No males needed for reproduction in the world of nature
What would happen if there were no men?
This planet has for thousands of years been controlled and run by men with devastating results that have brought us to the point where the very future is uncertain and insanity, poverty, fear, death and destruction have become a part and parcel of life in the world as we know it. A male-run, or patriarchal society and culture, is based around domination, suppression and competitiveness and it is enforced by armies and police forces who use increasingly more dangerous weapons and technology.
So what is the solution to this nightmare? Leaving out the arrival of messianic deities, rescuing friendly aliens and non-existent superheros, it has been proposed that matriarchy is that answer, and not only will the world be run by women but that thousands of years in the future males as a gender will no longer exist here amongst the human species.
Many people find this hard to conceive or accept but we need to ask ourselves what are males for and what purpose do males serve? The simple answer is that they enable genetic diversity via sexual reproduction. But what a cost to the planet and its other life forms as well as the majority of the human species!
There are other species of life that manage with genetic variation but have done away with males. There are actually very many types of animals, both vertebrates and invertebrates, that reproduce without males and without sexual intercourse but there are none in which there are only males. This proves that it is the female that is the source of all life.

Parthenogenesis
Water fleas (Daphnia species), some types of aphid, nematode worms, rotifers, some species of bee, various phasmids including the Indian Stick Insect (Carausius morosus ), certain geckos and lizards, including the massive Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis ), some fish such as the Hammerhead Shark species(Sphyrna ), are all able to reproduce without males. This method of reproduction is known as parthenogenesis.
Wikipedia defines this form of reproduction as follows: "Parthenogenesis (from the Greek παρθένος parthenos , "virgin", + γένεσις genesis , "creation") is an asexual form of reproduction found in females where growth and development of embryos occurs without fertilization by a male."
The Marbled Crayfish or Marmorkrebs reproduces by parthenogenesis and all of these crustaceans are females. They live in Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and Madagascar where they are believed to have been introduced by aquarists. The origin of these crayfish remains unknown.
The Indian Stick Insect produces generation after generation of females. Males, it is said can occur, but they are so rare that they can be regarded as non-existent and are certainly not needed for the species to survive.
This insect is often kept as a pet so many people will be familiar with it but perhaps not realising that it is an animal that has no need of males.
The Whiptail Lizard (Cnemidophorus neomexicanus ) is a reptile that can reproduce by parthenogenesis and can also breed via sexual intercourse with males of closely related species C. inornatus and C. tigris .
For lizards this has given them the advantage of not only not needing the two sexes in order to carry on their kind but also has made it possible for them to colonise new territory. A female lizard can be washed up on an island where she is the only one but can nevertheless lay eggs.
In the Honeybee (Apis mellifera ), although males are required to fertilise the queen, this is there only function and the drones are thrown out of the hive to die after the queen has mated. The worker bees are all non-reproductive females. The male is only needed for sex and has no other purpose for this species of highly successful social insect.
Highly respected, though controversial, geneticist Dr Bryan Sykes, who is a professor at Oxford University, in his book Adam's Curse: A Future Without Men , (Bantam), has suggested that men will have died out here within 100,000 years.
That the spiritual creator of the universe and this world is female is not a new idea at all. The Kogi tribe of the Sierra Nevada mountain in Columbia refer to their Mother for the Earth and for the divine creator. The men, who are the leaders of the Kogis as shamans and priests, are actually called Mamas or Mamos, echoing the maternal link to creation.These people are one of the oldest surviving native people that have preserved their culture and traditions with no outside influences.
It was known long ago that the divine creator was and is a Goddess and the sun was originally worshipped as female. This got changed over to a male solar deity to disguise this fact as the patriarchal system was introduced by men. The Goddess never went away though - she just got hidden!
Guru Rasa von Werder believes she has the divine mission of ushering in a world of matriachy to replace the patriarchal one that has brought so much suffering and misery to the lives of countless billions of people for thousands of years and has resulted in the extinction of so many forms of life.
Matriarchy puts forward the idea that male humans have had all these millennia to prove themselves worthy of being able to run the world but have demonstrated they have been unable to do so without causing death and destruction to its populations, the planet's wildlife and the natural environments. Surely it is mostly men that have been responsible for wars, invasions, conquests, slavery and rape of their victims? The mainly male political leaders have shown again and again that they are also liars as well as war-mongers.
Isn't it mainly male inventors with what appears to be a culture of death that have devised greater and greater forms of weaponry including the nuclear bomb? Not content with devastation on the planet it appears that those behind the military are now intent on star wars and weaponising space.
What logic is there in allowing this destructive behaviour to continue? Is it not logical for the creator of this beautiful world to take steps to remove those who are busy destroying life on it?

Thank you for your detailed feedback on this!
Ok while it may be entertaining to ponder the absence or possible future disappearance of the male gender within humans there is a reason why males exist. Some people like to point out that other creatures reproduce asexually. This is true. However I can't think of any mammals that do. As a mater of fact nothing that is more advanced than a reptile does. There is a reason for this. The science of genetics is not nearly as advanced as some would lead you to believe. They are discovering new and very interesting things almost every day. Gene switching for example. I won't bore you with the details, but
Needless to say genes and how they interact are not as simplistic as some people believe. If the human race began to reproduce asexually through cloning. We would most likely become extinct (very much like scientists predict that the whiptail lizard will within the next 10,000 years or so). This is because human evolution would most likely stagnate. And in nature stagnation of a species usually means extinction. Keep in mind that most species that have ever lived are now extinct. Meddling with the dynamic of our genes may not be the best strategy. Especially since we are far from fully understanding genetics and the long term effects of altering our natural evolutionary path. Furthermore, believe it or not scientists are beginning to find evidence that males are largely responsible for our relatively fast evolutionary rate. Remember in nature those that can not adapt typically die out.
There are scientists that are finding evidence that the male sperm cell actually makes very small adaptive changes throughout a mans life depending on his environment that may give his offspring a slight edge. This is because men produce sperm throughout their lives. Women on the other hand have a fixed number of eggs at birth that do not change.
So like I said their is a genetic dynamic that science is just barely beginning to understand that has guided the evolutionary success of the human race both male and female.
Very interesting hub!

