Men. Me and my wife had a debate. She says if it was not for women we would still be in caves. I disagree, who builds houses? Who invented the automobile? Who walked over the hill into the next valley? I don't know that women have a larger or even equal predisposition to tinker with things, to improve and invent things when what they have seems to work well enough. From my experience women will take the path of least resistance and risk when men will often go against the grain and take great risks.
Your thoughts? I hope this wasn't a bad idea. | | |

lol, I Hate Gender fights and comparsions, they are pathetic, Anyways, If it was'n for women we would be no where because we would'n be able to breed and survive, As for if it was a women-only world, your idea is wrong, women would cope and live with nature and probably achieve much the same of what man would alone over the ages. my 2 cents

The OP is referring to a world where we somehow managed to continue breeding without women?
Such a world would be far more violent and straightforward.

Such a world would be far more violent and straightforward. | Actually, if you have ever gone into a gay bar most of the fights are between the Lesbians. The guys very rarely get into conflicts.
Moreover, if they keep this cloning technology on track anything will soon be possible.
However, the world wouldn't have gotten very far without women as they insist on change. It all started when Ula insisted that Oog get a tiger pelt to cover the door to the cave. Ula thought tiger stripes would go better with the rock striations. And Oog wasn't going to get any of the "good stuff" until he replaced that ratty old bear skin. Plus, Ula wasn't ever going to stop reminding him to do it, either.
Why do you think we are still not in the Garden of Eden? Rule # 1: Never leave a naked woman in a garden and let her get bored. Rule # 2: Never tell any woman she shouldn't do something. Especially never open any boxes.
Besides, how many men change their furniture around every week?

Well, I think we can view prisons to get a glimpse of life without one of the genders. Male prisons have a lot more rape and violence, but the politics in women's prisons is unbelievable.
Still, we have to keep in mind that women may be able to breed soon without men. What I mean is that, in theory, the nucleus of a female egg can serve the function of a sperm cell. So, regardless of where we would be without one gender or another, we may end up being with only women in the world.

A man may have created and built many great cities and wonders, but
he did it either to impress a girl, get away from her nagging or did it
because another woman's husband built something for his wife. | | |

Story of socrates and his wife is also very famous but I don't know much in detail about it.
