Regardless, there are sperm banks and sperm donors, anyway.

I'm reminded of that all female species of lizard.

Parthenogenesis

Does someone say YURI ?

Like seatbelts!

Anybody know when the english subs will be up? Its been two days since I have saw the raws were around and I'm just waiting for some group to finish up.

I think this needs the truth tag.

Of course. Don't you know anything about SCIENCE?

But in time, there won't be any need for males any more, no? Unless they keep some in farms to harvest their sperm.

Or maybe SCIENCE triumphs over that too and creates artificial sperm or an alternate to make babies. Like clones.

In any case, what happens when someone bombs or contaminates the sperm banks? =3

Will one terrorist's efforts really destroy the world? And besides, a world with only women might be wise enough to do away with weapons and things like that in the first place. Along the way though, I'd think the number of facilities would be far to great to be destroyable by any criminal syndicate, especially on an ethics front, considering they'd be killing off the human race in the process.

It's very hard to say how the world would be like with only one gender left. Most may agree that a men-only world is one that would see a lot of conflict, perhaps even one that would make short work of itself and rid the world of the human virus once and for all. However, a male-only world would afaik also be one that would rely entirely on artificial reproduction methods to ensure the continuation of the species, assuming that the concept of "breeding farms" is rejected over ethical reasons. Let us wonder, for a minute (or more) and assuming it is possible, what if a more peaceful and constructive human creature is encoded into the DNA of our future generations and a new, wiser breed of humanity replaces the old barbaric one?

And I would not assume straightaway that a female-only world would be automatically be a peaceful one. Let's not forget that the ladies can be just as quarrelsome as their male counterparts; in fact the ideal of the meek, docile woman can be seen as a male delusion and certainly a standard that many men would impress or force unto the female population. The drive to power is an instinct in everyone; the only thing that prevents it from asserting itself is effective oppression. In order for society to function, a pecking order must and will be established. We do not know if a truly democratic and cooperative society will emerge, or would the womenfolk, free from the rule and company of men, would pick up their primitive habits and become the "new men".

.... Well, I said that much, but tl:dr I don't think utopia's gonna drop in and say hi just because one gender inherits the Earth, male or female =3. Probably cynicism on my part, but I think it's very hard for us to drop the urge to be dominant unless there are specific measures taken, like the DNA coding I mentioned. That said, I fear that without a will to power, our kind would become like the Eloi in H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, no longer interested in progress or even the continuation of the human species. Being dominant is afterall what makes evolution, evolution =3

And I think it's better for everyone not to underestimate the human capacity for madness and/or destruction. Before WWII, the Western world by large did not think atrocities of the likes of those committed by Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan could have existed, but they did. And few would have anticipated the scale of devastation that would befall unto Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but, again, they did. Our kind is very creative, in both good and bad ways.

We now return you to your daily dosage of moe and random silliness =3

truth hurts, doesn't it?
