No, if there's significantly more men than women then men then men would be having more children on average than women thus breeding out the mutation that makes there be more women damn fast. In fact their are such mutations but they pretty much balance out since if either sex gets more common the genes that make them more common get selected against.

Have you ever seen a jealous woman? The following war would most likely end human civilization.

This assumes that the mutation would be recessive and bred out - which wasn't in the original hypothetical. Or, that the circumstances that cause the mutation do not prevail through the remainder of the exercise.

Otherwise, it doesn't matter that the average man has more children than the average woman, if every child has the same 65:35 chances to be F:M

That was probably the most loveable scene

This doesn't make any sense. Try again.

Girl's dig guys in skirts. Remember Mel Gibson in Braveheart? Or was it Mel Gibson not the skirt

[MRT144]

It be interesting, but all i can forsee is an increase in apathetic women

[CapitanGarlic]

apparently, Mel Gibson is what women want. It said that on the one movie poster...

you should stick with history.

We'd have to give Asia Minor and Scythia back to a resurgent Amazon Nation. I don't think Turkey or Ukraine would like that. Tough luck, boys.

what do you mean, "back"?

[Az]

oh, and Scythia is not in the Ukraine.
