Do women not need men anymore?

Women don’t need men

Women do need men

[MrOracle]

Let's pretend that the Earth is split into two identical copies at midnight tonight, except all males go to one copy and all females to the other. The two worlds will recombine in one year.

Tomorrow morning, men will wake up and go to work and support the infrastructure of the world. They may be freaked out by the absence of the women, but they have their duty. Crops will still be planted and harvested. Roads and buildings will be built and maintained. Ships will sail and will be loaded and unloaded to the ports, and the trucks will still bring the goods. Clean water will keep coming from the tap and garbage will be collected.

What will the women's world look like when none of these things happen because with less than 5%of these jobs being done by women, there simply are no where near enough trained bodies to do these jobs. Power will go offline within 72 hours, and after that, it will be mere days before the world tears itself apart. Clean water will be the next thing to go, and without power, that's not coming back. Frozen food will last less than a week. There are no trucks making deliveries, no fuel being refined, and no shipping.

A year later, when the worlds combined again, the former population of women will have fallen by at least 90%, maybe more.

Men might be awfully lonely, but they would otherwise be just fine, with fully working infrastructure.

Haha I disagree strongly with this. For so many reasons. I'm just too tired right now to list them.

[MrOracle]

It takes a person with an electrical engineering degree a year of apprenticeship to learn the BASICS of operating an electric generation plant - and that assumes that there is a person with 20+ years of institutional knowledge teaching them. If men all disappeared tomorrow, how would women keep them operating? Even if you could gather every woman with an EE degree, there would be less than 1 per plant - and who is going to teach them how to keep that plant running? You've only got 24-72 hours before the plant shuts down, and once it's shut down, it's far more difficult to restart.

I don't think you really have any idea what you would be up against.

[Crimsyjo]

I think you discount that humans didn't evolve with electricity, operating plants, infrastructure in place. And that women are nurturers and caregivers. Growing and gathering food organically, raising and caring for live stock. Plus ability to live more harmoniously, multi task and organise.

To be honest with the tike scale you give I think both planets would be doomed. Without women half of the men will wither away in doomed depression or utter laziness to be motivated to get out of bed. And the half that our more leadership quality will most likely kill or be killed fighting for that leadership. Because let's face it, men make wars and are poor negotiators of peace. And sexual tension, fear and frustration will most likely only make this worse.

But lol.. I'm not really buying into any of that. It's too misogynistic for my taste and I don't really want to lower myself to that level.

[MrOracle]

You think that there are enough women who both know how to and are willing to grow food and raise animals on an industrial scale (there are 4 billion women on the planet that need to eat)? You think women are trained and prepared to work in slaughter houses? Meat packing plants?

You very casually dismissed electricity, but without it, damn near everything else stops. The truth is that you aren't intellectually honest, because if you were, you'd have to admit that you couldn't survive without men.

To continue our species men and women need each other. And in the old days before we had all of this technology, women needed men more so than they do nowadays. However with all the technology we have nowadays, women can provide for themselves all from the comfort of their homes. They can work from home, order all their groceries from home, and order all the maintenance from home.

Women technically don't NEED men anymore and due to that men don't see our role in society as easily as back in the day of protect and provide.

[Crimsyjo]

It's moved on from protect and provide in a physical sense to a more emotional one. Women are more capable due to a recognition that we can be (compared to when women had no rights or education and only taught to run a home). But that doesn't mean we don't want that supportive caring and loving man to wrap his arms around us after a long day. And I'm sure men benefit, after putting on that tough exterior to the world, of feeling nurtured, loved and able to be a little vulnerable in their woman's arms too.
We need each other. No other bond quite soothes you emotionally than a romantic partnership.

[Anonymous]

Yes we do. We don’t “have” babies, YOU men do. Without YOUR babies, we have nothing to carry.

It’s funny to me how I see it now, men are walking around with all these babies inside them lol. Anyone who want to have a baby at all need you even the lesbians. They need a baby from some man out there. There is not a single woman on this planet that has a baby. We need you. 100%

[lastlyfound]

What are you trying to say?

[Opinion Owner]

@lastlyfound that even the leftist lesbian men hating women NEED you. You guys have all the babies we don’t. You have the human seeds.

[lastlyfound]

But why would a man hating or a lesbian woman " need" human seed that men have?

[Opinion Owner]

@lastlyfound because they want to reproduce. Are you dumb?

[lastlyfound]

No I am not. Are you?

