Just something I can’t get out my head recently

Not saying you need to leave the site. However, I hope you have this:
"The men all worked together and celebrated each others successes in fire building, fishing etc"

In your own life.as well. It's very important to have real life friends.

Oh no! I must leave the site because some random decided it’s a gotcha to say that Mumsnet is mostly female.

I don’t rely on Mumsnet for survival my dear. Nor do I only look at mumsnet.

And thank you for your plot summary. I’m going not guess I mostly say the second on. And thank you for confirming the women were useless.

We need both men and women. Women who blame men for all of life’s ills have an incredibly distorted perspective.

This bit though
"Say that we found a way to artificially create sperm, or just fertilise eggs"

I believe scientists did accidentally find out it's possible to fertilise eggs with eggs (it was while researching mitochondrial disorders). If you introduce an unfertilised egg to an unfertilised egg they will fuse in the same way an egg and sperm will to form something that behaves like a fertilised egg.
However - there is no way of knowing whether said fertilised egg would be able to develop into a healthy baby if implanted because it's never been done and can never be done as it's unethical. It would be creating a child in am entirely artificial way purely to see what would happen
So, its not really a technical issue but a moral one "just because we can doesn't mean we should". And I agree with that, even though it's also interesting to hypothetically muse about what such a society (female only) would look like. What's interesting is that as much as certain people like to portray women/feminists as man haters etc no-one is genuinely pushing for this. Whereas stuff techbros or other powerful men want (replacing the working man with AI) is portrayed as "inevitable"
It's perfectly possible to have the technology and decide not to do something.

I think society would be very bitchy if it only consisted of women. I prefer male friends as they are less judgemental, more straightforward and less mean.

You seem to have confused multiple episodes:

1. Just men, as part of a test to see if "modern men" could survive outside civilisation. The men struggled to get organised, suffered at first then got better
2. One island of men, one of women. The women had a tougher time of it than the men to start with. They were slower to focus on building shelter and there was a time when they were really struggling. Eventually they figured it out.
3. One island of men and women who started out in seperate groups until they found each other. In this case the women were doing much better. They were the only ones with decent shelter. They were also the only ones with food which they shared with the men when they met up.

So clearly women aren't always better at cooperation (they struggled with it in the 2 example). But what you wrote just didn't happen.
Also though - the show is an entertainment show which always follows the same arc - group struggles, drama and failings out, moment of tension "make or break", group gets better and ultimately triumphs. It's not a sociological study.

If you want to stick with men why are you on a primarily female site?

If you want to see if women can survive without men - watch the Bear Grylls thing where they put a group of women on an island, and a group of men on one. The men all worked together and celebrated each others successes in fire building, fishing etc. They got on with things.

The women lazed around, failed to take basic steps to secure water, shelter, etc. talked about their feelings and were useless. When the tv crew released some small pigs so they’d have a chance of not starving..the women made pets of them.

Eventually I think they went to the men’s camp and lazed around there while the men did all the work to look after things.

I’ll stick with the men, thanks.

Watch the film Gattaca

So people on here would be fine with theot MIL, SIL, DIL, partners ex or new partner, female colleagues all the women postera complain about all being in position of power or making decisions etc. or is it a case of 'every other women would be fine but not ones i know''

But personally why would I assume women as a whole are better than men just because they are women? The idea logically makes no sense

This!!

I agree. I think even though some men might be violent, many more women are bitchy, judgemental and toxic. The worst bosses I have had have been female.

No way. I love male company, men are great. I've just realised how much nicer the dads are than the snobby mums at nursery. Men are so much more easygoing.

I voted YABU because I adore my husband and couldn't imagine life without him......but I do understand where you are coming from, the majority of violent crimes are committed by men and any society with less violence would be significantly better.

Fought wars? They start them in the first place!

Except it’s not. I bet if you looked into the backgrounds of the people in women’s prisons, 90+% of them will have experienced domestic abuse in some way, either as a child and/or in their adult relationships. Usually both. Many people have absolutely no idea how prevalent it is. And it’s overwhelmingly perpetrated by men. I’m not saying it’s the only contributory factor, but it will be a significant one in most cases.

Much as I would like to agree with you, I have such a lovely son and he gives me hope for the male species.

But women would still want sex and some female to female relationships can be very violent and toxic and controlling , interesting thought tho, if its all down to testosterone maybe we just castrate all men,

I was just going to say that

I think you should write a dystopian novel to explore this concept. I would read it.

I think it would be fucking awful. I love laughing at men. And I don't mean that in an unkind way 😄 I find their humour far funnier and I quite like that they do stupid stuff 🤷‍♀️ tbh id rather be around a group of men than a group of women on the whole - odviouslythere are exceptions to that. I think a world with only women would become extremely bitchy and spiteful.

I went to an all girls school. It was an incredibly bitchy place

I was going to make this exact same point - a large proportion of female offenders have been abused by men, and coerced into crime e.g to steal to feed the man's drug habit. And many female offenders have suffered from traumatic brain injuries from attacks by men and there is increasing evidence that this is associated with cognitive and behavioural issues that increase the likelihood of those women offending and reoffending.

They started those wars, and while mapping and exploring they spread disease and colonised and enslaved indigenous people, and if they were keeping women alive they were likely only protecting them from the threat of other men

Roads and building? They have fought wars, navigated and mapped the world, and actually ensured women are kept alive, men are awesome!

Well not really, history has a huge impact on the make up of our society. Women are still catching up in many industries not just physical ones.

Most women if they live alone will have to crack on with jobs that might be ‘men’ jobs in other households. I live with my wife, she does all the heavy lifting as she’s ridiculously strong. I do all the DIY and plumbing (unless it needs a professional) because I have more patience and better hand dexterity. But we learn what we need to do and crack on. We don’t just not do things that need doing because it’s would be easier for men with their physical strength. You adapt.

I hate the idea that people think just because men are more likely to have physical strength that women have to rely on men for ‘tough’ jobs. It’s ridiculous. Working class women have been doing tough jobs for centuries.

And if there were any jobs where there were no women who had the physical strength to do a certain job then we would come up with different solutions to problems, but I doubt theres many jobs like that as there are plenty of women who are physically fit and strong.
