And without men, women would die out in a matter of days. And thus ends the human race.

    We're talking half the worlds population just up and dying. Including most of people that see to the basics society needs to even function. Just look at how fast it went south when the Garbage Collectors in England went on strike. That was just One job out of a handful of very necessary jobs. Now imagine no power, no water, food spoiling without fresh food coming in. No one to take the trash away, No one to bury the dead... The list goes on.

    Just losing half the population would be devastating. But even worse if it's all the people that make the cogs of society turn. And that just happens to be predominantly male jobs.

    It's nothing against women. It's just that men are very much needed to make any of this work.

    Society collapsing due to half the population disappearing, yes.

    All women dying out in "days" without men, no. 😂

    Even if in work like water treatment and electricity generation/distribution that are mostly men, there are still plenty of women. And huge swathes of the world live without these things anyway. It seems like you're only thinking of cities becoming unlivable, or only thinking of a very narrow microcosm of women.

    As someone who has known extremely competent and intelligent women all through my life, and also lived in really remote and rural places, I can say with absolute certainty that if men just blipped out of existence one day women would be just fine.

    Yes, life wouldn't continue as it had. There would be changes. Just like there would be changes for men if women all disappeared. But to suggest that women would just let rubbish and bodies pile up, and that they wouldn't give any thought to or take action about food supply is delusional.

    I don't think it would. Again, It's nothing against women. I have met incredibly competent and strong women as well. But they are a minority in many of these fields. We're talking single digit percents. Those few would likely live a bit longer than your standard 20 year old cashier, but it'll all be going one way.

    Anywho, humanity would be doomed if either men or women just disappeared. It's just a hypothetical of which sex would survive longer. Not too serious. I just dislike when people say shit like: "The world would be better if all the [insert people] just died."
