If there were no more men, what would change?

[MrScorpio]

(An episode of the Outer Limits got me thinking about this)

No more NFL

No more Enzyte commercials

Men's Warehouse would become Woman's Warehouse


More?

[Deep13]

1. Cloning would suddenly become urgent.

Otherwise, it is hard to say. Presumable many of the traditional male gender roles would be fulled by women, so I'm not prepared to say there would be no crime or no war.

[undeterred]

2. Much less harassment in the workplace and everywhere else.

[LaurenG]

3. Sex would be different.

:shrug:

[Marrah_G]

24. Only for some people!

[LaurenG]

28. Yes and I actually thought about this after I'd posted but didn't have a minute to

get back to it before my edit time ran out. Thanks :7

[zanne]

4. The world would be very clean.nt

[Symarip]

5. Off the top of my head:

Best Buy would go out of business.

Women would have nothing to complain about while standing in line for the john.

Oprah would probably have a 24 hour station next to CNN.

There'd be a lot more lesbians, but a lot less people buying lesbian porn.

The outdoor section of any department store would be lined with only picnic items.

The DOD would become the Department of Design.

The world would probably smell far more pleasant.

Consumer metrics of power would be replaced with metrics of efficiency (probably a good thing).

[mcctatas]

42. Oprah can kiss my ass...

and I happen to like Best Buy and hate picnic items! :)

[LeftinOH]

6. Parking garage stairwells would not smell like piss..........n/t

[redqueen]

8. ...

:rofl:


Hell, office building stairwells. The north one in this building... ugh.

[rcrush]

7. Toilet seats will stop lifting up

Wii will be the only game system to survive and all movies will have cute furry animals in them.

[RandomThoughts]

9. Well

I could only answer this,
if I still existed.

And if I still existed,
its easy to see my fate.
I would have no problems,
finding a date.

:)

[FloridaJudy]

10. NO one in her right mind

Would ever wear high heels ever again.

Jenny Craig would go bankrupt.

On the other hand, chocolate and vibrator sales would go through the roof.

[Deep13]

17. "Would ever wear high heels ever again."

Maybe you can start the trend. I'm glad my wife doesn't wear those goddamn things. Every time I notice a pair of those shoes, I envision a middle-aged woman with a cane and an old one in a wheelchair. I guess some dudes like them. Me, I prefer bare feet flat on the floor. Or hiking boots which tells me "strong and healthy."
:fistbump:

[Dr. Strange]

11. There'd be a lot of unopened jars lying around.

[DarkTirade]

34. And a lot of mice running free!

:P

[Lydia Leftcoast]

12. There was a "Sylvia" cartoon about that many years ago

First woman: "Can you imagine a world without men?"
Second woman: "No crime, and a lot of fat, happy women."

[Phentex]

13. Who would handle pest control?

No need for beano either.

[NewJeffCT]

51. and take out the garbage?

...

:P

[semillama]

14. May I recommend some reading on the subject?

Y: The Last Man



"In the series, on July 17, 2002, something (referred to as a plague) simultaneously kills every mammal possessing a Y chromosome - including embryos, fertilized eggs, and even sperm. The only exceptions appear to be Yorick Brown, a young amateur escape artist, and his Capuchin monkey Ampersand.

Society is plunged into chaos as infrastructures collapse and the surviving women everywhere try to cope with the loss of the men, their survivors' guilt, and the knowledge that humanity is doomed to extinction. Vaughan meticulously crafts the new society that emerges out of this chaos, from the conversion of the Washington Monument into a monument to the dead men, to the genesis of the fanatical ultra-feminist Daughters of the Amazon, who believe that Mother Earth cleansed itself of the "aberration" of the Y chromosome, to male impersonators becoming valued romantically and professionally.

Over the course of their journey, Yorick and his friends discover how society has coped in the aftermath of the plague. However, many of the women they encounter have ulterior motives in regard to Yorick. Though the subject matter of the series is entirely serious, Y: The Last Man is also noted for its humor. Yorick in particular is a source of one-liners, although the other characters have their moments as well."

