Would all the women menstruate together? Yeah I know about it, I saw sex in the city.

If so, Holy Shocked what a week that would be, and every month no doubt.

Read "Y: The Last Man" it is an excellent (read: literary) comic by Brian K. Vaughan.

I don't know yet, can you get comics in SK? Western comics?

The basic synopsis is that all women go lesbian out of necessity, though some still want a man and that compicates the storyline, and as such, with the required evolution of genetic science and a lift on the ban for cloning, want ANY remaining man dead. Hilarity ensues. Really, though, it is an excellent look at gender roles and how they are essentially social constructs.


I also recommend this comic. It's a fun read but it also really puts a damper on the "I wish I was the last man on Earth" idea. So imagine ~3 billion men * 90% death rate = 2.7 billion bodies lying around.

There was a show called Sliders about parallel universe Earth hopping. Basically in one episode the group lands on a planet where most of the male population was wiped out due to some virus. (Australia remained mostly unharmed and became the new superpower). Anyhow, the guys in the group got rounded up and sent off to the breeding farms where the men there were basically kept in a gilded stud farm. Women were chosen based on superior characteristics (height, looks, intelligence) to breed with the men. The men couldn't choose and basically had sex as many times as possible during the day.

i would DENY MY ESSENCE to all but the top-caliber women.

so i would totally be getting my bone on with the smartest and hottest 10 or 15 women within several hundred miles.

so would every other guy with any sense about him.

so, like another poster said, men would have harems and it would be kind of awesome.

it would be like male lions. few male lions, many female lions, and the female lions do all the work and the males eat and bone.

awesome.

There would be a hell of a lot more car accidents. Except Korea (joking ladies).

Edit: There would be a hell of a lot of abortions.

If scientists could clone humans, then this problem would only last one generation. They could alter the fetus to make it into a boy.

How would this effect the planet?

What would you do if you were one of the remaining males?

How would this effect the remaining female population on the planet?





I believe there would be chaos at first as transportation and food suplies would be disrupted. But eventually the females would get their act together and the remaining men would be hunted down as sex slaves.

Awesome!!!!


This thought came to you recently? I've been thinking about this *beep* since high school.

How would you explain your new situation to your wife?

Actually something like this has happened in society. Paraguay fought a disastrous war which wiped out the bulk of its male population. After the war, for every living male there were about 8 or 9 women.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Triple_Alliance

Quote:
The specific numbers of casualties are hotly disputed, but it has been estimated that 300,000 Paraguayans, mostly civilians, died; up to 90% of the male population may have been killed. According to one numerical estimation, the prewar population of approximately 525,000 Paraguayans was reduced to about 221,000 in 1871, of which only about 28,000 were men. Definitively accurate casualty numbers will probably never be determined.


I believe polygamy was instituted after that. And much like Thailand today, Paraguay became something of a sex tourist destination for Europeans.

The Chechens aren't doing so well either:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4610396.stm

Even Russia females are out numbering males. Lots of Russian men are dying early from drinking, cancer, and crime.

Also near Seattle there are a couple towns built around military bases. The towns have largely been emptied of men by the Iraq war. Many a dateless Microsofty has considered a day trip to see if he can scare up a lonely woman.

recommended reading:

SCUM Manifesto, by Valerie Solanas (yeah, the womyn who shot Andy Warhol)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Solanas

http://www.womynkind.org/scum.htm

Quote:
Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex.

It is now technically feasible to reproduce without the aid of males (or, for that matter, females) and to produce only females. We must begin immediately to do so. Retaining the mail has not even the dubious purpose of reproduction. The male is a biological accident: the Y (male) gene is an incomplete X (female) gene, that is, it has an incomplete set of chromosomes. In other words, the male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage. To be male is to be deficient, emotionally limited; maleness is a deficiency disease and males are emotional cripples.

The male is completely egocentric, trapped inside himself, incapable of empathizing or identifying with others, or love, friendship, affection of tenderness. He is a completely isolated unit, incapable of rapport with anyone. His responses are entirely visceral, not cerebral; his intelligence is a mere tool in the services of his drives and needs; he is incapable of mental passion, mental interaction; he can't relate to anything other than his own physical sensations. He is a half-dead, unresponsive lump, incapable of giving or receiving pleasure or happiness; consequently, he is at best an utter bore, an inoffensive blob, since only those capable of absorption in others can be charming. He is trapped in a twilight zone halfway between humans and apes, and is far worse off than the apes because, unlike the apes, he is capable of a large array of negative feelings -- hate, jealousy, contempt, disgust, guilt, shame, doubt -- and moreover, he is aware of what he is and what he isn't.

Although completely physical, the male is unfit even for stud service. Even assuming mechanical proficiency, which few men have, he is, first of all, incapable of zestfully, lustfully, tearing off a piece, but instead is eaten up with guilt, shame, fear and insecurity, feelings rooted in male nature, which the most enlightened training can only minimize; second, the physical feeling he attains is next to nothing; and third, he is not empathizing with his partner, but is obsessed with how he's doing, turning in an A performance, doing a good plumbing job. To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he's a machine, a walking dildo. It's often said that men use women. Use them for what? Surely not pleasure.
