    Pfft, where's the foetus gonna gestate, you gonna keep it in a box?
    In an incubator of course. How do you think that baby born at 24 weeks is gestating?

    Sure isn't one of the main reasons for women being discriminated against/not attaining high ranking positions careerwise the fact that they have to take a lot of time out if they want to have a baby? i'm not saying it's repulsive, but it's hardly convenient for every woman who wants kids.

    Well, many people adopt and I wouldn't be one to call all adopted children psychologically damaged.

    I envision a future where having a baby is as simple as ordering one 9 months in advance :p

    Well, probably not in my lifetime...

    However, my point in relation to this thread is that by the time this is possible, I'm fairly sure growing babies ex utero will be possible also.

    Men would be doing the same so bye bye discrimination.

    No - they still grow in wombs, hearing their birth mother's heartbeat and voice, tasting her food and so on. Natural, maaaan!

    Metaphorically, (not all) but many men in a world without women would do the Adam's rib thing? In a world without men, (not all) but many women would do the same thing? They would create and fashion differences among themselves? I like differences that make us unique and individual, the struggle between the sexes being just one of them. "Viva la difference!"

    When you take into account leaders such as Margaret Thatcher, and the multitudes of successful female solicitors, scientists, engineers, etc etc, the world would probably continue on much as it had.

    But if it were a world of all females would Margaret Thatcher made as large an impact as she did? Or would she just have been another crap politician :D

    Yes! But then if a one gender world would exist and which one would do better i think it would be the women. In the men's world they will just despair and drink!:D

    men are winning. \o/

    At least in a male only world, people would still be able to f*ck each other. In a woman only world, sales of strap ons would go through the roof, ann summers would be the worlds biggest corporation

    *shudder*

    Also, I think such a detached system would have psychological effects on the babiez.

    A good clap across the ear would sort the lil' bastards out, worked for me after I was incubated in a Jam Jar. No scientific hocus-pocus, my father just finished the marmalade, washed the jar under the tap and bodda-bing bodda-boom.........3 days later I was born.........at least that's how I was told I was conceived.........:confused::confused::confused:

    Why would he be eating marmalade out of a jam jar.

    A man invented the tampon. But then again, men also "invented" leaving the seat up... meh.

    I like it as it is (given the other options, that is).

    What is wrong with leaving the toilet seat up?
    You leave it down is the way I see it.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Men use the toilet seat too.

    No, I never do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Strange, when I'm using someone elses toilet I hit everything but the water in the bowl......I usually shrug it off with "Meh, better luck next time" and walk off leaving a glorious mess.

    I assume most do. What do you do then, hover, squat or sit on the cold ceramic bit?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Man, the only time I ever hover or squat over a bowl is when I'm busting for a crap and the only loo available are filthy public ones or the even dodgier ones you find in pubs.

    Scary experience!
