Are Husbands Necessary?
February 13, 2008
Maybe not. Did you know that sperm can be created from a female embryo? It can. That means that lesbians may be able to have their own biological children. More interesting, I wonder if men will be come extinct.
The op ed article in the Boston Metro Tuesday put that thought in my head by suggesting that women might not need men anymore (sorry-no link available). Women can take out the garbage. Mow the lawn. Balance the checkbook. We can make our own babies (using technology), and even that is evolving. The last argument for why men are useful might be gone. Kinda reminds me of the Laurel and Hardy movie where they landed on a planet of only women- remember that?
My swubby- that’s sweet hubby- is invaluable to me for many reasons. And, none of those reasons include his genetic pool.
Is your spouse essential and why?
