Back to the Idea of a Single-Gender World.

As a young woman , I read and thought of the stories and ideas of Ursula LeGuin and James Triptree Jr, who explored single- gender worlds, mostly female populated but also a gender-fluid society.
Those ideas are entertaining and thought provoking.
I am willing to entertain them again after being a spectator to these horrific evens.
We really do not need the male species any more (even pickle jars can be manufactured to be easy to open)
But seriously, guys, something has happened over the thousads of year that has worn down your DNA, so coping with stress and dissonance now causes these outbreaks of senseless behaviors.
In one science fiction story, a world wide outbreak of a viral infection kills off all the males; and women are left to cope.
I am going back to read these stories. It won't help you, dear fellows, but it will make me feel better.

While all of the mass killings we see today are certainly far beyond reproach, the modern world is actually less violent now than it has been throughout history. Let’s not forget that public hangings used to be a spectator event or that instruments of torture which were once used to cause unspeakable prolonged suffering still sit in museums today.

Oh, and if you ladies want to get rid of men with violent tendencies, then stop reproducing with them. The best way to eliminate their defective DNA from the gene pool is to stop allowing them to spread their seed. There are plenty of good, non-violent men out there sitting at home alone on Saturday night while you’re out cavorting with Harley Dangerboy.

I don't think it's a sign of the times. I think it's always been like this, more or less.

To reduce killings we should have 49% of the population die off? How you gals ever got the moniker of "The fairer sex" is beyond me. 😉

Lesbians would ruin the world 🙂

As a male, and purely that, if you knew what goes through our heads that we don’t act on ...you’d never open your door again.. Though, I’ve also heard described (in vivid detail) what many women ‘secreately want,’ which sounds to be what we’re willing to offer. So go figure 😕 But, I’ve often thought how impressive it is that ‘we men’ stay as ..civil and under control as we do.

Took the cages off several of my new fruit trees this spring. No problem all summer ..as a doe brought her fauns around to browse. Then come the bucks, pulling away wire fencing, breaking branches, knocking off fruit, defoliating anything they could reach.. We’re wired nature's way, it’s got us here, and we’ve got to deal with it.

Interesting, never read any books by those authors. Most women don't commit the violence but there are those who surround themselves voluntarily with these violent men. For example you see the partners of Kkk members and skin heads. I wonder if they'd be the type to start becoming violent in a all female society. Most men don't commit violence though more men do as opposed to women. I would think in an all male society the violence would still be perpetrated just on other males. I wonder if they'd be able to stop it.

Hmmmm.... I would miss men. But I do worry about the level of violence we are seeing from the male species.

Yes, I would miss all the men I knew, But should we let the world go down in flames?

@Spinliesel I'm not sure we have a choice.