[Samantha_Stevenson]

If a girl says they don't need men , you should stay away from her if you have an ounce of self respect

[OlderAndWiser]

Most obviously, without men, reproduction ceases and the species goes extinct. Duh!

[sawno]

This whole who needs who thing is so toxic. When you are going to raise a family you need a healthy couple thats pretty essential for the kids.

But other than that men can go solo and women can go solo (In a healthy economy in a modern society). The whole point is that for the majority of us thats not preferable.

Dating is ultimately to find the kind of companionship that makes your life better. I don't get a girlfriend because I need her financial support or anything platonic like that. I date a girl for true love and companionship. Because I want that amazing connection and to have a true partner by my side. That has nothing to do with my capability to do things solo, that has to do with how amazing love is.

So all these I dont need no man people I just find bitter. You don't need to proof your independence, just enjoy a loving partner.

[Crimsyjo]

Yes this. Exactly. And nice to know guys equally look for that companionship and intimacy without meaning they are less independent in some way.

[RavVid]

I have to laugh.

An ex-partner can't even find her car in a shopping center without a man. Her female navigate by landmarks strategy is much inferior to the male navigate by dead reckoning strategy.

Her strong independent woman 'you can't me what to do anymore' attitude cost her about $2,000 recently. She could have got out of a car key problem for only $200 if she hadn't insisted on having her own strong independent thinking. Still won't recognize the mistakes she made in her decision making.

[ChinaGrove]

Nothing has changed in millions of years. The Internet is what it is. Go to a dance club. I'm an American, and I told a joke to three Canadian chicks. I was bashing Canadians, and one girl liked it. She lived in America and invited me to her apartment. She led me to her second bedroom. She must have had 100+ pieces of lingerie. She ordered me to pick one. Being a guy, I picked the leopard print. It seemed like a good choice.

The bottom line is, leave your keyboard and go explore. Nothing has changed.

[JonCobretti]

For a relationship? I don't know, some just prefer to live with their cat, none of my business

Otherwise, nobody , even men can't live without other men

No feminist who says otherwise can't live a few days without using anything that wasn't made by a man

[leftovercream_]

Women need men who allow them to bring out their feminine side. Women need men who they can rely on. Men who can support them and just listen to them. It’s very simple

[Crimsyjo]

Nicely said 😊

[RebelinSteel]

The level of stupidity on GaG at times. Humanity relies on both guys and girls. If you look at societies that are male dominated and women have very little freedom, that is how the world would look.

[idonotlikeyou]

I don't know about other women, but I don't need a man. However, I want to have one. And there is a vast difference between needing and wanting.

[AviatorTom]

Some women think they can just buy the equipment that lasts longer, vibrates and doesn't talk back.

Guess what? There's similar equipment for men!😉

[avery58]

In society as a whole women need men and men need women. Individual basis is different, most so some don't and vice versa.

[DarkLegacy]

Lol, so many women will say this but it is not true. Women tend to rely on men all the time especially when they need bailing out usually because of something that is their fault. Men however do not need women.

[OfMiceandMen]

They unfortunately do not... all because of that villainous bastard Von Vibrator, the inventor of that despicable sex toy?🤔

[meepmeeperton]

Women and men need each other biologically to continue humanity, no matter what kind of BS politics they want to engage with.

[4ngelic]

romantically, sexually, yes. financially, no

[4ngelic]

*meant like they need still guys for love & sex. but not for $ anymore. posted too quick

[Anonymous]

We need men still, not only to keep reproducing, but to lead us, guide us, love us and be there for us.

[lastlyfound]

Lead and guide in?

[Opinion Owner]

@lastlyfound ya, wdym

[lastlyfound]

What do you mean by " but to lead us, guide us, love us "?

[Opinion Owner]

@lastlyfound I mean we need men to help lead us, as that is what they are for. Guide us to do better as a person

[lastlyfound]

And vice versa is also equally true, no?

[Opinion Owner]

@lastlyfound well ya. True. Guys need ladies, as women are good at things guys aren't and therefore can help a man to make good choices while a man can do the same for the women

[Anonymous]

without men, who's gonna kill the spiders and cockroaches? much less bears, wolves, lions, zombies and hostile extra-terrestrials?

[LiamJHayden]

Everything that we rely upon for day-to-day existence was built and is maintained almost exclusively by men.

[Anonymous]

Both genders obviously need the other. Stop being childish.

[Nikki1989]

Do you walk down the street with your eyes closed?

[KrakenAttackin]

Women need men in every aspect of their lives but most are too delusional and privileged to realize it.
