Asymmetrical Information

Jane,

Well, we could always use gender-specific abortion to get the percentages right. Nothing wrong w/ that, is there?

I suppose the 10% male population would be tollerated only because they would be necessary as sperm donors. Would such donations be voluntary or mandatory?

Hey, ten women for every man ... I see an up side!

90% women will make the world less violent? Whoever wrote that has never been a bouncer at 0130 when the "Girl's night out" turns into a hair pulling brawl.

Women are as violent asa men; we men are just more obvious about it...

Did any of you ever see "A Boy and His Dog"? (Film version of a Harlan Ellison story starring a very young Don Johnson). Set in a Post-nukewar world, the "civilized" survivors of those who made the shelters kidnap males from above ground for genetic diversity. Watch the "marriage" scene, it would probably be a lot like that if these fine ladies had their way.

Presumably the men would be kep in containment facilities, straitjacketed in padded cells no doubt, and the sperm donations would be surgically obtained just to make sure no pleasure could be derived from the process.

Jane hit it right on the head in that they can say whatever they want because it's irrelevant. One of my fears in life is that my daughter tells me she wants to be a Women's Studies major.

"If life is to survive on this planet, there must be a decontamination of the Earth."

Hey, didn't Hitler say that too?

"The future is female"-- now there's one I haven't heard in years and years.

It's long been known that the future is, in fact, male. After all, tomorrow can only come once.

I agree that this is not to be taken seriously, and that it is something from the fantasy/science fiction genre. The ironic thing is that it is contrary to the tide of history. The data from China and other places seems to be telling us that a woman's right to choose means the right to choose extinction.

"But I've spent enough time around the movement to know that the majority don't challenge the people saying it, which is almost as bad."

Hmmm...If I did not know you were talking about feminists, I would have assumed you were refering to Islamists.

Assume for the sake of argument that the proportion of females and males is equal. For example, for every 90 women there are 90 men. To get to a 90 to 10 ratio of females to males means the elimination of 80 males. What are the specifics of this elimination? What methods are to be used in terminating the existence of the no longer needed males? What criteria will be used to determine which males are to be eliminated? Will all males older than 30 (an arbitrary choice of age) be declared as obsolete and unneeded? Will there be some age differentiation to insure at least some progression from childhood to young adulthood be permitted? Will any consideration be taken into account for infertility, accidental deaths and disease be factored into this biological determination? Who chooses which males die and which males live? Will the chosen males be merely specimens and sperm extraction be a medical procedure only? Will female sexuality be supressed on a heterosexual basis and replaced by an ordained homosexual convention to eliminate any possible sexual jelousy?

For a person to propose this kind of program, surely there must be an outline of measures to be taken in order to achieve the ideal. I would be very interested in learning exactly how this end is to be realized. Visionaries have in the past given the world explanations and blueprints of how such things were to be done and accomplished for the benefit of humanity. We should have such guidance from these activists now for all to see the wisdom and creativity embodied therein.

I don't understand why anyone would take this seriously in the slightest, not laugh at its stupidity.

Pregnant women are simply not equipted to defend or provide for themselves while pregnant. Especially in the latter days of a pregnancy. That makes them dependent on someone else to provide food, clothing shelter and defense. And that usually means men. And because of the obviously weakened condition, as well as the sexual dymorphism in humans, (while not as extreme as in other species, still exists) has created a world where men are on top.

Before you go about trying to change the world, you might want to investigate why it is, or how it got the way it did in the first place. If women were so strong and so "obviously" better at rulership, why did it die out? (If it ever existed.) The fact remains that women are not that strong physically, comparative to men, and pregnancy further limits their strength and abilities. Which leave any kind of matriocracy ripe for overthrow.

You all have got to be kidding - so a woman goes a little extremist and nobody can take it, eh? Gearhart's analysis goes far deeper than "let's get rid of all the males." She says, "let's recognize how masculinity has caused violence for hundreds of centuries while feminity has been condemned." She's talking about a change from the violence of coercion and persuasion to the peace of conversation and diplomacy.

And to the man talking about fearing his daughter taking women's studies: It is men like you in her life that will make her feel inadequate for being a woman. She should know what the world is really about and what it has to offer her and what the limitations have been for the women before her. I say it's better than any history class she'll take where she'll get to learn about all the great men that conquered the world while all the women stayed home.

Hitler has been reborn as a woman. I guess that is some kind of poetic justice. If women wish to lead, then lead. Promoting some kind of sexual holicaust is as perverted and corrupt as anything that has ever been suggested by anyone in history. Almost justifing the abusive treatment women have suffered throughout history. If women really think this way, then maybe men should return them to the class of chatel, property, like slaves. Something to own with no rights, like women in Afganistan. What do you think about that. Should all women be beaten with a rod because they are inherently evil and full of sin. dirty creatures that bleed once a month.
