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.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
