If men took a ‘day of absence’ from the world, and inevitably the world shut down, would feminists realize they need us more than we need them?

No of course not. They'd call it violence against women.

They would say that everything is set up to benefit the patriarchy, so they would need more than just a day to fix everything.

Many years ago we had a TV show here in Canada called 'The week the women left". During an interview I saw they asked one of the producers if they had ever considered a spinoff "The week the men left". He replied that they couldn't do it, because the logistics and the safety of the town wouldn't allow it since the men did almost all the work that couldn't simply be replaced.

No. Feminists are not rational beings. How many times has science proven the world is not just a few thousand years old? And how many times have millions of religious fundamentalists refused to accept the evidence? Feminists are like that -- maybe even worse.

This post is a classic

Men and women need each other. This shit about men being needed more is BS.

A day of absence only shows how ignorant that sex is.

I've posted this before, but the results of an absense of men is not pretty. The world might survive for one day but after that...Imagine if men just disappeared. Almost 100% of power plant operators, distributors, and dispatchers are men. Immediate planetwide power outage.

91% of the nation’s electrical engineers are men and 97.6% of electrical power line installers and maintenance workers are men. Said power outage would never be fixed.

95.5% of water and liquid waste treatment plant and system operators are men. So there goes water after electicity. Probably just as well though since the plants won't have any power and there's probably a bit of radioactivity by this point as well.

95.9% of aircraft pilots and flight engineers are men.

98.4% of aircraft mechanics and service technicians are men.

Almost 100% of air traffic controllers and airfield operations specialists are men.

Almost 100% of locomotive engineers and operators are men, as are 100% of the workers who operate railroad brake, signals and switches. 94.4% of railway yardmasters are men.

All transportation other than cars stops immediately. Cars only last so long because...

97.5% of the mining and resource extraction workforce is male. Cars would only run until they ran out of gas.

87.4% of police and sheriff’s patrol officers are men. 96.6% of firefighters are men. 68.8% of Emergency Medical Technicians and Paramedics are men.

No water, no power, no transport, and no one to keep the peace.

For all computer and mathematical occupations combined, 74.4% of the workforce is male. Computer network architects, who design and implement all our computer based communications systems are 91.9% men. And 94.2% of radio and telecommunications equipment installers and repair technicians are men. No one is talking to anyone else.

98.4% of heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration mechanics and installers are men.

Of all professions that install, maintain or repair, 96.8% is male.

Power, water, and food distribution and production stop more or less immediately. Social order is irrelevant because virtually all communication has ceased. The skills needed to keep these going aren't capable of being learned in the hours or days needed to prevent catastrophic failure, and of the few qualified personnel left, there are nowhere near enough to keep up with the repairs even if transportation was still working (which it isn't).

Food rots (very quickly without refrigeration), gasoline goes bad, and information becomes inaccessible without power or transportation. Minerals and hydrocarbons simply stay stuck in the ground because the people with the expertise to get it out are gone. Even with the few libraries that remain, it'll be decades before people can sustain an intellectual class again, and by that time, all the advanced machinery will have rusted away, since none of the survivors would have time or energy to maintain equipment.

Almost everything vital for modern life would break, if not immediately, then soon thereafter, and would likely never be fixed. It's literally the end of civilization. The planet is a radioactive, septic, graveyard of billions.

I wish men in power would just shut shit down for a day. Zuckerberg, Facebook; Dorsey, Twitter; Spiegel, Snapchat; Systrom, Instagram; and Silberman, Pintrest; shut it down!

2017-10-21T20:05:06+00:00

They think that because they live in their ridiculous ivory towers.

No one with even a hint of rationality and knowledge about the real world thinks that.

mensmod · 2017-10-21T22:55:38+00:00

This is silly. If women took a day of absence, there would be a huge impact on society also. If men took a take of absence, there would be a similarly large impact on society. Argue some reasonable points rather than making up a non-issue. No one is arguing that men aren't important.

boringcarpets · 2017-10-22T14:12:22+00:00

I can really think of only one part of society that would suffer that actually matters. Sorry gents, but fishing boats and mineshafts aren't as important as you want to think they are. The fact of the matter is, the majority of workers in power generating stations is male. So assuming they can put together a skeleton crew of women to run the equipment, society would actually survive. Men would have to figure out how to cope without a livelihood.

Anyone else remember how the "Day Without Women" brought the world to a grinding halt? How society simply couldn't cope with women staying home from work, not buying gas, not shopping, et cetera? Don't we all remember that historic moment, back in... uh... --okay, does anyone even remember what day that was? Sarcasm aside, that demonstration was utterly worthless, and a similar one from men would be equally ineffective and feckless.

PillTheRed · 2017-10-21T19:49:51+00:00

I would love a day without men.

_MyName_exclamation_ · 2017-10-21T20:33:01+00:00

What a fucking stupid post. Pretty sure if 3-4 billion people from either side were to disappear that the world would shutdown. Do you hate women or what?
