A World Without Men?

[SpheresOfBalance]

Greetings all,

I'm new here, so before diving in I thought I might pause to gauge the interest of members in discussing the possibility of a world without men, that is, a world without male humans.

I've had this conversation elsewhere, and it seems that some folks find this topic highly offensive. Making trouble is not my intention, so it seems wise to at least briefly put my finger in the air to see which way the wind blows on this topic, on this forum. I'm particularly interested in guidance from the mods.

If this isn't going to work, ok, no problem. Just let me know and I'll drop it without complaint.

Thanks!

Well humans wouldn't last very long without men, that's for sure. It's called sex, my dear. But then that's probably what your particular problem is all about, right?

Hey I have more respect for women than men and I'm a male, and a heterosexual to boot. So I'd probably agree with you on many of your complaints about men, because I'm all about truth, yeah, I don't fear it.

Never heard of absorption lines?

Electromagnetic energy can either be reflected, scattered or absorbed. And actually it's trajectory can be bent by gravity. So what role does both scattering and bending play with fingerprints, colors or even frequencies for that matter? And I can even think of other things closer to home like the constituents of optics or other types of sensors.

Baseless speculation while ignoring the currently available evidence

Not at all, that's why Science is 'Revisionist in Nature.'

“For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man”.

Neither was made from either! In fact they both came about in the same moment. Over thousands, strike that, millions, possibly billions of years of evolution. It's just like the false, so called, paradox of the "Chicken or the egg, which came first?" Total ignorance, so the fossil record bears out. Evolution is the fact!

Well, the mods approved the post for publication, so I guess that's a go ahead.

I'm fascinated by the idea that world peace might really be possible. The logic is remarkably simple.

1) Men commit the overwhelming vast majority of violence, a consistent pattern going back thousands of years in every time and place.

2) If there were no men, there would be radically less violence.

3) In that case, most of the trillions upon trillions of dollars which are now spent committing violence and responding to it could be reinvested in life affirming projects like health care and education etc.

The result would be something which could fairly be called world peace, at least in comparison to the current reality.

Keep this idea in the back of your mind as you click through your news feed, watch TV news etc. When the news is reporting some horror show like the latest mass shooting, or the war in Syria etc, ask yourself a question like this...

Are male humans so important as to be worth this price?

That's enough for now, look forward to hearing your thoughts.

As a woman and a feminist, I find it just as appalling to pinpoint men as inherently violent animals as I would prejudice against women. Men are people like anybody else, and men come in all personality types. Why on earth would it even be desirable to try to "get rid of" men?

If you're concerned about violence, maybe you should consider raising boys better?

I think you suffer a misconception. A human has not yet attained to the definition of "Man" So, it is a simple answer, what is the sound of one hand clapping? There are countless ways to ask this question, such as the one you just posed. And it amounts to, what is a thing that does not comply with its own definition, or what is relation to self?
Which life support system defines what a "Man" is? The life support system currently called mind? or the life support system called gender?
And, if the life of humans is made only possible by binary recursion, do you define a world without men in terms of a single generation?
Try it yourself. A thing is defined by its binary construct of a relative constrained by a correlative. If human life is also effected by binary recursion, have you defined anything at all without the relative or the correlative?

In all events, I do not think that the world would give a damn as to imagine that it did would imply that you believe the world is anthropomorphic in some manner.

You need to demonstrate that violence is in some way a property of boys and not girls, but to do that would need to get rid of that "vast majority" and replace it with "all", which is (fortunately for your sausage endowed readers, but less so for your argument) not likely to work out.

Alternatively you can do a whole investigation of the social function that violence fulfils and see if you can find a reason why in the absence of men, that function wouldn't simply operate among women. You would though have to somehow demonstrate that in the absence of a men and women divide in social roles, there wouldn't simply emerge a new divide of a similar type that just didn't use peepees and vaj as the metric for divisor. I predict little success, but a very fun thread.


[ Dude asked how to prove it would be better without males violence, rape is a perfect example. Women don't have penises which means they can't rape. With men on earth, that will always be a horrific issue for our daughters, our nieces etc. And that is something even men who don't do that will still turn a blind eye too. It's torture and I personally think the world would be better without men just for that one thing. And yea women can be violent but it's mostly during some form of postpartum or because of a man, such as domestic violence or being treated like an object instead of a person. I truly believe women wouldn't be even close to the violence there is now because most of the violence is don't to women by men. ]

Your ponderings are pathological in that male and female are two aspects of one thing, the species. I believe it is symptomatic of the times and the ongoing frustration with militant feminists. The insanity of multi-genders, multi-pronouns, indoctrination, and sacrificing young children into sex change operations before they even have the power of reason. This is criminal and unforgivable, and its roots are to be found in the history of feminism. There is a backlash, a reaction to the insanity of change without reason, a mindless emotional storm wreaking havoc, for which the younger generation is paying the price. I hope that rationality will once again become fashionable. In the meantime, we tread water in this pool of absurdity.

I actually wouldn't mind a world without men because i have absolutely no interest in them and find them very often to be in my way. I'd add that in my dealings with the wretched, they are almost always exclusively male.

Women, on the other hand, are like little flower scented embroidered things that make the world prettier.

LOL! Would you like to swing on a star and carry moonbeams home in a jar!!

A world without men would have much less traffic on the highways and byways, and eventually no traffic other than AI shuttling supplies on robot cars for robots to maintain and repair the air conditioning.

Men are amazing incredible magnificent human beings.

But only because women have made them like that. Women are made by God, who is the only true authentic genius, who passed on the genius gene.

Yes, women have always been lovely little bed warmers--lol!!

Inherent male violence is typically well over an order of magnitude more lethal than female, https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/c ... 15779.html. Testosterone is a huge power amplifier. The 150,000,000 dead in war since 1900, in 125 years, averaging over a million a year, would arguably be more like ten million. [In total, 100,000 a year, order of magnitude, if that. War is male.]

The finest treatment of the subject I ever read was John Wyndham's 1956 novella Consider Her Ways.

“A world without men.”

Since men have invented, maintained and produced almost everything that exists, that would be one short-lived world.
