View Full Version : Men .... are they needed ?
After a recent conversation about Men & Women ... it would appear that Men are no longer required ... for anything.
Women have succeeded in burning their bras, voting, and in todays' world meet Men head on in nearly every aspect of life.
So I ask the question ....
Are Men needed any more ?

they have their uses :naughty:......but seriously......
i think men are needed...for example, i think men need to be there to guide and lead a household (old fashioned view i know) and i think kids need a stable man in their life as a role model and as a person they can respect....
women may not need them as much in a financial way, because we are now getting degrees and successful jobs, however we still come across the glass ceiling effect.....
will have a further think about this question tho :erm:
but the saying "can't live with them, cant live without them" springs to mind
There would be less wars without us.....:mis:
but would there??? think about a society where there are no men (or maybe they are kept in reproduction farms or something) {i know a bit sci fi here but who cares} don't you think that the hierarchy amongst the women would develop....therefore there are going to be women who take on the role that men would have in a normal society....and therefore these women would start wars......

Point taken, but there are women around now who will be both Father and Mother to their children and will defend their right to do it their way.
Is there a balance that needs to be sought ? Is the old Victorian view out-dated.
Why do Men need to guide ... can't the Women do that ??
:erm: /* Why am I defending the Female view

In my experience women argue more than men, I think war would still exist, less or more is debatable.
Since most the engineering profession are men the future would likely see no more innovations but more expensive clothes ;)
mmmm.....possibly, but ther rest of the women probably wouldn't go along with it....less testosterone you see....:)
hmmm im not convinced........are u saying that women are more pacifists than men? convince me plz...

but regardless, i think that kids need to have a stable male role model, whether the parents are together or not, whether the male role model is a uncle or simply a friend of the mothers....they need to have male guidance.....
why do men need to guide? i guess i am fairly christian in my views there, the man is the head of the household and the women should submit to him......not submition is not a case of blindly following the guy but it is the case that he possibly has the final say.......
and ur defending the womens view because u are playing devils advocate :p

Purely because women have a lot less testosterone, they are less physically agressive than men.:shrug:

have u ever experienced a women with pmt? :p
but could it be that actually women are normally less violent because of socialisation? if little boys fight parents say "boys will be boys" if little girls fight we get told "now is that the sort of behaviour one should see from a little girl"
Purely because women have a lot less testosterone, they are less physically agressive than men.:shrug:
But what about Jobs ... is there any jobs that a Woman couldn't do ??
They may be less agressive, but is that not a good thing, differences of opinion could be sorted out without physical violence ...
However, there is the ingrained bitchiness of women ...
In all seriousness, women need men and men need women.

But doesn't this go back to the Victorian ideals ... they are surely outdated now ... Women fight now, and Men are slammed for it, as disgusting behaviour ??

ramrod's orignail point was without men there would be less war, i questioned it and that was his reply....
Who would open all the jars?

Perhaps the question should have been are women needed ?

Point taken ... but this leads back to your sci-fi reproduction farm theory. Men are only actually required for one thing ... to aid with reproduction.
Is that it ... are Women now that liberated that they now stand on a wholly equal footing with Men ??

for socialising of children i think men are essential......
i may be a strong, independent women, but i like having a man in my life, i like being guided by him, and i like being able to rely on a men.......there is something special about having the support of a man..rather than just support of female friends (which is also important)
maybe i don't "need" a man in my life the way women used to but it is nice to have them there........and one day when i have kids i will NEED a man in my life.
Men need women and vice versa because whether you believe in God, Mother nature or whatever, we were designed to be together. All this "Independant woman" rubbish is a waste of time and men keeping women down is equally stupid - we need each other.

i'm not disagreeing with you, i just wondered why u thought so

I know some women who would disagree ... heartily :D
There is always the fight over who is the better sex, is there a better one ??
I can understand the relying on a partner, but disagree that the Man should always have the last word. Surely any relationship is a partnership, equal all the way ??

Women are medically different to men and not as good when it comes to spacial awarness tasks such as parking.
Men are medically different to women in that we don't have a single specialised area for language so it's harder for us to communicate and be empathic, we don't have as good peripheral vision so it's easier for women to spot us oggling other women, women can find mates easier than men can.
Men need women and vice versa because whether you believe in God, Mother nature or whatever, we were designed to be together. All this "Independant woman" rubbish is a waste of time and men keeping women down is equally stupid - we need each other.Thank you ... my point is should there be a conflict within the sexes. Are we not all equal.
What happened previously, Victorian times etc, to my mind was entirely wrong. I don't believe Men should dominate Women.
There are some that will disagree.
There is always the fight over who is the better sex, is there a better one ??
Nope, neither is better, both are just different
... Women can be Leaders (Maggie Thatcher) and be strong and forthright in their views and opinions ...
And didn't she go to war with Argentina !!!!! :rolleyes:
Nope, neither is better, both are just different
Different good or different bad ?

equality is good yes.......there is no better sex, when all is said and done we are all human, like there is no better race/skin colour.....
yes equality in a relationship, but as i said before biblically it states that a women should submit to her husband.....
need when i have kids because......i am of the view that for at least the first five years the women should be at home with the kiddies, thus would need to guy to earn money........reminds me of a convo with ur wfie on saturday :p

good point, and i think it is these difference that make us more interesting to each other

