Men Are Obsolete ... If You Don't Need Food, Shelter, Mobility, Tradable Goods or Sanitation
The ridiculous Hanna Rosin and the ridiculous Time magazine, which publishes this drivel, have declared men obsolete.
Really? Let's imagine a world without these obsolete men...
Like going places? Sorry, no planes. Women don't design 'em, build 'em and there are too few who can fly 'em. Trains? Nope, mostly it's all men that make the trains run. Cars? Yeah, women do help put them together but almost no women design and engineer them. Wouldn't be many cars to get around in if we left it to the gals. Roads too. Do you know any women macadamizers? Not many of those around. The roads would get pretty bumpy after a while relying on the gals to lay hot asphalt.
Like a roof over your head? Not many gals in the construction biz. From track homes to skyscrapers, there wouldn't be much in the way of structures we could occupy if we left these tasks to the gals. Want any wood in that house of yours? Nary a member of the fairer sex to be seen in the lumber industry.
Food? Yeah women help out, but do they want to take over the ranching business, or the chicken farm, or the grain acreage without some serious help from the menfolk? Doubt it. We're all gonna get pretty thin now that men are obsolete.
Like foreign things? How do they get to these shores (mostly)? Ships. Know how many women captain and crew one of these? Industry-wide, it's effectively zero.
Like running water? You need to dig some reservoirs and canals, dig and fit giant underground aqueducts, build filtration plants, install pumps, pipes and valves. I don't see alot of women doing these things. If you do, show me where they are.
There's alot that women do and they do it well, and we should all be thankful. However, it is truly amazing how much of modern life women have, effectively, no part in bringing about. Sure, they run colleges, soda companies, hospitals, and websites, and sit in legislatures and write books and alot of cool stuff. But they're able to do these things because men pave the roads, build the cars, drill and pump the oil, build and fly the planes, weld and pilot giant ships, work the cranes, grow the food, rustle the cattle, build the homes and ... plow the snow (why am I thinking of that just now?).
