We Don't Need Men, And It's A Future I Dream Of

Why we don't need male help with leadership or procreation.

We Don't Need Men, And It's A Future I Dream Of

Women are subjected to generational oppression of varying degrees throughout the world. Why? Are they the weaker sex?

No. In fact, this is laughable. Women can bear children and continue to run the world- thanks, Beyonce!


Women are powerful creatures. In a country like the US, where we are allotted relatively equal rights and independence from man, women have the opportunity to explore what kind of power they have in different leadership roles. From managing households to obtaining the popular vote for the presidency, there is no logical reason that a woman needs to rely on a man for leadership. Men do not need to lead us or make decisions for us.

In recent psychology articles, women have even been cited as being more rational leaders, while still showing the ability to show compassion. Women are decisive and tough, while still being collaborative. On the other hand, men tend to be more arrogant and aggressive, as well as disregarding risk and sensitivity. From multiple statistical studies, we can look at data that shows women to be more effective leaders.



There are many women, historical and modern, that exemplify leadership. Hatshepsut was a female pharaoh who governed all of Egypt. Queen Elizabeth I refused to marry and is remembered as one of the most powerful monarchs. Dorothy Height was known at the "Godmother of the civil rights movement". Today we can look up to Angela Merkel, the de facto leader of Europe. Don't get me started on the negotiation queen, Nancy Pelosi.



In addition to this, as technology continues to advance, women do not need men for the one thing they are "essential" for – procreation.

If you think women won't eventually be able to procreate without men, you're wrong. We have sperm banks, ways to make genetic copies, and the most interesting, women being able to synthetically make a baby without a man.

Fertility specialists have created genetically modified embryos that can survive and is born female and genetically identical to the mother. There are also studies showing that it is possible for women to use sperm made from their own bone marrow to inseminate their own eggs. Sign me up for that one in about ten years!

According to one study titled, "Is there any Reproductive Future Left for Men", it is hypothesized that we may have a future without men within 5,000 generations.

From science and womankind's ability to govern ourselves, I see a future where men are rendered obsolete.

I'm sure many men will be very uncomfortable at the notion that we can survive without them. Case in point: men seemed to be triggered by the "Kill All Men" trend because it goes along with the idea that we do not need men. I have received a lot of hate for explaining this theory, we can survive without men, before.

Let me be clear that I value men as individuals. Men as a demographic, as a system, as a function of society, are targeted in this article. My dad is my hero. Some of my best guy friends help me gain better perspectives and offer amazing advice from a man's point of view. Men in the workforce, military, and more, I see you. My point is that I do not need you and that it is possible for the human race to continue as a women's race.

I dream about a society in which women are traditionally in a leadership role. As more opportunities for women to be in leadership roles opens up and scientific research continues, it could be a possibility!

So, keep saying kill all men, keep breaking up with your trash boyfriends, keep setting goals higher, keep listening to hot girl shit, and show people again and again that women can rule the world.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
