This story is a crock of shit. Seriously, with comments such as:

"Are men literally obsolete? Of course not, and if we had to prove that we could never win. For one thing, we haven’t figured out a way to harvest sperm without them being, you know, alive. But in order to win this debate we have to prove that men, quote unquote, as we’ve historically come to define them — entitled to power, destined for leadership, arrogant, confused by anything that isn’t them. As in: “I don’t understand. Is it a guy dressed up like a girl? Or a girl dressed up like a guy?” They are obsolete.

However, choosing a headline is "sexy" and draws readers in. It's an advertisement for her book.

The only reason women want men is for their throbbing penis.
I feel so used.

When rad fems theorize about "men", they have in mind Soap Opera type characters with inherited wealth, hollywood looks and lots of power. Not Larry the Lineman or Curt the Coalminer or Raj the Network Admin. The vast, vast majority of men bust their ass for every dollar and have little wealth or influence, don't have women falling all over them, etc. etc..

Also, they discount the incredible power of hormones, which determine not only human appearance and sex organs, but greatly influence behavior. They keep peddling the Social Origin of Gender, which is utterly disproven by biology and neuroscience.

Who is going to give alimony and outsized child support??

What is obsolete is women suffering the consequences of mating with incompetent men.

There are lesbians who should not be encouraged to make out in public and this is one of them.

This can't be right: all lesbians look like Victoria's Secret models, and spend all day making love, working out, or rubbing massage oil on one another.

I liked a previous piece on this same topic by Camille Paglia.

http://ideas.time.com/2013/12/16/its-a-mans-world-and-it-always-will-be/

Worth reading I thought. Her point is that it might be possible for women to be strong with all the rights they want and yet still respect men and masculinity.

seems 3/4 are not and your tax dollars used to find why not...

Feds Spend $1.5 Million to Study Why Lesbians Are Fat

(CNSNews.com) – The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded $1.5 million to study biological and social factors for why “three-quarters” of lesbians are obese and why gay males are not, calling it an issue of “high public-health significance."

Many species actually do go through periods when males are obsolete since the female is the primary sex, and males are introduced predominately to promote genetic variation.

In most of human history with a few exceptions men have done a lot of work of one kind or another. Not just hunting/gathering, farming, building, protecting, or fighting in wars for tribe or country. It can change but men won't become obsolete, if for no other reason than that women wouldn't want them to.

Of course, they are also just angry that biologic men present them with viable competition for their sexual quarry.

This happens all the time. I walk by a lesbian bar and one of them will notice me casually part my hair with my tongue. Suddenly, the doors burst open and wanton, panting lesbians are howling for my attentions and, the most unnatural of them, are enraged that I've turned their mates heterosexual just by my awesome self.

I bet it is embarrassing when converted lesbians follow you home and stand outside licking the windows.

It must require a Gatling to keep the big bruiser ones from stomping you on a daily basis.

Yes, but these I put into a tub full of mud on the front lawn and watch them wrestle while I entertain the Victoria's Secret Lesbians.

I'll take them both. Lets really spice it up and throw in that teacher from Finland.

I'm always willing to learn new tricks from hot teachers like that. I'll even do homework.

They will kill each other just to look at you, and you will be repeatedly molested by the sexiest ones. You really want that?

I also get called to fix the crap she's always breaking or electronics she screws up....

Ha! That's funny. I'm always calling my daughter to help troubleshoot my wireless network or any PC issues I'm having.

Just inform her you have a marriage license, not a plumbers license.

You're talking jugsville, which is alright, too. But I'm a big man myself, and I like to feel like I've been someplace with a gal. I don't want to feel like I'm scaling a chain link fence in bed, y'know?

Looks like she is crawling up the chain link fence, or she is opening her jaws and getting ready to swallow him.

32   JodyChunder   2014 Jan 5, 11:53am  

My only problem with her might could be that she's a little overdressed for throwing hams.

What I don't get is why so many lesbians want to look like the worst looking dudes?

34   FortWayne   2014 Jan 5, 12:17pm  

If men were not needed, we'd disappear in the evolution. The only thing that was disappearing were homosexuals and other deviants... and those only survived because of bleeding heart liberals who want to socialize misery and deviancy to entire society. Fools I tell you!

Thats why the Govt spent $1.5M to find those urgent questions.

They were doing a heckuva job hanging around without the help of filthy liberals for thousands of years.

You seem to be bragging about your lack of reasoning skills again.

If anything, homosexuality which has only recently become somewhat culturally acceptable is leading to gays living their gay lifestyle, and usually not having children. This may make for less gays in the future if it is an inheritable trait.

In the sexually repressed past, that you wish we still had, gays would do everything to suppress their homo tendencies, and they would marry and have children, only in some cases occasionally having (what they felt were) their perverted dalliances on the side.

Bottm line: If gay is an inheritable trait, then having gays out in the open and accepted will if anything diminish the amount of gay genes in the gene pool.

I know that you might be one of those closet homos who thinks that if being gay is acceptable then all the people who are like you (except less willing to supress those urges), will become gay.

As a true heterosexual male, I can tell you, that's not how it works. I don't care how many gays are on TV or out and about as normal people or even nice interesting people. I still have no interest in having sex with men.

Shortsightedness as a personal example, why wouldn't that have been weeded out long ago? Many traits which you might consider killer limitations, are not even a factor worth worrying over in the vastness of time and complexity of reality. Evolution doesn't produce perfection only "good enough".
