What would the world look like with no women?

r/

This is a really random, hypothetical question. I had a shower thought the other day, thinking about how in the Marvel movies, Thanos snapped one half the population, and it lead to global economic destabilization.

But what if he’d snapped all the women and girls away? So only men and boys remained. What would change? What would stay the same?

It seems like a mix of Children of Men and Avengers. Please, serious answers only, I’m genuinely curious what people think the world would look if there were zero women or girls.

    I mean we get one generation and then there’s no more humanity, so there’s that. Maybe we’ll figure out some sort of cloning tech to keep going, but I don’t see how we could scale it up to maintain a global population.

    Pretty fucking hopeless unless we can figure out a way to birth people.

    Despite all the complexities, men and women are complementary. We bring different stuff.

    A world with no women would be incomplete and half as beautiful.

    I mean it wouldn’t last very long. But sure would be nice and quiet for a bit.

    Less nagging? Lol. In all seriousness without women, the human race would eventually end. No more babies, equals no more humans. I mean, if all the men were eliminated, but there were still sperm donor banks, the world would live on.

    Half full. Or maybe half empty.