No more erectile dysfunction and prostate commercials

No more big-boobed gals on mud flaps

No more Hooters

[leftofthedial]

16. no more internet porn

the battery industry would collapse, since clicker batteries would never wear out.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

52. That's silly

the battery industry would collapse, since clicker batteries would never wear out.

Your Duracell stock will probably always be a safe investment. Those of us already unlucky enough to already live in a man-less world can attest that remote business might falter, but the toy business would sure as hell boom. :P

[One_Life_To_Give]

18. Skirts and Dresses become popular again

Without guys making women uncomfortable for wearing such.

[flvegan]

19. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, etc all out of business.

As would be all condom manufacturers and professional sports teams.

[WinkyDink]

22. Uh, I don't THINK so! But it WOULD make the roads SAFER when I drive my Lamborghini!

[LeftyMom]

31. Maybe not the second one.

Easier toy cleanup.

Or so I'm told. Forget I said anything.

[krispos42]

46. I had the exact same thought!

:rofl:

[monmouth]

20. No more shaving of the legs...LOL..n/t

[MissMillie]

21. I imagine, eventually,

there would be no more women.

[WinkyDink]

23. No more breast implant surgeries.

[LuckyTheDog]

25. Fewer explosions in movies

Probably a lot less car chases, too.

[redqueen]

30. Aw (nt)

[petronius]

26. The number of stupid posts on DU would decline by 50%?

:shrug:

(This is not intended to imply that your post is stupid, however.)

[zanne]

35. Ding ding ding!

[azmouse]

27. I'd have to find another way to get the lids off jars.

[LeftyMom]

29. Battery sales would skyrocket.

:shrug:

[old mark]

32. For those darn flashlights, right? nt

[LeftyMom]

43. That was my first thought. And AA's, to be specific.

:)

[old mark]

55. Ok, AA's, but 'scuse me while I whip this out....

If something more.....powerful...is required.
At least 3 D's.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

33. Women would no longer fall butt-first into toilets at night.

[rcrush]

36. Bed Bath and Beyond becomes the worlds biggest company.

[Kutjara]

37. Stuff on top shelves would remain on top shelves....forever. n/t

[rcrush]

39. All cars would be pink and have pictures of fluffy bunnies on them.

[Ellen Forradalom]

40. In the words of Nicole Hollander

No wars and lots of fat, happy women.

[Connonym]

41. Vibrators would be tax deductable.

[JVS]

44. TV would SUCK!

[kwassa]

53. How is that different from now?

I mean, if things were supposed to be different, wouldn't TV become GREAT?

[regnaD kciN]

45. Well, I'd be dead, for one thing...

...which some people might think would be a major improvement. And I can't say for sure that they're entirely wrong.

[coyotespaw]

47. Billions of spiders would still be alive...

and The View would have higher ratings than Monday Night Raw.

[krispos42]

48. A drastic increase in industrial accidents

As millions of untrained workers are forced to try to run factories, powerplants, sewer plants, etc.

A sharp decrease in violent crime.

A sharp rise in highway fatalities as un-hunted deer multipy by an order of magnitude and car/deer collisions skyrocket.

Fox News would go bankrupt, as would SpikeTV, the Military Channel, Speed Network, and ESPN.

Randi Rhodes, Rachel Maddow, and Stephanie Miller would kick ass in radio talk ratings 'cuz all the right-wingers would be gone.

Most beaches would become clothing-optional.

Oprah would become World President, with Ellen Degeneres as Vice-President.

[MaggieSwanson]

49. No one would give a shit about Paris Hilton and her ilk.

College would be for learning.
No more STDs!

[NewJeffCT]

50. Romantic comedies would certainly change

unless some are kept around as nostalgia...

[kwassa]

54. Lawns turn back to forests.

[Lady Freedom]

56. There would to be the NFL!

I would head it up myself! Just use women players!
