Plot

Virile men are hard to come by when an experimental male birth-control pill leaves the male population sterile, bringing the birth rate down to zero.

Overall Series Review

The 1974 sex comedy 'The Dicktator' presents a scenario where an accidental male birth control pill sterilizes the global male population, requiring the U.S. President to find the world's last five virile men to repopulate humanity. The entire plot is a reaction to a crisis of anti-natalism, prioritizing the continuation of the human race through natural fertility. The core mechanism of the plot is the selection of five men, each defined by an extreme racial/national stereotype or alternative sexual identity, rather than any universal quality. The crisis itself is caused by the incompetence of a Western institution (science/government), forcing a reliance on 'outsiders' for salvation. The men chosen are a Japanese doper, a Peruvian sheep herder, a Russian prisoner, an Afro-American anthropology student involved in cannibalism, and a San Francisco drag queen. The film focuses on base physical comedy and a purely sexual solution to the world's problems.

Categorical Breakdown

Identity Politics7/10

Characters are defined solely by extreme racial/national stereotypes and an alternative sexual identity, making these immutable characteristics the *only* source of their saving quality (fertility) over universal merit. The entire plot hinges on forced, offensive diversity, but is a relic of 1970s exploitation rather than modern intersectional lecturing.

Oikophobia7/10

The institutions of Western civilization (U.S. government and science) are the direct cause of the global catastrophe (the sterility pill), framing the home culture as incompetent and self-sabotaging. The solution requires turning to men who exist entirely outside or on the fringes of the Western establishment, depicting the 'other' as biologically superior and the necessary saviors of the West.

Feminism1/10

The core premise is intensely pro-natalist, with the entire global effort focused on restoring the birth rate. The survival of the species depends on virile men, directly contradicting the emasculation and anti-natalism tropes of high 'woke' scores. Women's role is complementary—to be impregnated by the fertile men.

LGBTQ+8/10

The inclusion of a 'San Francisco drag queen' as one of the world's five remaining fertile males centers an alternative sexual/gender identity as the possessor of a biological quality superior and essential to the entire normative structure of humanity. This frames a non-traditional identity as a life-saving necessity, overriding the traditional male-female pairing as the standard source of fertility.

Anti-Theism5/10

The film focuses entirely on a physical, scientific crisis and a purely sexual solution to the world's problems, implying a spiritual vacuum and a morality that is entirely subjective and corporeal. There is no evidence of overt hostility toward religion, but objective truth and higher moral law are absent in favor of base physical drives.