Thanks for your feedback!
I wonder how many people are aware of Russellian Science. I've come across it recently and I think it (at least some of it) is very relevant to this subject. This is a four and a half minute video which offers a very interesting perspective on the creation and presence of life regarding gender.
Oh this topic is becoming a sensation..Bard of Ely must be proud of it...I never imagined a big name like Guru Rasa commenting in this..Its very interesting to see her here..although I am in the opposition I have a great respect towards her ..She is undoubtedly one of the strongest women in the world(Little aggressive too)....
Oh boy now you've pissed off Mother. (Mother: Guru Rasa is a very prestigious and world famous Matriarch, First Female Body Building Champion of the world, among many other things.) I tried to tell you guys. I personally love her shorter version that is straight to the point. I felt her arrival would be soon due to energy fields we are both in tune with. Mother Rasa is our elder Matriarch it's best to pay attention, as I previously said.
Wabond and Bard of Ely are the best portals on the web to connect with them, and others who do see the light. For those who choose to ignore facts and what is happening, by all means carry on as usual. Come to terms with the facts instead of debating them while your own future slips away.
Aha, men kicking & screaming again, & again, & again, when the simple bare facts are stated - the truth. Their misguided egos are hurt, they are smashed. Why don't we just leave them alone & let them destroy the world & everything in it? Oh, yes, now it is obvious THEY ARE TRYING TO DESTROY NATURE, & IF THEY COULD, THEY WOULD! Monsanto, trying to stop raw milk, real seeds replaced by genetic monsters, hybrids, adding human & animal into grains, all kind of evil doings. The list goes on, but right now I cannot continue this monologue as I have to step out. MEN ARE KILLING THIS PLANET & MOTHER GOD IS TAKING THEM OUT. IT ISN'T HITLER, IT'S GOD. GOD MADE A DECISION. MALES ARE HARMFUL, SO HARMFUL, THAT SHE DOES NOT WANT THEM HERE ANY MORE. GOOD BYE MEN - 100,000. years or so, give or take 25,000. Good bye men, not soon enough, all life on earth will breath a sigh of relief. William Bond & Bard of Ely speak the truth & agree to it - they see the light, they have no ego problems, they speak honest truth. No man of any character would want continued what human males are doing - they are truly SUBHUMAN, sub-animal (as we are a species of animal, we are apes.) Bard, I will get to this later. The males screaming here have severe ego problems, little egos, small self esteem, scared to be going extinct.
Once again hearing a whole lot of "opinion" here. I find it to be fruitless to engage in a discussion with a person (any person) who is merely angered by factual statements posed in this hub. A method in psychology is used without anyone realizing when reviewing, analyzing, discussing or writing opposition to any given subject. It is so much more effective to stick with facts than to debate ones negative, narrow minded, one sided opinion.
Study Matriarchy, Historic families, clans, communities, and matrilineal lines of the past. Become familiar with the facts and successes of women throughout time, and then make a viable contribution in an unbiased manner. That would be the intelligent way of approaching something you oppose due to a lack of understanding it. Foreign methods of operation usually will prompt a human response of nervousness, unease, agitation, and more. Some of the "opinions" here reflect that, and also that they are just that...uniformed opinions of something unknown to them.
It wouldn't be fair to rate, grade, score and assess any woman working within a patriarchal type structure, because they were initially forced to comply, and conform in the first place. Not a very logical set up to begin with. Unless they are given the full opportunity of power to create a better way of life it will never be know what could have been. At this point in time WE ARE cleaning up after men, period. There lies nothing to debate about that, it's all out in the open for everyone to see.
I recall a statement in the christian bible where Jesus said, "I tell you the truth why do not believe me"? Yes I have read the christian bible, plus. From my studies into various religions I evolved through Divine Mother, Goddess Theology, in a Love based methodology. Why did I evolve into this? It was a natural occurrence of advancement and learning. As well as profound messages, and visions of a great society and structure for all life, and our planet. Please if you find an area of fault with this, then I would recommend revamping this thinking process. As history will demonstrate and reflect...women have NOT been given a fair chance. Those who oppose this change that is inevitable, and necessary expose themselves, and all they have not learned yet.
Imagine if women had been running the planet the whole time how much more these wonderful men of our history could have accomplished in a harmonic well balanced society. We would be so much more advanced than our current regressed status as we are now. We are still very primitive as beings and our horrendous ill focus, and incorrect priorities will continue to jeopardize our survival.
Formulating solutions v. mud slinging, Love v. hate, balance v. chaos, Food v. war, and so on. You get the idea right? Do you want to be thought of with Love, or would you prefer to be calculated as an expendable number on a (males) spreadsheet, because his prostitution expenses are mounting. Just ask the governor, or wait the former pres., whoooops, almost forgot that senator...and let's not forget the 60,000 men looking for women on one of the dating sites I evaluated. They only have about 6000 women to choose from on there. Gee I'm having a problem with making these numbers jive, guys.
It is the men who need the women to run the planet, in a final straw that is about to break the camels back. It is the women who have the best chance of preventing the extinction of the male species. If we allow things to continue as they are with no new options or changes, males will talk themselves right out of life itself. So my friends keep arguing, and keep attacking women all you want. In the end who do you think will be left? It's best to direct your lack of understanding towards factual evidence from geneticists, and others who spend their live researching, and studying this. It is all of mankind, wildlife, and the planet at stake here. Get past what you thought you knew, and move on to a higher plateau of understanding. What has been taught, and drilled into all of us in the past has been confirmed to be incorrect. From this day on nothing will ever be as we remember it. This I can assure you of.
There is much evidence present here that a Matriarchy is not really understood. If many of you understood it, you would all feel a bit silly. You are opposing something that is good, right, and productive for you too. Nobody is slighted in this type of structure, and you actually gain more because of it. Since the world has indeed changed drastically, let's try and gear our minds towards advancement so that we may afford ourselves the option of discussing it again in the future, after we have actually solved the problems of today. It's more about focus, than hateful fighting. Although presently women around the world are forced to fight for rights, consideration, and merely survive to bring in a better future. It's typical to see men oppose that, and it's very predictable.
One of the prestigious people I work with was a direct part of the building of the first nuclear power plant, the first electricity plant, the first fossil fuel combustible plant, and much more. He himself (being our elder) in helping build a better society today run by women. People didn't just make this stuff up. I, they, and others spent my/their lives educating themselves to better humanity, wildlife and the planet. For all the opposers here I have this one question. What will your contribution to humanity, wildlife, and the planet be?
The fact that there is no involvement, positivity, or demonstration that you can expand your mind and let new data in shows your particular area of focus. Opposition of women ruling the planet also exposes your fear for what they may do to men, in spite of the long history of crimes against women that are documented. Luckily in a Matriarchy harmonic balance is achieved which protects people from past resentments.
Rise above all of this for the sake of our future. Please pay attention to the facts, and indisputable evidence of the here and now. Being wise today sets our chance of for tomorrow. It doesn't matter what you think...we were all meant to work together in harmony. It would be interesting if any one of these opposing comments went back over them, and rewrote them from a position of Love...I bet they would all be very different. Try it as your guide in life, and see how different the results are. Either way I still love all of you...got any opposition for that? lol :)
Discovery of nuclear energy is a milestone in human history..Nuclear energy is the promise of the future..But America used that for their own interests..Every coin has two sides.So the growing militarization in the world is a secret agenda and need of arm companies..Even eminent women like Hilary and condeleesa advocated for them.It is a corporate strategy and nothing associated with male pride or ego..Both men and women are responsible for this..

