State (the People™) in the form of allergies could result in the loss of government's productivity, chiefly printing food stamps and government checks, diminishing this great economic recovery of which we all share the bounty. Theoretically this may also deplete the resources of the State for its grand works, ever since Obamacare has codified maintenance cost of the People™ as the collective's property. In practice, however, the collective can simply blame capitalist pig insurance companies, then dispose of their property whenever it sees fit, reducing these pesky maintenance costs.
    .
  3. Trees as "standing wood" could be interpreted as a phallic symbol, promoting the rape culture across this great collective of ours, especially on college campuses. I would expand, but I believe Rolling Stone is doing a cover article on the topic next month.

Though previous indoctrination tells us that trees are more important than people, newer progressive scientific developments indicate that eradication of masculinity (excepting LGBTQ or FLOTUS) may be of greater importance than keeping trees. I would guess that the Watermelon Wing of the Party™ could be re-educated in a FEMA camp of your choosing, or simply purged.

Though, as I type, I do see now that there are already very few trees in places where your glorious ideals of equality have been brought to fruition and the rich have been cast out (West Philadelphia, Watts, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Camden, etc). I weep openly when I think of the victory for the People™ in these places, and I now see the majesty and glory of your foresight! You have already planned this for us in these bastions of equality!

I now suspect that this humble proposal may be redundant. I am confused, but that is to be expected, as I am a mere slug in your mighty presence. I would simply delete this letter, but the NSA has probably already monitored my keystrokes. As such, I shall report to the nearest processing station and await my train with a heavy coat and my own well-oiled shovel.

Well the Stanford Tree will have a problem with this.

Comrade Molotov Mimosa,

I can relate to your concern:

My mother had three apricot trees in her back yard. They produced a bumper crop one season, so prolific she had to prop the branches up with ladders to keep them from breaking, until she could harvest them. It was clear the apricots were taking over. Canning them was out of the question because too many. Something had to be done about this. And, fast.

They grew in clusters and, upon closer observation, resembled perfectly formed testicles. We started calling them “testicle trees.”

Have a look:

We wound up harvesting them, putting them in boxes, and gave them away as fast as we could. People who received these boxes were heard to say: “Wow! Free testicles!”

BTW, the above story is a true story! ;•)

Comrade Pamalinsky - you have done the right thing by the People by ripping the offending fruit from those subversive trees! I once got intoxicated on beet vodka and woke up the next morning in a peach orchard. The horror.

I was just triggered by the photo of the tree, where is my safe space??

OksanaTheTerrible,

[img]images/clipart/Prog_Off.gif[/img] Much as I hate to say it, there is no safe space. You're just gonna have to go “outside” sooner or later and face the truth! Actually, you may find this fun and inspiring! Really! Trust me! It will set you free!

p.s. I know you already know this.
