Imagine A World Without Men

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.

My immediate thoughts turned to The Two Ronnie's The Worm that Turned..😂

@Loubelle70 ah thanks! Dunno why I hadn't heard about it previously.

As for that post below. I don't think we should dignify it with attention.

In a world without men, I would be a confident person who wasn’t battling ptsd.
in a world without men, my young niece wouldn’t have died in a horrible, tragic way at age 17.
in a world without men, I wouldn’t be afraid, and the sound of raised voices wouldn’t make me shake so hard I can barely stand up.
in a world without men, my mom would have been free to be her happy, joyful self, without complaints and negative meanness and shouting bringing her down every minute of every day for over 50 years.

in a world without men, I wouldn’t have been violated at age 15.

in a world without men, I wouldn’t still be scared to go for a walk.

in a world without men, I wouldn’t worry so much about what I wore, and whether it shows too much of me.

in a world without men, I wouldn’t be scared to smile, scared to laugh, scared to let myself enjoy life because when I do, it attracts the horrible, miserable, vile creatures.

I want them gone. All of them.

Hermanfromguesswho · 23/03/2024 07:41

There’s a book called ‘I who have never known men’ a dystopian novel about a world with no men. It’s very good, you might enjoy it!

This is sad and scary, because this is how many men think.

They see women as "just for sex".

They don't see women as human beings, with different personalities at all

They see women ad "bodies" who are just there for men's sexual needs.

This is what leads to the huge amount of sexual abuse we have today.

It's a scary world. They don't see women as people.

I was just on a training session. The woman doing the training had loads of financial qualifications, and a long amazing career in banking.

When she went out of the room I heard some of the men talk about her tits and arse.

We are just bodies to them.

I don't know how to get men to see women as human?

You're missing the point boldleader.

You said that women wouldn't survive ithiur men for a month as they need men to support the infrastructure/ and you said that men have a better mind.

That's not the point of this thread.

Some Women are saying on this thread that they would like to live in a place wirh no men, because if they lived there, they would have no fear at all of being raped, attacked and killed.

Shouldn't women have a choice to live somewhere where they feel safe?

The first question of the thread is 'what would a world without men look like' so infrastructure is relevant.

But female only spaces away from the dangers of men is another matter.

Sashamalia · 23/03/2024 09:24

Boldleaders point on here is important, because what he said, is how many men think .

Many men just see women as bodies, who solely exist to serve men's sexual need

This kind of thinking is good for men, as it gives men all the power,
and they get to use women for their needs. It's a win win for men.

This kind of thinking, which exists today makes the world worse for women, and it makes it better for men

Well what if women don't want to live like that anymore Boldleader . What if we don't want to exist as subservient sexual slaves to men anymore.

What if there is an uprising?

What if we create more female only safe spaces.

Women have already started to create female only safe spaces .

I am not just a body, as you nastily called women Boldleader. I am an equal human being to you

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 23/03/2024 09:29

I did a very female dominated degree and worked in very female dominated jobs all my life.

Without exception all the environments were lovely and supportive. And most made me cry with laughter. I’d love a female dominated world.

He wrote

"The male mind is superior"
He wrote "women are designed to look pretty"

And he wrote " i just like womens bodies. But i wouldn't miss anything else."

What do you think, about what he wrote?

His post is just so we react .. its a bit comical really.
I agree with what you say @Sashamalia ...but this guy won't listen...no children ( what's he on here for then?), no relationship etc...just sat trawling internet to offend women...'captain sweatpants' i call them.

This is why a women's world would be better.

there's plenty of women here who work on building infrastructure. I'm something of an expert in heating and ventilation pipe work and I worked female engineers involved in public health or plumbing

He's obviously just a sexist idiot and is clearly on a wind up.

Power corrupts.

All that would happen is that we'd have a lot more examples of nasty spiteful oppressive devious violent evil things done by females than we do now : and MNers would have to stop blaming males for all world evils which is a good thing.
