What's fascinating about Dhaliwal's execution of this extreme premise is that it mostly concerns itself with the quotidian realities of life for these women, they still have the same petty concerns post-men that they did pre-men, only now they can live more freely. In Woman World, there are whole new generations of girls who have never even met a man, and whose entire idea of masculinity is predicated on what they can glean from the cover of the Paul Blart: Mall Cop DVD. "It is apparently a thing that the Y chromosome is disappearing, and it's shortening, so men actually could go extinct within something crazy like 4,000 years," Aminder Dhaliwal tells me over the phone, recently, at the end of our conversation about her new graphic novel Woman World, in which men have all died out, and women live in a post-man society that resembles a utopia a lot more than it does a dystopia.
