A mischievous alien species decides to remotely mess with humanity. Without warning, all females on Earth gain the ability to hear the thoughts and access the memories of nearby males. The aliens give it one hour before deciding whether to make it permanent.
“Get down here now!!” One of the human women had figured out how to message the ship.
Curious, the aliens landed in Central Park. In minutes their ship was surrounded by women of all ages, shapes, sizes, and descriptions.
The woman closest to the ship, who was clearly waiting for them, wore a shirt with a patch on it that said “Lucy”. She was in heavy work pants, boots, and carrying a baseball bat.
The aliens talked amongst themselves and decided maybe they’ll stay in the ship.
“Yeah I thought you would,” Lucy muttered loud enough for their microphones to pick up. “Shut the thought converter off right now or you’ll never make it back into the sky alive.” The crowd of women roared in agreement, a sound that shook the earth below them for miles around.
“Why would we do that?” One of the aliens asked through the comms system. They sounded both smug about the trouble they’d caused and curious.
“Because we already know what the boys think. And we already know most of their memories. We don’t need that information to survive or thrive here.”
“Because we’re a culture that believed in privacy, nd you’re breaching the privacy of all the men on earth.”another woman added.
“AND YOUR DEVICE CAUSES MIGRAINES IN 51% OF THE POPULATION YOU JACKASSES.” a woman who until that moment had been clutching her temples in obvious pain. Women all around shook their heads in agreement.
“And you’re not smart enough use it without supervision.” Lucy finished. “We’ve got to confiscate it before you get yourselves hurt.” The women behind Lucy cheered.
“Hey! What makes you think we’re not smart enough to use it?” another of the aliens objected.
“EXHIBIT A: YOU HAVEN’T FIGURED OUT WE’RE READING YOUR MINDS…” Lucy shouted in obvious frustration.