Echoing myself: "Isn't it mainly male inventors with what appears to be a culture of death that have devised greater and greater forms of weaponry including the nuclear bomb?"
Where do vast amounts of money go on a regular basis but to the military machine of all nations and to warfare? Can any of you tell me that women are responsible for this?
This is absurd.
-Female leaders would not lie
Women lie all the time. I don't hate women for it, it is just them being a girl.
-Comparing Homo sapiens with asexual arthropods and reptiles
We are not invertebrates and reptiles. We are sentient mammalian organisms
-Men are useless to human society
Automobile, lightbulb, nuclear energy, sonnet, art(Many female artists, but many reputable male artists, such as Picasso, Rivera, Michelangelo), astronomy(Galileo, Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler), astrophysics, chemistry, mathematics, railroads, literature, computers, the list goes on and on. No one can say that males are of no use to this advancing society of science and reason.
-Women are "superior" to men
Women should be of equal stature to men, even if they only had a minute sliver of the innovation of males. Women, like negroes, should settle with equality for all, rather than dominating the other, and thus, ending up a hypocrite, and a fool.
-Some comments above relate this topic to religious references
Religion is the bane of humanity. Religion of any sort must be omitted from any topic of science and/or politics.
Jake,,I agree with you.Today's world is entropic, there are many problems destroying World peace and security.But I will never say only men are responsible for this..
I do not understand.
Men discovered electricity, created microchips, created the first computers and software and then the Internet but a woman is forced to stoop down from her lofty throne of genetic superiority to use these barbaric devices?
Is this a parody site or are you actually crazy?
There was another person who wanted to eradicate an entire group of peoples once because he thought they were bad for the rest of the world, his name was Hitler.
I haven't seen any men say anything about the human race being better off without women, yet you are spouting these horrible words about men being bad for the planet and for the human species as a whole, so who is really the malevolent one, the male population? Or you?
And yet even with all this nonsense you have written, i don't wish for you or your gender to be eradicated from the planet, i just wish that you change your point of view, look in the mirror and stop generalising and stereotyping people.
We have to start somewhere. I have a disclaimer on my profile explaining that my grammar and writing skills are not up par. I learn more about my writing as I go. There is a good site that I use which is is: http://www.spellchecker.net It has a grammar section too. I found it to be very useful, and of course it's free. I use it to teach myself where I make mistakes in my writings.
You may also like to visit http://matriarchlifestyle.webs.com/ to read more about Matriarchy from both women and men. I have several hubs about it too. I will follow you here on hubpages too, as will others I'm sure.
I will consider that...But my English is not up to the mark and there is every possibility of grammatical and spelling errors..If everybody can adjust with it..Then no prblm..
Aswin Thank you for that synopsis. Some of my closest friends are Hindu/Indian. One of my friends speaks all the Indian languages, and studied all the different faiths, including other faiths outside the indian culture. He is an international attorney in India, but lives here in NY. I told him once not to become so americanized, because his own culture is so beautiful. Unfortunately once you live here, you are forced to change some what. I embrace other culture to learn and grow, and I am drawn to you for that.
I think everyone here at hubpages would agree that helping educate us on your culture would be so important. Have you considered creating some hubs. I think they would be very welcomed. My friend Nicki who is also Hindu was recently educating me on how names are chosen in your culture. I am always interested in anything you would be willing to write about to help educate everyone.
Consider joining hubpages there is so much everyone needs to know. I am glad we are able to learn from you, and hope you feel the same. I look forward to doors you may open in some new hubs about the indian culture. Thank you for choosing to advance with us towards a better future. Although it will not be perfect, we should continue to strive for that balance and perfection.
You're welcome Steve! Still adding your music around the websites. Thank you for all the great hubs you create! We are all connected:)
Certainly ms..brainfire..I comes from a Hindu Nair family..Nair is a caste(I think u are unaware of caste?)..And Nair caste is a very important and significant topic in matriarchal studies,,because Nair is regarded as a powerful matriarchal clan..
But it is just a misconception..The medieval Nair caste followed a matrilineal but not a matriarchal system..Contemporary Nair culture is different as it abolished matrilineality somewhere around 1960s and it now follows the Hindu way of inheritance..
About Hinduism..
Words cant describe Hinduism..because it is vast and unique..It has no dated origin and it is the only polytheist religion that overcame the aggressive conversions of Christianity and Islam.
Hinduism mainly have 4 sects..Vaishnavism,Shaivism,Shakthism and Smarthism..
Vaishnavism treats Lord Vishnu as the supreme God and Shaivism considers Lord Mahadeva(Shiva) as the supreme God..Shaktism is the sect that considers Mother Goddess(Adhi ParaSakthi) as the supreme Deity..Smarthism is based on Rituals and Practises ..
But majority of Indians(including me) considers all Gods and worship Shiva, Vishnu and Mother Goddess..But my caste(Nairs) has a culture of Serpent Worship(Naga Dhaiva)..and we continue this with pride..
Ms Brainfire..If u are interested in our culture pls feel free to contact me through mail..I am always at ur help..
Aswin you may also be interested in knowing a trained Hindu Astrologer did my numerology and confirmed I am doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing. Going back as far as childhood I have been receiving visions of a great society of people. It is what "nature" intended all along. Love and peace to you.
Aswin I have to say thank you. It is not necessary to feel sorry or pity. I believe we are all chosen to experience particular things in this journey of life. We are not to question it but to love and accept it. You and I have both done this, and it has allowed us to advance and grow with each other. Despite the distance between us we can show how Love can prevail. My intention is to face what life will bring us...together.
I am a female that hopes we can correct our way of life to allow us the freedom to experience it with both females and males. I happen to love all people. I too am aggressive, but as a matter of survival. In time these imbalances will taper off and we will achieve this balance. It will take time and effort. Historically you and I have actually made history together.
I am forgiving of anything you write, and I am aware of my own ignorance of many things. It is the driving force to keep me learning with a smile. I could never know enough no matter how long I study. I am ignorant about your culture which I love by the way, and your language is one of my favorites. It has a very flowing frequency to me. Maybe we could set the right example to demonstrate that even through harsh words, or misunderstandings Love is still the guide.
I share all knowledge I learn with everyone. Learning about your culture and language is something that is special to me. It would be an honor to know more about your Goddesses and how they are worshipped. So instead of thinking negative thoughts about what we might lack in understanding, we turn it into a positive which can then help all people advance right beside us.
I think we created a predestined example of how people will work together in spite of many differences. We are only ignorant until we learn. Peace and Love will find us all. Just like it found you and I. Forgiven:)
Madame,
I am sorry for my last comment..I was way too aggressive in that..sorry for hurting you..from ur profile i read that u suffered from a lot of unfortunate incidents , but came back strongly..Hats off to u for that..
U says I am ignorant..may be..I accept it..everybody are ignorant before the Lord Almighty..isn't it..Iam ignorant..
sorry if any of my comments hurt u,I never intended...Forgive...
First and foremost. Thank you for proving my point. I may consider taking you on a tour with me for use as an example the extreme damage a coercive patriarch society causes. I would actually use you as the example to present to the body of people who are open to learning "correct" methods of living. To be able to receive information one must remain open in the mind. Yes there is an actual correct way to live on planet earth. Since I discuss this exact equation of life with scientists normally, we'll skip that with you for now.
You dared to write so arrogantly but you failed to realize how you have now exposed yourself. I would recommend printing this hub and comments and bring it to a local psychology professional to get some help with your issues about women. I'm telling you for my self, and for many other women I bet...You are a major turn off. But that probably hadn't dawned on you because you are so busy being consumed by your arrogant ignorance. It's the equivalent of having cob webs in the brain. You would need to do a clean sweep of your mental baggage, defrag mentally, and then start from scratch. I suspect you could possibly have elevated testosterone levels with a lack of chemical balance too, (let us know what your blood works shows). When one is rendered closed one is no longer a receiver to learn and advance. You have provided me with the necessary proof of the long term damage aspect of mental manipulation.
From a psychology/naturopathy position you have also demonstrated an example of "mental mania" I see no questions. Nor would I waste my time answering you. Come back after you become educated and then you may be able to hold your own on this subject. To date what you and a few others wrote here should be filed in the eternal bog of stench.
What I would love to see analyzed is your level of brainwashing. I would guess it's between 70% - 90%+. Please correct me (with actual proof) if I am wrong. There in lies the true facts.
I have chosen to comment here to counter your ignorant writing, and expose your arrogance, (and btw you did a fine job of that, thank you), and convert the negativity you wrote to a positive. The fact is you are weak in the area of knowledge about women, or Matriarchy, and yet giving yourself away in attack mode as we expected you to do. You actually made yourself the example of what the hub is about in the first place.
Thank you Bard we both always pick very sparkling subjects for the uninformed to pollinate from. The objective is to educate and take flight. Higher plateaus of enlightenment can be reached through Bard Of Ely's writings. Should one be humble enough to allow it in.
How can u assume me as an ignorant and arrogant fellow?..This is the typical nature of many women esp..feminists..They just jump into conclusions without any analysis..I asked specific questions..And u replied with some unrelated answers and boring explanations..Be specific in ur comments..
If women are the supreme beings on Earth ..then how could the "inferior" menfolk control them?The sign of superiority is dominance..Lion is the superior animal in the jungle because it "dominates" other species..
U are believing in some prophecies and foolishness and assumes that men will get vanished from the Earth ...gross observation..totally gross
If a species get vanished ..They will disappear as a whole..This is clear cut feminist fascism where u consider women as the "angels" and men as the demons..This is in par with religious fascism were one religion is considered supreme..
Look ,if u are for a debate...answer to the specific questions..and avoid personal comments.
There is nothing like being steadfast in ignorance. You have demonstrated it perfectly. I pray you meet women who have the patience to help you expand to higher plateaus of awareness. It is precisely this type of thinking that has facilitated humanities demise, and complete indifference as to the planets survival. The arrogance of the male species has indeed rendered themselves useless by this mindset.
As you continue to write you expose yourself with what you do not know. Not knowing about a subject you dare to delve into puts you in the spotlight of pure ignorance. By all means carry on as you are, and know this: It is you who will be the minority species at some point in the future.
The rest of us have evolved to an appropriate solution, and unfortunately in that equation there is no room for what you have been previously programmed to believe. It's actually not your fault, as it is what you were probably taught. What is your fault that lies within is if you do not learn to differentiate between what is real and what is not. I beg to differ with you, men DO NOT make good leaders as history will demonstrate.
I find your level of ignorance to be monumental and you should consider the fact that YOU are a male, and you have been brainwashed, programmed, and conditioned to think this way. Always remember there is more you don't know, than you do know.
As a matter of fact, it is the MAJORITY of men, and if you do not like what your cohorts are doing, then it you who needs to make the change and set a better example. However it's quite obvious your views are skewed by your arrogance of being a male in the first place. It's a fact that upon conception you WERE a female. In order to become a male something had to be lost in the completion of development. It is fact that females ARE the Supreme being here on planet earth. In order to post any comment here, (to me) it would behoove you arm yourself with FACTS. Not Your mere opinion, which by the way I find to be underwhelming.
You have nothing against women? What you write tells otherwise. You are a typical product of your own environment, and I find you to be uninformed, very arrogant, and extremely ignorant. However I don't hold you responsible for that. What you become...well that's totally up to you. For me it is a fruitless process to waste precious time debating the future with ignorant men, who still do not see clearly, and maintain the same destructive mindset. Good luck, you are going to need it.
@brainfire
Madame..i told earlier..i have nothing against women..I am a Hindu and my religion has many female deities whom we worship as Mother Goddesses..
But at the same time ,i am against the prototyping of men as intruders,molesters,rapists and killers..Some of us may be like that..But majority not..
I am a firm believer of socialism and a social setup where everybody can live peacefully and nobody is born or raised in poverty and destitution..
But i opposes both patriarchy and matriarchy..I believe in a government run by people for the people,the democracy ..and i realize that men are better leaders so naturally they get an upper hand in such a system..That is not patriarchy..that is sheer potential..

