It would all end in anarchy and here is why: The number of pony farms would increase by about 20000% if women ruled the world. I mean where have you seen a woman that never ever ever wanted a pony farm. Then the methane from the ponyies would make the greenhouse effect so strong the polar caps would melt and most people would drown or starve or die in some other nasty way. The women’s rule will crumble and anarchy will follow. ---

My goodness – so much anger and vitriol here. For heaven’s sake, people, this is the IMHO forum, not GD, so naturally it’s a lot more light-hearted. **Shirley Ujest** was talking about bombing countries with _ **shoes** _ and publicly executing _ **fashion designers** _. How on earth anyone could have taken that post seriously is beyond me. Do you really, _really_ think she _meant_ that? Puh-lease! Y’all are making me wish I ran the world and could create a law requiring anyone who displays such willful stupidity to be shot on sight to improve the gene pool.[sup]\*[/sup] [sup]\*For the sarcasm impaired, I’m _not_ serious![/sup] ---

I am merely stating my opinion based on MY life experiences. And to name call is really being a jerk IMHO. ---

The men’s rights movement would picket the AMA because men have a lower life expectancy than women. They’re trying to kill us off! It would be a felony for a gynocologist not to own a hand warmer. ---

Originally posted by Aries28 We would be paid the same salary as a man is for doing the exact same freakin job. Ask for more. In my experience if you are qualified and good at what you do you can ask pretty much for anything you want at salary negotiations. Or as Kputt suggested, get a government job 🙂 ---

maybe we could issue a grant to alter the gene that automatically causes men to go into Major Defensive Mode for Their Gendertm whenever a woman suggests, even **jokingly** that she could do it better. Honestly, such dirision and anger, just because you’re being poked fun at. ---

It’s probably not genetic. Depending on which _it_ you were refering to. ---
