"That the child will be well balanced with just two moms: Well, that's been proven back in the 40s," explained Natalie, who is also a child psychologist. "It's the care giving and the relationship between the care-giver and the infant that is the important part."

Try it worldwide and see how you fare.

“A world without men” ping.

How are they going to decide who does the digging and who holds the flag at those construction sites?

[Vaquero]

very little will get accomplished without people with stones.

[SolidWood]

The Feminazis still pondering about gendercide, I see.

[newheart]

Cool. Toward the end just think of the benefits men can accrue under endangered minority status.

Imagine how the world will look when the trash is NEVER taken out, the lawn NEVER gets mowed, the oil is NEVER changed and shopping is considered a PROFESSION.

This B.S. has been repeatedly debunked.

The Y chromosome (or iternations of it) have been around sicne the dawn of male/female sexes in animals.

The Y chromosome, also, unlike other chromosomes, has copies of itself on itself, and repairs itself.

A female analog is the mitochondria, which similarly is asexual it its DNA replication.

It’s just lesbian wishful thinking.

I can imagine a world without other men...leaving me and my parthenogenetic buds...like, oh, I don't know, Milla Jovovich?

“Could Laura mount a defense? “

I mounted a fense once, or is that too much information.

“Every generation one percent of men will have a mutation which reduces their fertility by 10 percent,” explained Sykes. Unlike most chromosomes, the Y does not travel through the generation in pairs, so can never repair itself from a mirror. Flaws are never repaired. “So if that goes on for generation after generation,” Sykes argued, “eventually there are no functioning Y chromosomes left.”

Nonsense. Back-mutation is a form of repair and selection will naturally ensure that the fertile males who reproduce will pass on the functioning Y chromosome.

What was the old commercial, “There is an unlimited supply of Bud Light, and we are the only men here, and we can never leave......We can live with that.”

[contemplator]

We went in search of what could be the template for the survival of our species

What they went in search of and what that might turn out to be are two different things. This is what the article avoids mentioning. Whether or not they went searching for something to support a gay and/or feminist agenda which they are now spinning as something which could be used as a backup plan in case they can't figure out how to save the male gender. Wait a minute, nowhere in the article did it mentioning saving men.....

[Eurale]

So, that will just leave females and gays?

[snarks_when_bored]

(grin)

[DungeonMaster]

This thread is begging for pictures of women.

[Don W]

Any credibility I had given this scribbler went out the window with “Kimono Dragon”, and its editor needs a kick in the posterior as well.

[Resolute Conservative]

“Men are genetically modified women”

No, man came first then woman, so that is backwards.

[Slings and Arrows]

Ha! Just wait until they need the "services" that only men can provide!

[Killing spiders, investigating strange noises in the night, parallel parking...what did you think I meant?]

[Red Badger]

There was a movies about that........
