Should the Male Gender Become Redundant?

Postby Czechanada » Tue Nov 19, 2013 4:14 pm

There has been a biological technology discovered where women could become pregnant without male fertilization through an egg only being fertilized with another x chromosome.

Given that males would no longer be necessary for reproduction, should society consider removing the male gender?

As I am myself male, I am cognizant of the fact that the male gender does have the inherent tendency of masculinity. The concept of masculinity has several problematic tendencies such as aggression and the disguising of emotion. This combined with the superior average strength of males has lead to a patriarchal society. This has lead to oppression of women, with men being statistically the primary perpetrators of crimes like domestic violence, and women suffer harassment in filling men's role. This isn't to say that all men act like this, and many males do try to alleviate this problem. However, we should attempt a preventative solution and try to stop this once and for all.

Since the primary purpose of sexual distinction between organisms is reproductions, and humans have superseded that purposes, sex is no longer a necessity. At the same time, humanity should focus on making society as best as possible. The female gender does not have these negative traits such as aggression, thus society would function better.

Should the male gender become redundant, NSG?

Since most sex is not for reproduction I imagine not needing men for reproduction would decrease sex by much.

No.
Your nation is like a son. What it does right is your merit, as well as what it does wrong is your fault. When you praise it, be lucid and avoid exaggeration. Praising it too much can make it indolent. On the other hand, when you criticize it, be harsh, but do not ridicule it. Do your best to improve it, not through derision or disdain, but through good examples and dedication.

Redundant as in having multiple systems for backup? Like, let's say, four balls and three penises?

The OP obviously has never seen two women go after each other. No aggression indeed!

Take away from the defense budgets.

If there were less aggression, there will be less war, and thus money will be freed up.

Nature isn't a predictor of future behavior, women have aggression just as men do, and Maureen Dowd needs to stop being such a raging sexist on this issue.

Sex is about widening the Gene Pool, about differentiating the human race. So by making everything asexual, you're practically asking for extinction.

Reproduction without males isn't necessarily asexual.
