Munk Debates: Will any men be on hand?

I don't think that they realize that without men, women wouldn't exist, and vice versa.

Men are hapless inferior worthless layabouts that women can easily dispense with who have also managed to successfully dominate women in every aspect of society for all of history without even really being aware they were doing so and that owe women financial support and physical protection.

What's so difficult about that?

Feminism teaches that women are not defined by their gender role. Why would it be any different for men? What they're really saying is the Traditional Male Gender Role is obsolete, not men in general(although some conflate the two intentionally, Ex. RadFems). Can you imagine someone saying women are obsolete because we have washing machines and microwaves now?

The woman's movements are a result of technological advancement. The same thing that happens to workers on the production floor when robotics makes their job obsolete, happened to women in the 20th century. The Traditional Female Gender Role became obsolete so the culture adapted a new one that includes a much broader range of attributes. Women can be just about anything now and still be women.

The Traditional Male Gender Role is now being rendered obsolete by both technology AND by the new definition of the Female Gender Role. We as a culture are only now starting to adapt the Male Gender Role to this new environment. Some champion there should be no distinct gender roles at all.

If you believe in equality of the sexes, then you believe men and women are not significantly different in anything non-physical. Since most jobs today are non-physical(and becoming more so) then men and women are equally necessary and equally unnecessary. The only significant difference in roles is in regard to procreation, which itself will become unnecessary as bio-tech(Gene therapy and Cloning etc.) advances.

Male and female relationships now consists of basic procreation(Pregnancy and Birth) and preference. Single parents are common, divorce is frequent and relationships often only last as long as they remain pleasurable(as opposed to beneficial or wise).

There was an article posted not too long ago about Romantic love and how it ruined traditional marriage. Romantic love is entertainment, it's pleasure, it's preference. When the pleasure stops, the marriage ends and each party goes looking for another hit. Unhappy people most often stay together because of money or the welfare of the children. One only has to look at Japan to see a frightening possible future for Female/Male romantic relationships.

Or ya know, I'm fucking wrong. Maybe men are useless and unwanted vestigial appendages of a former age.
