Hypothetical-A bizzare mutation on the X cromozone causes children to be 15% more....

Hypothetical-A bizzare mutation on the X cromozone causes children to be 15% more likley to be born as a female over a male.....

Currently it is roughly 52% male, 48% female-assume it is 50/50, so the world population will soon be 35% male, 65% female........what happens as a result? Go anywhere you think would be interesting with this-thought of this during my mind numbing job.

Hmm........The only appropriate thing to say is:

Women will rule the world and there will be an end to poverty, war, hate, and disease. At least according to some women I know.

Some of the women I know would agree with that statement as well

thats only true for 3 weeks every month, and even then, that's if they all synchronize their "womanly things".

tass and shi have said it all.

i would also suggest, however, we use deep mineshafts to hunker down in every so often-- especially since we guys often unwittingly touch off way too many angry outbursts every now and then.

Actualy, more males are born but since males die at much greater rates at all stages of life, by the end women already vaslty outnumber men.

As for this utterly impausible scenerio (such a mutation is disadvnetagous and thus unlikely to spread far):

Heaven for guys..women would be so desperate for mates that even eeryone at poly would have dates...

Oh NO!!! It would mean the end of poly, as the posters would be out on dates!

Populatin boom. The world becomes overcrowded, famine and disease spread, ect..

you know, women say this, but i know them... they can get really mean, especially thru passive-agression. I bet war, violence, etc would either be unaffected or even increase

raghar · April 9, 2003, 18:36

It would be interesting - let this gene spread.

Re Krammerman Don't worry. They would throw things on each other and you would have fun.

Be bad guy because one girl, or be bad guy because two girls. It doesn't matter. And with two girls is more fun.

As far as many of you losers here are concerned, nothing will change. You will still not get any women.

Bosh · April 9, 2003, 21:02

would balance back out after a generation or two since the average male would be having more kids than the average female.

Zero · April 9, 2003, 21:11

Damn... more reasons why it would be better if I was younger... :T

No, if there's significantly more men than women then men then men would be having more children on average than women thus breeding out the mutation that makes there be more women damn fast. In fact their are such mutations but they pretty much balance out since if either sex gets more common the genes that make them more common get selected against.

Sava · April 9, 2003, 21:37

Have you ever seen a jealous woman? The following war would most likely end human civilization.

This assumes that the mutation would be recessive and bred out - which wasn't in the original hypothetical. Or, that the circumstances that cause the mutation do not prevail through the remainder of the exercise.

Otherwise, it doesn't matter that the average man has more children than the average woman, if every child has the same 65:35 chances to be F:M

That was probably the most loveable scene

This doesn't make any sense. Try again.

Girl's dig guys in skirts. Remember Mel Gibson in Braveheart? Or was it Mel Gibson not the skirt

MRT144 · April 10, 2003, 00:55

It be interesting, but all i can forsee is an increase in apathetic women

CapitanGarlic · April 10, 2003, 01:21

apparently, Mel Gibson is what women want. It said that on the one movie poster...

you should stick with history.

We'd have to give Asia Minor and Scythia back to a resurgent Amazon Nation. I don't think Turkey or Ukraine would like that. Tough luck, boys.

Az · April 10, 2003, 03:25

what do you mean, "back"?

Az · April 10, 2003, 03:26

oh, and Scythia is not in the Ukraine.
