About this listen
"A World Without Men" is an analysis of what an all-female economy would look like. For 60 years, women have insisted they're "strong and independent." They "can do anything men can do." And in what is likely their boldest claim, they "don't need men."
But is it true?
For four generations men have been subjected to some pretty damning accusations. They're the oppressors of women. Their misogyny is the sole cause of the much-hated wage gap. They are guilty of the original sins of privilege and institutional sexism. And this says nothing about the rank mockery and, often times, outright hatred men receive in the media, government, and our schools. But perhaps the most damning accusation of them all is that men are no longer needed. That they are now somehow obsolete. That men have no value to society, and therefore their entire existence is ultimately pointless and irrelevant as they serve no purpose.
But as "The Sex War" approaches its 60th anniversary, and the intersexual screaming reaches a fevered pitch, did anyone take the time to see if women's original claim was at all in any way true? That women were NOT dependent on men? That women truly and factually did not need them?
This book does precisely that.
Using data from the US Department of Labor (among many other resources), "A World Without Men" recreates what an all-female economy and society would look like, and sees if women could survive without men. With 97% of plumbers, 98% of electricians, and 96% of mechanics gone, would the world of women, full of HR managers, elementary school teachers, and essential oil saleswomen, be able to live without men?
Would the vast and intricate infrastructures society relies on today like our highway system, satellites, sewer system, and electric grid continue operating flawlessly as they did before? And what of innovation? Would women—finally "liberated from the shackles of men"—be able to go and invent cold-fusion, a cure for cancer, or colonize Mars? After 60 years of hearing how women are truly equals...yet are perennial victims... "A World Without Men" is a "put up or shut up" analysis that is long over due about the efficacy of feminism and how serious women are about achieving equality.
The real analysis, however, is not so much who's producing what, or what our society would look like with only 3% of the farmers it has today. It's the tremendous economic and social consequences that would result if you were to remove the entire male sex from society. Not so much in a hypothetical situation, akin to a science fiction fantasy where the planet of "Amazonia" is an all-female society. But in a very real scenario where you've actually told generations of men they're not needed, passed laws to discriminate against them, demoralized them through media and government, even going so far as to tell them they're hated.
Because whether you realize it or not, society is getting what it asked for. Feminists are getting their dream come true. We are increasingly living in a "World Without Men." And it is a fascinating world indeed.

Bad form
Typically a fan of the author and have kept up with his work since Bachelor Pad Economics, however this book has been awful to listen to. A World Without Men is essentially an elongated thought experiment, akin to what you would hear losers in a college dorm room discuss after striking out at a party. This book really tries to hammer home how much men are needed in society, detailing the level of parity between the sexes when it comes to meaningful jobs, all while taking swipes at women for being pretty much useless. A real miserable listening experience and would highly recommend you avoid this doom and gloom type content.
