    Women? No. Why would you assume that?

    Women are weak.

      Realistically, if we went all monosexual, wouldn't it be all-women instead of all-men? You could make it so women could reproduce only women fairly easily by just manufacturing X sperm... how would we get an all-male society? It wouldn't be possible.

        You don't think in 5 billion years we could grow fetuses outside of a womb?

        In fact, we could perfectly control the environment of a baby with science. Make it even better than the womb.

          I guess we could just take an X and a Y from two different guys and do it that way but then why would these gay overlords specifically ignore the possibility of an XX pairing?

            We can do whatever we want to DNA. Designer babies. Perfection.

                  Actually, it would be easier to make a race of all women.

                    What is right is not always easy.

                    A race full of women would get nothing done.

How much do you think we will have changed?
                      The oldest evidence of life I can remember is in the Issua Greenstone in Greenland which is dated from 4.96 billion years ago and, I believe, the total age of the Earth is 5.15 billion years old and right now the sun is half way through it's life cycle so in ~5 billion years the solar system will die. So it is a good bet humans won't be around, at least on planet Earth, in 5 billion years since the solar system will be dead by then.

                        I don't think an all-male monosexual humanity would happen 'naturally' meaning with respect to... god, how would you describe it without causing confusion with the very unnaturalness of the whole thing? like a logical human adaptation arrived at because of something... I don't know.

                        Like an all-female society is easy to imagine because suppose Y chromosomes started being corrupted somehow and were no longer able to bring about male babies... then X chromosome sperm would be collected and preserved and used to fertilize female eggs when needed... all female species. Plus you could always take out female X chromosomes and pair them together when the sperm runs out (similar to your all-male system)

                        With an all-male... there's the plus that men with both X and Y are technically with the aide of technology, capable of producing both males and females... so why would they not also produce females and make the whole thing easier by having males and females again? Why would they keep doing the difficult thing and combining X and Y's in a lab when they could just make some women and use nature's lab?

                        You see what I'm saying? An monogender society is only going to be female. Not male. If it's male and they are able to reproduce with sperm only then they can make women just as easily as more men. We'd go back to having females right away. With females... once, we hit all female, it's all females forever.

                          Alby, why are you being so stupid?

                          Can you imagine how dysfunctional an all-female society would be? WE NEED TO MAKE MORE THINGS OTHER THAN SHOES.

                            Because nature's lab is messy with a lot of screaming.

                              What the ****?

                              Again...

                              A monogender society is only going to be female. Not male. If it's male and they are able to reproduce with sperm only then they can make women just as easily as more men. We'd go back to having females right away. With females... once, we hit all female, it's all females forever. Men become impossible.

                              therefore, a monogender species is going to always be female and not male.

                                What you're saying makes no ****ing sense.

                                This is 5 billion years in the future. We can do whatever the **** we want with the DNA. Want to swap some X and Ys? Why the **** not?

                                See what I'm saying?

                                So let's skip over the inconsequential **** like DNA. Focus on the sociological effects.

                                Society of men vs society of women.

                                Go to a Justin Bieber concert and tell me a society of women would work. DO IT.