Thank you for posting your feedback on this, Dawn, and your compliments about my music and hubs!
In a Matriarchy there is no room for that kind of dictation and way of thinking. Men no longer hand down commands, conditions, or personal agendas that people feel inclined to follow. They lost their credibility long ago and please do not take my word for it research it yourself. They achieved this astounding feat all by themselves and arrogantly at that. Should you have an issue with these facts I display here you can certainly move to create a movement to correct it with all your male friends. According to genetic research men are causing themselves to become extinct. Hmmmm...I wonder if we can stop it...could women gain the full cooperation of men. I think in time they could.
Today as we stand before the incredible pile of rubble created and left by men...those acts in themselves are what yielded their appropriate results and consequences. Made to order. Keeping in mind you are operating on about 30 % of your brains capacity.
Try expanding your narrow view and preprogrammed ill data a little. Imagine what a future could be like without the horrifying news that is pumped into the brains of our children daily. Do you like our world today? Do you relish in the extreme plight of people around you? Many men speak through ignorance. What they fail to realize is it exposes them and their negative glow quickly so they can be avoided more easily. Nobody has time to spend on past failed thinking or mindset. The rest of us are already way past that ignorant stage, and have moved on to the solutions. Unless you are speaking from fact, study, and direct involvement and understanding of what a Matriarchy is, you should reserve that position for people who are fluent in it. More ignorance, and brainwashing stands out from your writing than anything else. Respect the subject you claim to want to know more about. Lose the macho patriarch attitude and conditional dictation MO. That's what got all of the men into this in the first place. Go to the popular dating sites. See for yourself what is happening. Look how many men looking for women there are. Then look at how many women are looking for men. Not looking too good for men and individually you have to start to shed the old way of thinking, and adapt to what is appropriate to make sure they don't finally destroy the earth and everything on it.

