Does anyone else think we should limit the number of baby boys being born?

If there were fewer boys born, there would eventually be fewer men.

Historically, men did most of the work, especially physical labour. Today, women can do nearly all the things men used to do; and physical strength is no longer necessary in a world where we have electric motors. In any case, there would still be some men around to do the small fraction of jobs that could not be fully automated.

Most crime -- and especially most violent crime -- is committed by men. There would be less crime overall, and almost no violent crime, in a world without men. There would be fewer wars. At worst, two countries' presidents might not talk to each other for a week if they were seen in public wearing the same shoes.

Sounds like a win all round to me. And no man living today need die of anything but old age in order to achieve it.

    That's one way to go back to the stone age and possibly save the planet. I'm with you.

    If you ladies go around trying to limit the male population then men should rise up and throw you back in the kitchen. Lets see how that superior strength is useless then. Men having superior strength means we don't have to deal with your ****.

    Oh and no, you not trying to kill me doesn't mean I won't stop you by force. You're not going to purposely try to lower the population of men without being killed yourself.

    There are too many of us. We've polluted the air, water, and even most of our arable land. The planet isn't supporting it's current population. We are NOT in any danger of becoming extinct. If we had a total moratorium on births, starting today, it would be almost 20 years, before it was noticeable. We aren't dying fast enough. Yes we MUST limit the number of baby boys AND girls. NOW!!!
