Half the world is male yet they are responsible for almost all of the wars, crime and cruelty.
I think it’s time we phased them out, keeping just a few as sperm donors. An all-female world will be peaceful (mostly) and will concentrate on the important things, not power and aggression.
It’s no use saying, ‘My darling little boy’s not like that’, remember every world leader was some mother’s darling.

Ok.
Are you having fun?

How do you plan to 'phase out' men?

Kate1949 Wed 12-Apr-23 09:32:31

I think they get a raw deal these days.

Whoooo men hater alert
Well I don’t think you can blame all the worlds problems on men there’s plenty of rough, foul, cruel women too
I haven’t had the best of times with some men but I still love them and what a bloody boring place we d have nothing to moan about

Having worked in an almost all female , environment, I didn’t find it particularly sweet and joyful
Where’s the fun in begetting by sperm donor ship ?

No no no…

I do hope you're joking OP.
Re men being responsible for starting wars. The men of Ukraine didn't start their war. But these brave men (and women) are prepared to fight for what they believe is right.
The majority of men, in my opinion, are decent human beings.

Very late April Fool's Joke maybe???

Otherwise a pretty awful thing to say about half of the population and a very blanket statement attributing all of the world's ills to men per se hmm

Redhead56 Wed 12-Apr-23 09:49:29

Not a man hater at all there is good and potential bad in all of us. I wonder if the population would reduce dramatically if men had babies though......

Well exactly, where's the fun.

Mind you, a great deal of change is needed given the levels domestic and other sorts of violence by men against women.

While I think this is a spoof post, equally I don't think men get a raw deal. Patriarchy. Rape statistics. Men still hugely predominate in almost all spheres.

Easy to see it's the school holidays...

I am suer that Hitler was once a sweet cooing baby - the apple of his Mum's eye. It is certainly food for thought.

Callistemon21 Wed 12-Apr-23 10:03:56

Who would do the ironing? 😲

BrightandBreezy Wed 12-Apr-23 10:04:07

Lol. I don't think it would be a more peaceful world with only a few men to go around all the women. Think of the fights and competition for the few men available. They ones kept as sperm donors would soon have a willing hareem desperate to free them to be an 'only' with them. Could make a great novel or fantasy film though. 😄🤔😳

With regard to baby Hitler, read Roald Dahl's story Genius and Catastrophe

timetogo2016 Wed 12-Apr-23 10:34:21

A bit harsh imo.
We compliment each other in many ways.
If you don`t want to be bothered with men,so be it.
There`s good and bad in all.

A friends daughter always heterosexual now has a female partner and says its the most rewarding and equal relationship she has ever had.
It cant be denied that some men, not all of course, are poor examples of humanity, especially those who work together where any criticism of bad behaviour is not acceptable within the group.
Those who say nothing are also part of the problem. I dont think they have a raw deal.

Theexwife Wed 12-Apr-23 10:37:21

I blame their mothers.

Testosterone has a lot to answer for!
