Don't be so quick to dismiss a world with mostly women, think about it, a world of sausage fest, or a world of sensual lesbian sex or (10:1 women on man)..... ;)

Hmm...from what I see in the news daily, the one being run by men isn't doing so hot. :)

Imagine... every 28 days we'd have a World War. :(

I suspect we would be corralled off in pens, and brought out only for breeding purposes, having no other rights whatsoever. Not unlike a stud horse.

...

Hey...wait a minute, that sounds pretty good.

drones only function is to service the queen. if the hive runs low on food, drones are kicked out of the hive to die.

hmm, men getting excited about the lesbian sex yet men won't be around to see it:p..

The only reason I wouldn't want the world run ENTIRELY by women is because I can not take the mood swings and the nagging. I don't really have mood swings and I rarely nag my S.O. But I do think that women are capable:)

The key is the word "irrepairable" damage. I honestly think that the damage will be easilly repairable by the year 127,000 - possibly even within our lifetime.

DNA is already being built in small chunks in the literature. My Ph.D. research can be used with their technique to dramatically increase their DNA building speed. Some coworkers of mine will start a small project in May to test the feasibility. Theoretically, the process can be used to build entire chromosomes. Of course we are nowhere near that point now, but it is certainly forseeable that we will reach that point within 125,000 years. The same technique that is used to build DNA, can be used to repair existing DNA. So by then we could either build a male chromosome or hopefully the ethicists will let us repair existing DNA.

Thus this quote is laughable:
It is almost certain to happen and, unlike human cloning, I doubt there would be serious ethical objections. Men are now on notice.

Did anyone else just envision a race of burly amazon women overrunning a bunch of hapless chicks in business suits throwing shoes at them?

That was totally hot.

Well, that takes all the fun out of this. :D

Just a thought, but if men evolve themselves out of existance, chances are women would quit mensturating since it would be a useless activity, thus all these 28 day world war comments, etc would never happen.

Um, the trick to getting past your fears is to NOT kill them. :p

imagines yovonbishop freaking out with a hammer in her hand running around smashing furniture until the spider dies from a heart attack

I perfer to surround myself with women. Lots and lots of women. Why? Women are hot.

For that reason, I joined the band in high school. I was an assistant on the girl's swimming team. I worked at a restaurant without any other male employees (Arby's). I took ballroom dance classes. Etc. Yep I am surrounded by women and in many cases (dancing) I touch a lot of women in many different places (and they enjoy it). Because of my life around women, I am labeled as being a wuss (or the ga% word that Anandtech Mods like to ban).

The definition of macho is basically the avoidance of women at all costs (wrestling other men, hanging out with men, etc).

Conclusion: in 125,000 years all men will be wusses.

I don't think the extinction of sperm is going to cause the extinction of ovulation. Not only will they menstruate, but they'll be able to ejaculate their own fertilizing gametes. So the world will be ran with girls having pms AND having pissing contests. :shocked:

Stick with the scientific explanation. It made sense and I believe it.

You forgot to take "women's studies" in school.
