How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Who Needs Men?

in Everyday on


Have you heard? There has been a scientific break through. Apparently it won’t be long before the medical community will have perfected artificial sperm.
Yes, I said artificial. Huh. Have we perhaps gone too far with this one??

The first artificial sperm have been created with the use of embryonic stem cells.

Hubby’s concern “Great. Now women will have no need for men.”

I quickly reassured him. Not only do I have no need for genetically created sperm but I need me my Man!

Why just think if there were no men in the world?

True, there would be less farting, belching and football but

…who would kill all the scary bugs we find in the house?
…who would lift all the super heavy boxes?
…who would you send downstairs to investigate the things that go bump in the night?
…who would you beg to go get the ice cream and pickles for those midnight cravings?
…who would rub your swollen ugly feet?
…who else would tell you you’re beautiful when you look like you swallowed a basketball or two?
…who would hold your hand when you cry as your babe is born, again when your little one goes to school, and probably a million other time is the next 40-65 years?

GO ahead make your artificial sperm…I’m sticking to the old fashioned stuff.

    1. Normally, I would completely agree with you, but since I am going through a divorce. I’ll say who needs ’em? 🙂 Maybe in a year or two, I’ll be back to my old fashioned ways.

    2. Yes, definitely need them! I’m not checking 70 odd pregnant heifers at dawn, lunchtime and dusk and helping them get the calves out if necessary. That’s hubby’s job!

    5. Who would open jars?

      Anyway, getting pregnant with my real man is a lot more fun than getting injected with artificial sperm, I’m sure.
