IME, women who proclaim an equivalent of “I don’t want a man” (or “A woman needs a man like fish needs a bicycle”) are the ones who need a man the most but are tired of not being fully met by men they meet. It’s the case of sour grapes or never having tasted sweetness of the grapes.

The reason for the former usually being that they haven’t developed their own femininity enough to actually attract a man who could meet them fully. Coupled with over-development/exercise of masculine traits. Or some serious mess-up on their feminine path in the past (child/abortion).

I think this works with men/women reversed as well.

It’s interesting because when women say “we don’t need men” what they really mean is that they don’t need a personal relationship with a man. Which is true. A single woman can get by without one as long as she wants. Might not be fun or happy, but it is possible. But somehow, when women figure out that they can get by without a man in their lives, they extrapolate this to mean that they need no men at all, completely disregarding all the other men in society that make her life possible.

Yohami,
Check my newest post. I’m pretty sure I never figured out how to buy the “women don’t need men” shit. In fact, I highly suspect women who say that are just using it to hide the fact that they’re single/alone and feel miserable about it.

Neither gender could survive without the other, but a man society without women would be total hell. If women didn’t have men they would be extremely depressed. If men didn’t have women they would totally slaughter each other endlessly. Think for a second that biology just doesn’t exist, in that case men could continue to be made through artificial means. If women didn’t have men the amount of suicides would go through the roof. However, women are the only thing that prevents men from totally butchering one another.

In all societies where women are denied to men until late in their life the overall aggressive nature of it is extreme. Case in point, Ancient Sparta. In Ancient Sparta men were not allowed to marry until 30 years of age! It was part of their genetic modifications of humans. Anyway I digress, Ancient Sparta was an unbelievably violent society, and I think it’s because of the lack of women. Only girls can make men not feel tough or show some softness. Often men in almost all of recorded history would come back from the brutal tough and unforgiving world and find that their wife was the only thing they had. Only around them could they show some softness without being pounced on. This proves that men would kill each other so much that life without women would be living hell, life without men for women would be extremely sad and depressing place also but without all the violence.

By some accounts, the whole of ancient Greece was a matriarchy — until male-oriented homosexuals invaded, Apollo took Delphi from the Momgod, and refounded the Olympic Games by banishing all but one woman from it. The whole process is explicated in the ‘Oresteia’, the only surviving Greek trilogy (thanks to Christian self-righteousness and censoriousness). By this account (and by mine), the birth of western civilization resulted from the sequestration of women — especially from the marketplace. Even today, the beautiful sex spends $171 BILLION bucks on cosmetics — even before they clothe themselves in the skimpiest of outfits at the most-extravagant prices. Even today we are a male-dominated, female-fixated society; and it will be the death of us.
