I Lied about Men and Women

I said I didn’t know what to say about the “men not working” story from the NY Times. I lied. I know perfectly well what to say.

Men are superfluous. For a long time, women had to keep men in line by flattering them with illusions of indispensability. As a strategy, it worked well enough in its time, but in an age of controlled sex selection, there is simply no need for it. Men are left to drink milk out of a carton, or wear torn underwear, or watch the White Sox.

It may be that a few will continue to bestride the earth as alphas with harems: think Genghis Kahn, think Clan Donald, think Augustus the Strong—hey, think Lucian Freud. But they are technologically unnecessary. There is nothing they need to do that cannot be done by a good turkey baster

Tribes of surplus males afflicted with testosterone poisoning are a disruptive nuisance. Tribes of males who have survived testosterone poisoning are simply a nuisance. In 100 years, they will be gone.

Comment: Who writes this tripe? Anyway, get over it. Women like men perfectly fine. They just want them to behave once in a while.

Response: Point taken. They should behave, but it doesn’t seem to come easily. Meanwhile, it is amazing what some women will put up with, rather than say good night to the weatherman.
