Men aren’t going anywhere and if they do become extinct, women will soon follow.
Step 1: Lock yourself away.
Step 2: Wait.
Step 3: Be the last man on Earth.
then you might have a chance.
Not as long as there are still LaZBoys and big screen televisions.
@The_Compassionate_Heretic
Show me one woman that follows a man anywhere… remember we’re the ones who refuse to ask directions.
Groucho Marx said it best (and prophetically)
“As long as women insist upon being man’s equal, they will never realize their own superiority”.
The ladies better start taking human cloning very seriously if they still want some men around after the Y Chromosome goes bye-bye.
@The_Compassionate_Heretic
Yeah I hear you. This just has me pondering if @Darwin‘s LaZBoy and big screen is the culprit behind all this. We used to be hunters, now we watch punters.
@eponymoushipster
“Scientists are seeking ethical permission to produce synthetic sperm cells from a woman’s bone marrow tissue…”
Oh Shat!
I’m taking an insurance policy out on my genitalia first thing Monday morning!
Oh to be the last man standing…
Heh, punters. You sounded British/Australian there.
Nope… Just a LaZBoy.
Face it. Women don’t need us any longer. We’re doomed! Between the selection of produce at the grocery store to the vast array of vibrators available… What the HELL do they need men for?
I should have seen this coming.
Can you imagine being the last man on earth? With my luck, if it was me, all the women would be PMSing all at the same time, I would say something stupid without thinking, and the only thing I’d be would be the last man killed by a bunch of angry, emotional, and irrational females.
@RealEyesRealizeRealLies Women need us for two things really, to lift heavy items and to fix broken things.
You’ll notice that no women are commenting. They know we’re on to them. They know EVERYTHING!
@RealEyesRealizeRealLies one thing all men should know: Women are the vainest creatures on the planet; but you should never let them know that you know that, you just use it to your advantage.
@evelyns_pet_zebra
That’s right! And robotics and Ikea will soon take those salty pleasures away from us.
@evelyns_pet_zebra
From the first bite of the apple, I have a feeling that women already know that I know what you know that they know that I know.
THE P-MATE…? Hahahahahahahahaha!
WE’RE DONE FOR!
I don’t really think that men will disappear, not before women anyway. We should focus more on not destroying our planet, together. imho.
Oh, silly @evelyns_pet_zebra and @eponymoushipster! They make these for lifting things, these for opening jars and these for fixing things.
You had best make sure the centipede and millipede populations don’t dwindle. Those things are freaky; we need you for those.
@Zen
Don’t count on it. I’m already invisible to most women right now.
Oooh, I like the boots! Those creepy ass things move fast, though. I might need something easier to run [away] in.
Get a cat! Puss n’ boots is quite formidable… I mean, it’s getting rid of the men vermin pretty smartly!
Even though the “Y” chromosome will eventually vanish. Healthy male mice today have no “Y” chromosome and are still able to pair, and reproduce.
The question should be, what will human males look like once the “Y” is no longer? =D
They’ll keep a few of us around to take out the garbage, fix roof leaks, and change the oil rototill the garden.
We’re all gonna go fruity and shit.
“What the HELL do they need men for?”
I was going to say to open jars but I see the monkey beat me to it.
How about, to scratch our backs? Fasten necklaces with fidgety little clasps (maybe not that because we can fasten them in front and slide them around)? Pretend our farts are theirs (or the dog’s)?
Ah, ha! I have it! To give women something to complain about!
XX/XY is not the only system of sex determination. The system @milla101 was referencing is the XX/X0 system, where females are XX and males are X0, meaning they have one X chromosome. (This isn’t the system in mice, though – they’re XX/XY, I believe the only known XX/X0 species are insects – grasshoppers, for example, are XX/X0.) I have no idea whether the XX/X0 system could somehow evolve from the XX/XY system, as I haven’t studied the genetic underpinnings of this, but it seems unlikely.
As of now, humans with only one X chromosome appear female, and have what is called Turner Syndrome. They’re infertile and have a few other problems that have to do with gene dosage (not having enough of what’s encoded on the X chromosome). This also proves that there are still some important genes on the Y chromosome. :)
@fireinthepriory well that’s a relief, now I can dump my plans to start raising giant millipedes and centipedes.
@evelyns_pet_zebra Yeah, dudes are waaay cuter than giant millipedes or centipedes. Plus I hear that they’re better for conversation. :)
Sex was invented 1.5 billion years ago. It’s still popular and successful. I wouldn’t worry about it disappearing in the near future. I heard about those reports too. Media loves it.
As a mother of three boys I have done my part to see to it that men don’t disappear entirely.
You ARE a SuperMouse! Again…
Reptile sex is often determined by the temperature at which the eggs are incubated. I suppose those who want girls could consider wearing extra layers of clothing or taking long, hot baths, while those who want boys should turn the AC up to the maximum.
OTOH, we could always opt for parthenogenesis. Virgin birth has been documented at least once in human history, after all.
I don’t think men are really going away, but I always wondered why Wonder Woman left the island, sounded good to me.