Oh, and by the way...Welcome to the new future. Women are already doing the job while you are sleeping or preoccupied. I too was ignorant until I became educated. A mere step onto the right path. Stroll with us, and you may learn some amazing things about women you never imagined. May love find you, and anyone else who visits Bard's hubs!

These women are a minority when contrasted with all the male war-making leaders. The reason anyone, male or female, follows religions is because they are very powerful tools for human manipulation and that is why the billions have been controlled by them. You are clearly someone who cannot handle the idea of women running the world, why are you so against this?
And may I ask u a question...If thats the case..Then why many highly educated and independent women follows these religions?
and also religions have lost their authority and controls.Theocratic societies are a folk tale now..So men are still powerful means they deserve it..
And men used wars for development..Not like women who used it for conserving their power...
examples...Indira Gandhi fought a war and brutally suppressed Khalisthan upriising in Punjab killing thousands of people
Madame Nhu of Vietnam was notorious for her fascism and killed numerous buddhist monks and destroyed their monasteries..
You need more examples???? Cleopatra,isabella,Catherine,Bloody mary,Catherine..
There was never a successful society ruled by women..

I disagree with you! You admit that "still men are the dominant race.." and I would add that yes, it is corporations that have made this mess and the leaders/owners of these are nearly all men! As for patriarchy having gone, I would say hardly - how many billions of people are followers of the patriarchal religions of Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Catholicism and the new religion/cults of Mormonism and Jehovah's Witness with their male gods and patriarchal religious dogma?
If as you say "We got a brain.." it has not been used very well to create a world full of starvation, poverty, pollution, crime, insanity and illness and with scientific inventions for killing and destruction!
""This world was created by men..from inventing laws of natural sciences to developing technologies ,it was the male brain that caused all these changes.." - yes indeed, and look at the insane nightmare state it is in!"
What the hell..if the world is in danger then its due to the greediness of the corporates..They want to sell their goods and extract the last drop of natural resources of the developing and poor nations..Many women are also having pivotal roles in this capitalist policy..
Its not due to patriarchy or men..Men and women are equally responsible for this..
contrary to ur view,,patriarchy has vanished from most parts of the world (except some Islamic countries),today's world give an equal opportunity to both sexes..But still men are the dominant race...why?...because they got more power and potential..also they are the better leaders..Its the way nature is decided..U spent much time giving examples for matriarchal societies in insects and ants..Human beings are not insects..We got a brain..Only the fit person will reach the apex position..

"This world was created by men..from inventing laws of natural sciences to developing technologies ,it was the male brain that caused all these changes.." - yes indeed, and look at the insane nightmare state it is in!
world without males????.....hmmmm
Think twice before writing such articles..
This world was created by men..from inventing laws of natural sciences to developing technologies ,it was the male brain that caused all these changes..Women were there but may be one or two like Marie curie..
The general perception one get after reading this post is that men are demons and women are angels..it is a misconception..Women are known for their power greediness..From Margaret thatcher to Indira Gandhi there are many examples..a woman ruler will be more of an autocrat than a democrat..
She will take extreme( often suicidal) steps for preserving her authority..Actually a woman has more hatred towards another woman than a man..they can compromise with a man but never get along with another woman..The monster in law-daughter in law cat fights are an example for this..There is a saying" two heads can be joined but never 4 breasts" ..
If a matriarchal society is established ,it will be the most entropic society..Men will make wars but the females will be using all sorts of emotional warfares to settle the scores..

I just type in is the Y chromsome evoling and I just went on from there.

Where did you do your research? Your sources of info?
very well, at last you know now, now it's up to you how you wish to see it, hay just so you know I did some research on the Y chromsome and what I found will shock you, the Y chromsome is evoling fast and when it reachers a high level it joins itself to the X chromsome making a K chromsome making the species look female but it has both male and female genes it can make eggs with the female genes and can make sperm to fertilize it with the male genes it does this inside the body, now I believe one day all those "all female" species will have males again because a X chromsome will make itself into a Y chromsome just like the one befor it and the circle will continue over again, makes sense don't it?

You are entitled to your opinions so I have approved this but I do not agree with you!
You see what I mean you didn't listen to what I sad and that's why you'll never get into heaven, you know what you women can have the wolrd at last in heaven I won't have to put up with women like you trying to to make men thinke their nothing men are worth more then women in the afterlife because there is no need to give birth in heaven, and so you know you are no different from all the others who think that women are better will if they are why do they make good men do bad things huh? why do good men get hurt and treated badly and evil women get away with everything, will? you see it's you women who make lifes problems not men and until you see that this world will suffer, and don't say it's men's fault because it's not it's your fault and you know it, and it's about time you admit it if you want the world to be a better place let go of your pride as a women because it will lead you to your doom

What a load of rubbish!
You fool It's women who are dying out not men because the male y chromosome is evolving fast and that in the next 20000 years theie will be no more women because men cold always can get pregnat just that they can't make eggs... yet, you have only shown bugs, reptiles and fishes, mammals are different so it could be the other way around and just so you know YHWH(god) is male not female because he has a wife be the name of Asherah and so you know YHWH hates women and always has because you women are ungrateful for all the good things that men do for you and when you see one thing in them you don't like you always say "men never did anything good for me" and that's why 99% for women will end up in hell, men get off this because women play them for fools so you see you can not win YHWH is the living god and the last thing he want's is women in heaven thinking they are better than him oh and Asherah hates women too because you women give all femlaes a bad name. but why am I saying this? it's not like you women will listen anyway because you think it's all about you well it's not so grow up.

