I sit here clapping my hands sarcastically. Some scientists, most probably all male, have apparently grown human sperm thus far bringing a close to this planets greatest creation… man. Now I’m not saying that sperm is all us males have to give (puts thinking cap on to come up with something really good…) we’ve given the world wars, helped to create Megan Fox, made people laugh with Top Gear, Michael Jackson, more wars and how could we forget Johnny Depp. Sadly I’m not so sure males have much time left on this planet…
Imagine seeing this sign as you entered Dover
…or am I missing the point? A world without men is quite hard to imagine, in fact, it’s what today has been built upon. Look at the inventions and discoveries over the past 200 years, pretty much all of them have been because of man. Some of the things we take for granted today such as the light bulb, the computer, internet, cars and planes would probably never have been created if it wasn’t for man. We not only have shaped Britian, we have shaped the world and for this we deserve to have a purpose in its future. That said, would the world today be a better place without us? Well, most wars have been started because man has been in power and greed has got to him. We are also blamed for a large amount of marriages breaking down, stress, the credit crunch (although I’m sure women could do a similar job at that!) and so on. Yet when it comes to power, women have never been that successful. Since Margaret Thatcher’s there hasn’t been another female leader in Britain and when you look at all the leading personalities on television most of them are male, Philip Schofield comes to mind.
A world without Philip Schofield? Impossible!
So, a world without men? What would it be like and how difficult could it be? Well, firstly we’d still have the credit crunch… why? Well women would have opened up store cards and credit cards to use in places like Topshop and New Look which would have caused the banks to go bust long before they have now. Then these fashion stores would have gone out of business because no women would have any money. Not looking good so far. Then there’s our daily traffic reports on the radio. These are normally for men who are on their way to work, but because we no longer exist these would be replaced by bathroom reports which would highlight the longest queues outside bathrooms in Britain. Plus nothing would be open at 9 in the morning, more like 2 in the afternoon because lets face it, girls need a good 6 hours to get ready in the morning. So your left with the cinema… well theres no Johnny Depp because he has been killed off so you’ve got Emma Watson instead. Which would be good news if your male, but not if your female unless your bisexual, so you won’t be going to the cinema then. Entertainment? Well, there would be millions of Jady Goody’s flouting around the place and OK magazine would have a field day. Yet if aliens did visit us would you really want to show them the best we have to offer is Jady Goody? Really? I think even though men have caused more problems, a world without us would probably be equally as bad. I mean going by the reaction of the death of Michael Jackson it probably will be bigger than Diana Princess of Wales – and many have said MJ is the greatest person to have ever existed (although that point is arguable).
I end with something for us men as some females think they can do a better job than us. I think we’re mean’t to laugh at them and not with them in this film…
