The front page news lately has been about skin stem cells. Accordingly to scientists further research would perfect the technique, and ultimately help the concept of test-tube babies. Very good. The downside however seems to imply that men will become redundant. Their contribution will no longer be required to perpetuate the human race.
This seems frightening. Why has the media brought up this issue of the future of the male of the species. Granted, that at some future date men will not/ may not be needed for procreation. Some lab assistant will do the needful through scientific methods. Surely, there would still be a sizable population who would still be "natural" and want some romance and love in their lives?Why do men have to be redundant (as per media reports). They can be good fun, too.
Some points to their defence. And none of them have anything to do with sex or procreation.
1. Nice to have them opening doors for us, picking up the tab at dinner etc.
2. They normally do a good job at repairing the music system, formatting the computer, spring cleaning the house and such things. Whether or not they are professionals at it.
3. Most men are such good listeners. And they are non-judgmental. In fact, they don't even bother to take in what you are saying. It actually works to your advantage. Think about it !
4. We have to blame somebody for all the ills of life. The male of the species fits the bill beautifully. From the non-democratic boss at the office to that horrible man you share your house with who drops cigarette ash all over. You can put all the blame on them. After all it is they who 'rule the world' . The old Queen Victoria was never born. Didn't you know?
5. Life would be so boring without the challenge men present. They do, don't they. In the home. In the work field. In the government. Everywhere. They are there for us to out-wit them.
6. Most of all we need men to enliven our world, build our lives with, to raise families together, to quarrel with or just simply to be with. They can give as so much more than babies. What is the media getting so agitated?
My best times has been spent with men. My friends.....many of the them are men. I treasure the men in my life.