No problem at all ^^ Like I said, it was a wonderous read so in return deserves a positive feedback.
Isis was a nickname given to me due to some similarities between my friends character 'Isis' (she was writing a story at the time) and myself. She started calling me 'Isis' as a joke but later would spread to other people so soon I started answering to the nickname lol~
I found the crossing of my nickname and what you were watching rather amusing. =)

Thank you for this great feedback, Isis! And as a matter of synchronicity, I was just watching some videos of Olivia Robertson of the Fellowship of Isis!

I myself have been curious about this theory of the female sex outliving the male in the many years to come. It is also mentioned that females have a fairer longer life expectancy than their male counterparts- that is clearly seen starting at birth (females are usually more healthier than males when born). While I have nothing against males, I do personally think that things may have been different if it were females that took hold of the reigns. Yes, females are far too emotional but isn't that what's needed when trying to negotiate with a foreign country? (especially if that country too is run by a female) Or having maternal instincts when taking care of their own country and its people?
Plus, after many years of the woman being the keeper of the houshold- I think it would be something if she opened the front door and one day decided to extend her range. Just a thought ^^

Thank you, Spirit Whisperer!
This is an excellent hub and I can't fathom why HP had any issue with it. I myself view the male and female energy as essential components of the whole just as red and blue are at opposite ends of the visible spectrum. There is no good or bad except that the female energy symbolised by the right brain emotional subconscious has not been taken seriously for quite some time and relegated to the position of second class citizen and chattel whereas the male energy symbolised by the left brain logical intellect has been given way too much importance. In order to restore balance we need to stop elevating the intellect to such a place of importance. That means our education system, which is completely geared toward the promotion of the intellect at the expense of the imagination and creativity, needs to be completely overhauled. The future rests with our children and nothing will change as long as we keep telling them that male energy is superior! I thoroughly enjoyed your very thought provoking hub. The reaction you have received speaks for itself.Kudos to you! Voted up and awesome.

Excellent, feedback, Ron, although I don't agree with the last paragraph. The Common Toad has surplus of males because the females get killed in the spawning season by males who pile on top of them and cause them to drown.
When we look at the animal world, we would see the focus is always on the female.
Perhaps the human male can use a lesson from the animal world such as with the Redback Spider. Mating is always fatal for the male Redback because he knows the female is what is important. While the female mates many times in her live time of over 3 years, at least one male always dies when she does. The male mate once as it is always fatal for him and the male lives for only 3 months as opposed to 3 years for her. The male actually forfeits his life to assure the female survives by jumping in front of her knowing she will kill and eat him.
Now I would not expect men to die after mating with us but there are other ways males can acknowledge that it is they, the male who are the most expendable sex such as with wars.
A New York Times report states:
Civilians have borne the brunt of modern warfare, with 10 civilians dying for every soldier in wars fought since the mid-20th century, compared with 9 soldiers killed for every civilian in World War I, according to a 2001 study by the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Since some of the civilians would be male, we can assume that not all of the civilian are women and children and remember at least some of the children will be male also but it does appear that the last war where few women were killed was WW1.
Of course the best war is no war but the next best one is one in which no women would be harmed although that is just a nicer way of saying that only males should be killed
Some examples would be that in the Persian wars with Sparta, in ten years over a million and a half people died and they were all males. In the Civil War, 660,000 males died while only 60 women died. Some I know think the women should have been better protected even if more males died and I would agree with this
Throughout the natural world, males always have a higher death rate than do the females and we see this in humans also. Does not this show that the female is the superior sex in the animal world and that in humans, women are the superior gender and males are the inferior one?

I have a hub about the Kogi here! Thank you for your feedback!
There isn't any going back to Indian living upon the earth so what is life now in this world other than a series of cash registers until you die. Only a few remote Tribes even come close to living the Old Way or Orignal way upon the earth such as the Kogi people/Tribe that escaped the slaughter of the Spanish shortly after the Spanish arrived.
The Kogi were able to get to a remote enough place where they were able to fairly continue on living simply with the earth, & one another as a Tribe. They still live the way of the Circle, where now people live under one form or another of man's worldly governments that form a Pyramid like the one on the back of the dollar bill.
Those at the top of the pyramid rule over those all down through the pyramid.

Yes, I am referring to the "dictators" you refer to and the men behind them who tell them what to do - the whole lot are mainly psychopaths or dictators. They dictate what is going on and they don't care less about people or about causing untold suffering and deaths. They are all male! Give me some examples of females in power to prove your point and counter my argument.
When I look at aggressive acts among people, as I have said, it has been nearly all from males. I have been beaten up by boys as a boy, had my arm broken by boys, my collar bone broken by being pushed off a barn by a teenage male, mugged by young guys in a city centre and had to go into hospital, I have been punched in the mouth several times by men, and been run over by a man. Against that I can say I was hit by a woman teacher when I first went to school and a lesbian woman once hit me in the face in a club. That's it for physical violence by females.
So in my personal experience I am bound to disagree with you when you say "when looking at common aggressive acts among people women actually are more commonly the perpetrator."
All the scars and damage inflicted on my body has been my men or boys - fact! I admit I have emotional and psychological damage by females but all the physical is by men or boys. Therefore in my personal experience, without considering anything more than that, it is obvious that I would decide that men and boys are more dangerous than girls and women.
the stick insect actually illustrates my point perfectly. Why would a species develop the ability to breed without males when there are plenty to go around??? The stick insect has very few males so it makes sense that females would do this. Insects are also much simpiler organisms so the chance that a mutatation occurs from cloning themselves is much less.
I would say that it doesn't disqualify them... even though its more common among males it is FAR from the norm... to whom are you referring when you say "pychopaths". most countries are ruled by dictators is that who you are talking about?
Again i dont think news or murder stats are accurate when dealing with agression... these are extreme cases and could be described as extraneous... when looking at common aggressive acts among people women actually are more commonly the perpetrator.

