Men are not
really need for both reproduction and parenting. Women are not just becoming
men's equals. It’s increasingly clear that
“mankind” itself is a gross misnomer: an uninterrupted, intimate and essential
maternal connection defines our species.
The behaviour of mammals is how we bear and raise our young, 20%
of our life span is the legal responsibility of our parents.
Meaning of mammals
- a warm-blooded vertebrate animal of a class that is distinguished by the possession of hair or fur, females that secrete milk for the nourishment of the young, and (typically) the birth of live young.
Our choices in reproduction are expanding. Women can
reproduce without men. The data on females raising children alone is
encouraging. It’s poverty that hurts children, not the number or gender
of parents.
From the production of the first cell
(egg) to the development of the foetus and the birth and breast-feeding of the
child, fathers can be absent. They can be at work, at home, in prison or at
war, living or dead.
Women body produces the egg that starts life. She is the one
to carry the baby for nine months. The man part of conception only takes
a few minutes of his time, and then he leaves......
The women are bonded to her baby as she breast feeds her baby.
Even if she does not breast feed, and bottle feeds, it’s the women that take
care of the baby mostly. Rarely or seldom does the man share
this with the woman?
A woman can have a baby without a man; she needs to secure sperm
from a donor (living or dead). The technology the self-impregnating woman
needs is a straw or turkey baster, and the basic technique has not changed much
since. If all the men on earth died tonight, the
species could continue on frozen sperm. If the women disappear, it’s
extinction.
Ultimately the question is, does “mankind” really need men? With
human cloning technology, just around the corner, and enough frozen sperm in
the world to already populate many generations.
It’s true that men have traditionally been the breadwinners. But
women more and more are becoming the bread winners, gaining better
educations, and their numbers are growing. Men divorce their wives and the
women are left to take care of the children, they are forced to be the head of
the family, they are forced to be the breadwinners. There are lots of
divorced fathers out there that divorce their own kids, when they divorce their
wives. As a result their children are left without a father to raise
them. I don't care, for whatever reason the father is not there. If
the father is worth anything as a human being, he will do everything in his
power to make sure, that his children don't grow up not knowing their fathers.
Take the single mother, the man knocks her up and decides to run for it.
The man does not need to marry her, just make sure that he helps provide
for his kids. Be a father to these kids.
Men are raised by their mothers to be "mama" boys; this
is not a good thing. Boys and girls are no different, only in the way their
mother has raised them, which make men, into insecure people who are then
incapable of taking care of a family. Mothers have a lot to answer too, with
how they raise their boys.
Society has dictated that men should be the one that takes care of
his family, be the head of the household. Wife and children must respect these
men, they are the back bone of the family, well, and that’s how it should be.
This rarely ever happens. Provide for their every need, but when a man
has emotionally baggage that he carries from his childhood, he is more inclined
to abandon his family and start all over again. Raising a family is no
picnic in the park and it requires a lot of hard work, both from the mother and
father!
I know from my own experience, my mother taught us to respect our
father. My mother never disagreed with my father in public. Discussion
was never held in front of us. Discussion where held in the privacy of
their bedroom. My mother opinion with my father counted very much with my
father. It was not that he was the head of the family, and she the wife,
and must obey every command. They really had a very good marriage. As a
father my father was not very good at it. He left my mother to raise us.
My father was always too busy to spend time with us. It was like
not even having a father.
I am a single parent, the father of my children never acknowledge
his children. My children grew up without their father. I am lucky
that they turned out to well-adjusted adults. He provided hardly any
financial support for them; I had to battle on my own!!
Interesting fact
The geneticist J. Craig Venter showed that the entire genetic
material of an organism can be synthesized by a machine and then put into what
he called an “artificial cell.” This was actually a bit of press-release
hyperbole: Mr Venter started with a fully functional cell, and then swapped out
its DNA. In doing so, he unwittingly demonstrated that the female component of
sexual reproduction, the egg cell, cannot be manufactured, but the male can.
