A World Without Men
I was surfing through the net earlier when I chanced upon this article and it got me thinking (everything gets you thinking, Jovi!).... Here's a portion of that article:
Will science render men unnecessary?

Hmmm. Interesting. Add that to another study that says that because of a genetic defect in the male chromosome, men could disappear off the face of the earth within the next 125,000 years, and we can assume that men might very well be facing extinction. That wouldn't be a problem since by that time, women can already procreate by themselves. Yeah I know, we wouldn't be alive then but let's have this for purposes of discussion. Ladies, can we live in a world without men?
I can think of a million advantages of a world without men. Here are just some of them:
1. We wouldn't have to worry about the toilet seat being left up
2. There'd be no pressure to marry or to get nasty bikini waxes
3. No gender descrimination
4. No unecessary women's movement
5. Less spam in our emails since there'd be none of those Viagra ads
6. No need for birth control
7. None of those tambays in the street corner who keeps on leering at you and saying, "Miss, miss! Pwede makipagkilala?"
8. No sensitive, metrosexual type guy in the club who, as the evening wears out and your conversation moves along, turns out to be gay (to your utter disappointment) just when you are expecting some bedroom action
9. No male/female MRT cars
10. Everybody listens to you
Recently a team of scientists announced they had made artificial sperm from human bone marrow, and media reports abounded with the dire news that my goodfellas (and by extension, me) had been rendered unnecessary.
If a woman chose to do so, speculated tabloid journalists, she could make sperm from her own bone marrow, fertilize another woman’s egg — and voila!

Yeah, life would seem better without men but would we want that? Without men, who would cuddle with us and kiss us and hold us in a way that makes us feel safe? Who would amuse us and pamper us and spoil us rotten? Who would tell us we look good (even when we don't)? The truth is, everything needs an opposite in order for us to achieve that perfect balance in life. We need men. We need their strength, their love, and in the best cases, their protection. Ah... And there's the SEX... Let's just leave it at that.