The only creatures that live asexually every generation are "just that, asexual... there was never a male of female in species to start with... these species are single cell... occasionally plants and some fungus as well... of the animals that have the ability they rarely use it and when it does happen the offspring is a clone of the mother and is usually very sickly. a species that lived off of clones of clones would die out VERY quickly."
The Indian Stick insect can produce males but very rarely does. It does not "die out VERY quickly" at all.
"Men are more sustable to most mental diseases other than depression of those who commited those crimes how many were mentally ill??"
Then if men are more likely to become mentally ill that in itself would suggest they should not be in control. Most of the male world leaders come into that category and could easily be described as psychopaths.
All thoughout my life I have seen and been victim of far more abuse by boys and men. In school it was boys who bullied me and as a teenager and adult every time I have suffered physical damage to my body it has been by a man! If I look in any news media the number of violent crimes by men far outnumbers those by women.
Those are stats based on convictions in a country that is partial towards women in a legal setting. That is also very misleading for the following reasons
1. those who commit those crimes make up less than one percent of the population. This means that it is hardly the norm and should be treated as such.
2. Men are more sustable to most mental diseases other than depression of those who commited those crimes how many were mentally ill??
3. despite popular belief women actually are guilty of child abuse far more often then men... this is a more accurate indicater of behavior in a group because abuse is more common than murder, rape, ect...
4. Women are more likely to abuse there partners as well.. but they aren't as strong so it rarely ends up with an injury...
The only creatures that live asexually every generation are just that, asexual... there was never a male of female in species to start with... these species are single cell... occasionally plants and some fungus as well... of the animals that have the ability they rarely use it and when it does happen the offspring is a clone of the mother and is usually very sickly. a species that lived off of clones of clones would die out VERY quickly.
BTW how does one of many genetic scientist supporting something make it true? you say that as if this one professor make a consensus??
- Author
It is sustainable as is shown by the many species that are able to carry on generation after generation without males. I disagree that women are as violent as males. If you have a look at statistics for violent crime the number of rapes, murders and other violent attacks by men far outweighs those by women.
Doing some research in the source I have indicated you would find that a respected professor of genetics at Oxford university believes that men will die out in future and has written a book on the subject. What are your scientific qualifications?
This is idiotic i have to say. Asexual reproduction isn't sustainable... doing very little research would show you that... Also women are just as violent as men and more controlling when in authority... the world would be worse
Ok, say the whole matriarchal hierarchy thing happens. What happens when that special time of the month comes around and Ms. Presedent has her hands on the football? Our planet would be an irradiated wastland by X-mas. It was a plan but I think that I'd rather have reletively minor wars once every couple of decades than the apocalypse once a month.

I am glad to hear you found it inspiring! Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful article written by your expert hand as usual.We have had a few tough queens in England, and always make love to a woman if she wants you are your up the creek without a paddle. I love my wife dearly , yet she could discard me like I am no better than a slice of lunch meat. She is part Cherokee Indian. She has a touch of ruthlessness in her DNA. In a nightmare I once had she left me for a Cherokee brave. I had to find her in the mountains and fight the mighty young brave in hand to hand combat for my wife back. Straight threw his heart in my dream, I killed the brave with and Indian lance. It was the only way I could get my wife back so that she could fix my coffee for me in the mornings. I told her that I wanted two sugars with a touch of Cremora. She told me to kiss her you know what.
I may write about her in a hub. Who knows. GBY my Friend.

Good stuff, Grey Wolf, and here comes my personal take on it: yes, 'God' made all the countless billions of 'alien' races too and many of them have played a part in what we have here. Michael Tsarion says that one of these races intermixed their genes with us in a bid to make a slave race from us. Many of them are co-creators as we are and use genetic manipulation just like scientists here are doing and are believed to have done in Atlantean times. The whole creation, which is 'God' is constantly changing and creating and experiencing itself from all its parts, which are an infinitesimal number that is for us truly mind-boggling! The input from these parts makes up the reality they experience and creates the future. It is very very very complex because we are dealing in countless worlds and also countless dimensions BUT for the sake of this planet at this point in time, it is clear that the humans on it need to sort the mess they have made and are in out! The matriarchal future is a potential solution that happens to make a lot of sense to me. Other solutions such as the second coming of Christ, the arrival of all powerful friendly aliens who will sort it out for us etc are just control system myths, wishful thinking and fairy stories. I am looking for an answer that can be worked with for the benefit of all other life forms as well as humans here.
If the Earth Spirit/Mother Earth or other forces far above our understanding have decided that human males are being phased out in the interests of preservation of life on the planet then that makes as much sense to me as anything else and would seem a solution.
I am presenting information - it is something I am good at doing. The complexity of the whole situation is vast. The subject of exopolitics is vast. As Andromedan contactee Alex Collier once said about the state of this place "It's a mess." I have a hub presenting a lot about him and some of his talks on video.
I mean nothing by this, I'm just curious. How can you be talking about a creator god AND say aliens made us? Aren't they mutualy exclusive unless you say god created the aliens and told them to make us, at which point things are getting really convoluted. Further if the aleins did make us who's to say that we weren't created for war? What if we're just an alien BOW? What if this planet is a weapon stockpile?

Nobody is trying to eliminate males but they are being removed by Mother Earth or God or however you view the Creator because they have endangered too many other life forms and their own species and are simply not needed. That is the idea! Actually I personally think it's a lot more complex than that because in my view of the universe there are very many alien races that interact with this planet and many of them have males and females so I don't know if it will happen. It may be just a theory. My viewpoint is that for the sake of life on this planet it would make a lot of sense because as I have explained before it is mainly males who kill and destroy humans and animals, trees, plants and whole environments! Their leaders refuse to live in a balanced or sane way!
I love this hub! Really! I believe we are all living a balancing act right now here on Earth - the Goddess definitely needs to make a comeback and help balance the situations! As a species we probly need to eliminate our perceived need for superstition and even hero-worship. Striving for some unattainable and probably unproductive vision of a sexless society and a homogenous society is not only scarey, its futile. Innovation and the stimulation of human interaction in its multiple facets may be the very thing to save us, our planet and our future. So, even though I too have suffered through some subjugation and attempted humiliation by the opposite sex, I've also experienced the same things from ignorance on the part of my own sex. I love the world the way it is, and want to live long enough to see us all continue to improve it. What good would it do to try to eliminate males?

