If There Were No Men

I’ve heard lots of feminists say we’d be better off without men, they claim that they are just joking, but say it again and again. That we’re all of the world’s problems, that we start all of the world’s wars, the species would be much better if we didn’t need men anymore. The trend is for the feminine to be exalted endlessly, the masculine gets demonized, Orwell-speak shields the misandry; but I think all these flippant jibes cover a fact few will admit, if these feminists got their wish the whole world would fast go to sh-t. Now I know the obvious fact, with men, no procreation, which means that the whole species dies within just one generation. But lets get to the here and now, to the world and how it must work, without men out there doing there thing society would go berzerk. Most folk who chose to be pilots do carry the y-chromosone, so if they’re gone then kiss goodbye the chance to travel far from home. And most people building with steel, or wood are of the manly type, so don’t expect much to be built if men are sent off into night. Most people out in the hot sun building roads are decidedly male, so if you are the type who drives without men you are bound to fail. Who can forget all the farmers, once again, most of them are guys, if they're not there growing those crops then millions of people will die. Surgery and anesthesia are dominated by the dudes, so if they’re gone you better hope nothing ever happens to you. The police who chase criminals, and use force to put them away... mostly men, and without all them scumbags would also rule the day. The miners and the lumberjacks, the truckers, and the soldiers strong, the plumbers and electricians, the list of it goes on and on… Now some may say that without men women would just do all of that, but equal rights say otherwise, and simply looking at the stats shows women do not take these jobs, despite all the hype about STEM, when both sexes are free to chose it still always fall to the men. I think it’s time we all admit that there’s evolution at play, there’s things men are better geared for, and it will always be that way. If all the crazies got their wish, and the ‘toxic’ males disappeared, you all would be dead within months, both sexes have roles to play here.

Indeed. Two side of the same coin. But you don't really hear people saying we should get rid of women. There are plenty of activist types who say the opposite. Who knows, maybe it'll shift with the generations and somebody will have to write that poem many decades from now.
