Men No Longer Necessary
from the oh-well dept
It seems that those of us who are of the male gender are not really needed much any more. We may even be in danger of extinction. We have shorter life expectancy, higher rates of major diseases, and we also have more issues with alcoholism, mid-life crises, depression, anger, substance abuse, and violence. Now that there are spermbanks, same sex marraiges, cloning and in-vitro fertilization, the "need" for men is going away. I swear this reads like an article from the Onion or an April Fools joke. I don't think I would be surprised if Professor Seigfried Meryn turns out to be someone like well known media-prankster, Joey Skaggs. However, you would think that the British Medical Journal would check out these things before running with them, so maybe it is real.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