They were smart and they (some of them) engineered us! Indeed we are not allowed to do this:
"When we get to the rest of the galaxy we're going to lay waste to the stars. Glassing plannets and subjugating alien races in the name of humanity."
And I thoroughly recommend Michael Tsarion's lecture The Origins of Evil for an explanation on the subject: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8360601521...
I think that I need to mention that the greek goddess Athena was a war deity. She was a goddess of "civilized" warfare compared to the vicious bloody chaos represented by Ares, but a goddess of war none the less. War is in our nature, male and female.
I happen to prescribe to the belief that E.T.s avoid our planet for the exact reason mentioned. I also prescribe to the belief that if you can't be loved, be feared. When we get to the rest of the galaxy we're going to lay waste to the stars. Glassing plannets and subjugating alien races in the name of humanity. Survival of the fittest, and I look forward to it. Honestly, if they were smart they'd wipe us out. O-rah.

Divine intelligence is androgenous. Women is their own worse enemy sometimes. I am a heterosexual woman who has chose celibacy peroidically thru out my life. Women have to empower themselves on all levels. The way they are socialized in their society can be the culprit too. My Dad shadow box with me and my Mom taught me to apply lipliner.

I would suggest that the ideas of stealing or safeguarding resources or of invasion or defence of a country would not exist because under a matriarchal rule care and compassion for all life would be a priority.
I am certain that there is statistically far less violence in the world from women and certain that there are more women who are animal rights activists.
I would also suggest that seeing as men have clearly failed that women should be given a chance. If they failed as well then there is no answer and I would have to conclude that the human race is a dangerous species to itself and all other life forms! I actually already believe that this is the view of many ETs! The human race has to prove itself as being not a danger!
While I agree that men are more aggressive than women I don't necessarily agree that there would be fewer wars or fewer violence in the world if women were in charge. Wars are normally fought because someone has something, land, oil, precious metals, resources, that the attacker wants or needs to survive. Sometimes the attacker wants to simply take it by force, but sometimes the defender has been unwilling to share the resource, keeping a people under control. Being in charge of nations, women will still face the same obstacles and challenges as men do now. Perhaps they would be slower to war, but perhaps not. Having been around women all my live I have seen the level of anger, hate, pettiness and scorn women can achieve. I do think they are the fairer sex, but maybe that's has come about because men have taken the aggressive stand and women are expected and grown to be less aggressive. I wonder what would happen in a world where the men would be expected and grown to be less aggressive and the women are expected take the lead, to protect their land? To find resources that will keep their people safe? To find ways to prevent war. Would they build an atomic weapon to that end? Would they change? How would women change? Would they fair differently than men? As they say, "Only the King knows the burden of ruling".

Thanks for the great feedback, Pam! I am aware of all that but thank you for sharing and it certainly supports the claims made by Guru Rasa and Dr Sykes that males are on their way out. If people don't like it then they better hurry up and do something about the environmental pollution.
Meanwhile I have just published a new hub because Kellie Everts/Guru Rasa has had her site deleted at Facebook!
Wow, what an interesting hub. It reminded me of something I heard on a Science Friday show on NPR. It was about water pollution and how fish and frogs that used to come in two sexes are being found with both sets of genitalia because of all the hormones going into the water supply. But the really shocking thing is that human sex hormones are changing rapidly too--testosterone levels in men are dropping and estrogen levels are increasing. You don't hear about this often, but it's quite serious. It's happening pretty fast. It's from all the hormones from birth control pills and animal hormones used in meat production and so forth--they end up in the water table, the don't just go away.
Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Gallapagos" talks about a future in which humans quietly go extinct because women become infertile, but apparently something similar is now happening in real life with men.

Thanks for your posts, Grey Wolf and Eye of the Storm!
I am fully aware of all biblical scriptures having studied the book and read it all. I view it as a major part of what holds patriarchy together as a world power and control system but there is also a lot of truth in it. I do not believe it is the "word of God" however, but the words of men.
I am a man and I love God too but not the god or war, violence, sacrifice, slavery, threats and punishment!
Maybe your looking at this in the wrong way. There are somethings that science does not explain. Maybe we need to look back and think about biblical scripture. Maybe there is a reason that knowledge was regarded as the demise and downfall of man. And you talk about lizards. I know of a certain lizard in the garden of eden that promised Eve more power. And for you believers, it was the downfall of man and women. For those of you who think that this is a solution to the world's problems. I'm a man, I love God, and I think not.
As a male I feel I need to say that I now feel unneeded and unloved.... T.T

Ms Chievous, without a doubt!
Linda, yes, I can see what you're saying but it is possible now that males are being phased out as a matter of necessity for the greater good of all other species! Personally I want to see as much life as possible filling the world and all through my life I have watched males killing it far more than women do - in fact I see the opposite women doing their utmost to protect and conserve life. The "sad state of affairs" is the world as it is and has been under male rule.
Thank you, Lou! This is great: "The creation of the human male is therefore based on the presumption that the female embryo has to lose something to become male, leaving me with the question of exactly what needs to be removed from the female for it to become male. The answer logically lies in the qualities which women have which are absent in men."
Ethel, Margaret Thatcher is a good example of a woman, from a real minority of women, who has adopted male ways in a male system and succeeded because of this.
My Mum, back in the sixties, used to say that if we had female politicians we would have a more peaceful world. Wonder what she would have made of Mrs Thatcher?
Yet another thought provoking and interesting hub.
I have encountered many men who cannot understand the concept of a heterosexual woman not needing sex, and not needing a man for protection etc. and having no concept of a platonic relationship between the sexes. I agree, some women can't live without men, but there are some of us that can, and we are not all lesbians. Some of us just find life easier and runs a lot smoother without the aggressive and competitive male influence. Its a positive/negative relationship and as we know, you can live in a positive manner without the need for a negative influence, but you cant live in a negative manner without the need for a positive influence.
All human embryos are female until an influence of hormone removes part of the X chromosome creating the human male. The creation of the human male is therefore based on the presumption that the female embryo has to lose something to become male, leaving me with the question of exactly what needs to be removed from the female for it to become male. The answer logically lies in the qualities which women have which are absent in men. Great hub Steve.
Great hub and what truths! But I feel it would be a sad state of affairs if men cant go beyond this ego state and awaken their own feminine right side of the brain. In this balanced state we could go forward together.
Dont throw the baby out with the bathwater - men can change, women have had to. If we had believed that men were the "gods" they thought they were it would not have pushed us to activate our left male brains and get going.
We now have the opportunity of being our higher and integrated selves together.
Namaste
Linda
thought provoking hub.. Do you think there would be less violence in a world with no men??
