"Much less cleaning, cooking and laundry."
You wouldn't have hot water, lighting, working sewers. Construction work waste collected, phone lines repaired.
Every dirty, dangerous, job only men do woukd have to be done by women.
Sure you don't need us? |

if there were no men and with me being bi i guess id be a lesbian with lots of toys  ..... and a tool box
those men who think women are not capable of doing men s jobs are so small minded ... i was told by a guy that i could not do his job not only did i do it i do it at 7 different locations he only did one and i went on to collect far more qualifications too ... to many men have a problem with successful women |

Not needed. In vitro gametogenesis can turn any cell into a stem cell and then into any sex cell. IVG has already been done in mice and to make primitive embryos, but has so far been stopped further development due to the ethical issues raised. However it would be a viable option in the absence of men |

Would society become more "feminine", or would women just become more "masculine"?
E.g. we talk about women being more consensus-driven when it comes to decision-making - is that a behaviour that would become the norm, or would women - absent the "triggers" for more consensus-building behaviours - simply stop acting like that?
(I'm using those quoted terms loosely, for want of better ones) |

Another thought: without men, would a "homemaker" class develop - of women who generally don't have a paid job, take care of children and the home etc? Sort-of like a "traditional" role.
Would that class carry the stigma currently associated with taking on (or, not taking on) traditional gender roles? Would that class come to be thought of as "lesser"? |

In many pre capitalist societies home making and work done in the home is valued equally as other forms of work. I’d imagine that these role would exist yes but I imagine the lack of value in them is to do with the fact that they don’t bring in as much financial benefit as work outside the home. |

I bet there’d be fewer wars. When you read/watch the news about Russia, Belarus, Crimea, Ukraine, Syria, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea and the dozens of civil wars and extremist terrorist groups; how many women have you seen involved with hostilities? |

In a pre-capitalist society where men disappeared, would women share that work as equals, or would classes develop akin to gender roles? Or, something else? |

I don’t imagine they’d be gendered or divided on any basis like that no. I don’t know though it’s all theory isn’t it. |

"They’d live longer. Do better in school. That kinda thing.
They do both those things now. That wouldn’t change."
they live even longer without men. And they do even better in all girls schools. |