Women are also far better at multi tasking...e.g. driving and talking. (No that is not meant to be belittling to women...I can't drive and talk to my partner with out nearly hitting the car in front !! - Well perhaps not that bad but I hope you know what I mean)

oh im sure they can, i am not disputing that, but me personally, i want to stay home with my kids, i want to have that special bond with them....it's only fair that we get some time off work to bring the kids up, after nine months of having them grow inside of us, the morning sickness, putting on weight, the weird food cravings, and then labour :eek: :p ;)

You know, women going out to work is probably a major reason for house prices being so high.
With two incomes people can afford more, and so house owners charge more

So let me get this right .... it's Womens fault that the house prices are as high as they are, because they have liberated themselves and established themselves in the workplace.

Agreed. - Gone are those days when men use to tie their wife to the kitchen sink/Cooker (Horrible term to use I know), I think its good that women can do whatever they want these days. I believe in equal opportunities at work, I think this has now been applied into relationships. ;)

OK then.....
Situation..married, two pre-teen daughters. Partner currently not working, so she does all (most) of the housework..washing, cleaning, cooking, sort of thing.
I do home repairs, car repairs, gardening, occasional shopping.
I don't get much 'hands on' with the kids as I'm gone before they get up and partner organises most stuff for them.
On days off and weekends I try to do stuff she would do but generally pretty hopeless at it through lack of experience of the routines ! Get bollocking off partner making me feel not much more than a meal ticket at times !!
Also having wife and two daughters I am the only male influence on the household, which is difficult.
Dunno why I'm telling all this :spin: or what I'm trying to say, but, that's it ! :dozey:

You're telling us cos you can, and you know we'll listen. Try organising something new ... Day out ... visit something ... somewhere ... but plan it in advance then you won't upset any plans
I wonder what is the gay viewpoint on this arguement? They may prefer the same sex but do they need the other sex? They certainly do in order to procreate...the men need the women anyway.
I think the bottom line is that if men were not needed then they wouldn't be men.

So let me get this right .... it's Womens fault that the house prices are as high as they are, because they have liberated themselves and established themselves in the workplace.
Did I say I was complaining?
With both partners providing for the family, they can afford more, and as more people get more money, prices go up, fact of life.
Now if women took over and us blokes stayed at home....didn't the 2 ronnies do something about that?
I thought mens peripheral vision would be better than womens......
No, women needed good peripheral vision to spot danger aproaching.
Men needed good tunnel vision for hunting. Men spot moving things easier than stationary, hence why we can never find our keys!

I misread the title as men are hot air balloons.:shocked:
shouldn't have peeled and chopped those onions-it affected my eyesight. :spin:
i think by now everyone knows that i want us to treat each other as people and not as genders so really i see little point in us starting threads that just widen the gender stereotyping.

Exactly.
Think of men as having basic peripheral vision, if we ain't looking straight at it, it's blury, but if something moves we focus on it.
Women on the other hand have a much better version of peripheral vision, there's isn't so blurry, so if something is just off to the side, they can still see it clearly, so if they can keep an eye on more things at once (and they can eye up a cute bum without having to look straight at it!)

and in my experience, who would:
catch the spiders, mow the lawn, programme the VCR, tune in the tele, work the DVD, fix the PC, change the ceiling light bulbs without a chair, show the missus how to work her mobile phone, discard the instruction manuals, clear the garage out.... and so on!

you giving me hugs or teling me men give really big hugs :p

I think that is ridicuously simplistic. The vast majority of people in this world are heterosexual. I don't think this is purely for precreational reasons but because we need the complimently characteristics of the other sex. As bexy says "women need hugs"....You could also say that men need the emtional support of women or whatever....
Simply we NEED each other.
I don't know how homosexuals fit into this though. I can't assimilate their thinking. Maybe dellwear can comment? I find it intriguing though how there seems to be a subcatagory of homosexual. The masculine homosexual and a feminine homosexual. (The poofy mincers and the testosterone hirsute explosion types if you like). And of course the ones that appear hetrosexual that completly surprise you....

procreation is obvisouly a basic reason, but you are right, thereis the emotional support (which i think i mentioned before) and also we seem to be programmed to need someone of the other sex in our lives...why i dont know

I dunno bexy - I must choose the wrong ones, never got any emotional support from either of the two men in the 'significant' relationships I've had.
I'm now quite happy to be alone - well with 2 teenage girls in tow - it's much less hassle, I have no worries of being let down or anything like that.
I have learned to be very self sufficient (decorating, gardening etc) and have a good plumber, builder etc to hand.
I even get full custody of the tv remote - what more could I want?? ;)

Dunno mate - it's not happened so far! :)
I mean - I meet lots of nice blokes - but just not in that way!
I know not all men are like that - but they are the ones that are already in steady relationships - and that's a :nono: as far as I'm concerned.

yes i agree with you.........but do you think we need men?
I live on my own and can live quite happily without "needing" a man but have found that life can be a good laugh if you do meet a good one, no reason why men can't be as good friends as girlies can

yes, well we are better off without the lies, deceit and other bad things that come along with some men
As a man, I am probably not the best person to answer this, but I'd like to think we are needed!
