What would that world really look like? I'm toying with a piece I am writing on this subject and was asking friends and family, thought I'd ask you as well.
To be honest I am not thinking so much of a world without men, as we need men and women to carry on the human race. But rather I'm contemplating a city, or a state where women and men were segregated off.
As place where women lived by choice completely separate to men, with no interaction with men at all.
To be upfront, I have a husband and an adult son both of whom I love. I can't really imagine living away from them, or never seeing them.
But if they had never existed, if I had no close male relatives I cared about - then I would actually be ok with it, I think. Or would I?
I'd miss sex a fair bit, to be honest,and physical touch with my husband genreally. If anything happened to my husband though I would not be pursuing any more sexual relationships, this is my second and last marriage, cannot be bothered with the rigmarole of dating ever again.
And women have zero sexual appeal to me, but I suppose there's always vibrators!
But sex aside, what would living in a city filled with women really be like?
There'd be no ongoing threat of rape or of murder by men. There'd be far fewer murders, almost none I suppose.
I'd imagine it would be just generally a lot safer, as women are (whether misogynists and pickmes like to admit it or not) a lot less physically violent than men. They just are. Citation - all of human history.
Would there be more arts? More of what sort of jobs and industry and less of what? What would exist that just can't in our current world - or would it just be weird and unpleasant?
Women can be abusive, and even sometimes to their kids. Would they be more or less so without men around I wonder?
What would be find to compete about without being trained to compete for male attention all our lives?
Would it be nicer? More fun? Or more boring? Men seem to have a bit of drive that women miss, like the drive to change and conquer - or is that just my imagination?
I'm genuinely asking the question and I am interested to know the answers.
