Homo erectus extinctus
2008-08-22
Is nature determined to make men extinct? Senior scientists believe that women may evolve as humanity's sole representatives -- and social and political trends are lending weight to their theories.

#19  My favorite comment on this exact subject: Chris Rock

"Yeah, you can DO it, but that don't make it a GOOD FUCKIN' IDEA!"

#18  Procopius, that's a cool sounding name for a post-modern warrior-barbarian too.

#17  Nah, just the British variety homos. There are 2 kinds of humans in this world, ones who grow a pair and those who spread 'em.

#16  We ARE the barbarians Procopius!
We are the last defenders of manliness.
We WILL drink the sacramental beer and weild our unregistered assault weapons (semi-auto of course). Those that stand in our way will be brought low, and they shall know the wrath of our might. And we shall see them driven before us, and hear the lamentation of their women. Which will be indistinguishable from their lamentation, cause they're all just a bunch of crying pussweeds.

#14  "I don't really want his father to try to have any input into how he grows up. I want all the parenting to come from me"

Fatherless children. That's worked out really well in the inner city. /sarc

PS:  this female does her own poop-scooping.  Mr. Lotp does a great job at lap providing, however.

#11  It'll last just as long till the barbarian shows up and there are no more protectors around to 'man' the walls. That's when their evolutionary experiment will end, along with their genetic line.

#10  Resistance is futile. It's all part of the PLAN.

#9  But...who would there be to kill spiders and pick up dog crap in the yard?

#8  And they called this science?.
This is nothing more than science fiction.

#7  I donÂ’t really want his father to try to have any input into how he grows up. I want all the parenting to come from me.

Which explains the complete pussification of the modern male and will allow cultures with aggressive males to dominate, conquer and extinguish ours.
Funny how "studies" like this never take into account nature and its true role in evolution. The weaker species is always pushed out by more aggressive/adaptive ones.

How is this any different from the way most women think now in the U.S., enabled by divorce law?

So, my family is at the very cutting edge of evolution.

#2  I suspect that "studies" like these reflect more on the researcher than anything else.

#1  women may evolve as humanity's sole representatives

Fine. I wasn't planning on evolving anyway.
