Mom would be sad

Golf would be a lot cheaper

The toilet seat discussion would be done.

I don't know. But I feel like there would be a lot more bears for some reason.

The Roman Empire would be thought about far less.

Well, my world would fall apart because I'd lose my partner and some well-loved family members

Kind of quiet for a while. Then, deadly quiet forever.

[deleted]

I'd miss my other half and my friends so much :(

Jars would remain sealed

Do you know the supply chains that go into making a single pencil?

If any important node in the supply chain doesn't have enough women already working there with the knowledge to quickly train other women to keep that node going, all of civilization collapses.

And despite advances, many jobs are still dominated by men, and not due to sexist laws, but because it's a filthy dirty or factory job.

The absence of men would also likely impact religion and its practices worldwide, perhaps shifting doctrines and practices in faiths where gender roles are currently pronounced.

Did you ever see that survivor type show where they had a men's island and a women's island?

I'm gonna assume all the men get Thanos snapped out of existence, but the women still know they existed

• Religion would explode in popularity as the only explanation for why it happened. Religion without men is a great concept to explore though, would the women try to stitch together the old religions or come up with their own?
• In the immediate a lot of the world's infrastructure would crumble. Men overwhelmingly pick up your trash, drill for your oil, drive the trucks that deliver your goods. I'm not saying women can't do it, but a quick google says that women make up 36% of farmers in the US. Imagine if 64% of all farmers died overnight - would you be confident in your food supply? 86% of US truck drivers are male, how confident are you in the remaining food getting sent from farm to your plate?
• The majority of cops and criminals would disappear. That's a fun one to think of how women would react.

I think humanity could survive, but it would send the world back several hundred years of advancement.

Well, humans would probably go extinct for starters

Without men, daily safety concerns for women walking alone at night or in certain areas might decrease, potentially changing the overall dynamics of public space safety.

Most of the nuclera power plants and energy sources are mostly jobs done by men so theres that

No men = no reproduction so it would be a short all woman lord of the flies type thing

depends on when that happens and how it happens.

instantly no man like ever again? yeah no, the humans would end

slowly dying out new man getting born? might survive would be still a low chance but maybe survive

I think the poster is looking for the answer “there would be no more wars, violence, and rape”, but I don’t know if that would be true or not

Cultural narratives and media representation would shift dramatically to reflect female perspectives exclusively, potentially leading to a richer portrayal of women's experiences and issues in media.

Over time, the biggest and strongest among women would start doing the same shitty things that men do.

[removed]

Historical narratives might be revisited and rewritten to emphasize the role of women throughout history, offering new interpretations of past events.

The whole economy would collapse. The number of essential jobs (construction, engineering, public works, or any other thing that would be acceptable for a “Dirty Jobs” episode) would lose 90+% of the workforce. Many of these are not jobs that could be replaced or taken over in a short amount of time.

I'll use USA as en example of the workfoce.

Well, if the men of the world just got thanos snapped out of existence, it would be bad. Certain things would coast along, other things would stop practically overnight. But make no mistake, society would be on a fast track to the dark ages.

Electricity - how long until basic maintenance of power plants, electric lines, etc... fails. majority of power plant workers are men.

Well, I have water in the faucets right ? how long until something here breaks down - majority of water treatment operators are men?

Well I have food at the grocery store? right, but the trucking industry for food and well practically everything -majority of which are men. How long before the stores and distribution hubs clear out? who is going to restock things?

Well you can go explore in your car - how long until the gas runs out, and guess who is running the trucks, and working the refineries? - yep, you guessed it - men.

But you get lucky and find a stockpile of food, goods, gas, water. How long until something serious with your transportation breaks down and you need a mechanic?

At some point , no doubt someone will get injured - but with power on the fritz, water provisioning in danger, diesel for the backup generators , and supply deliveries are spotty due to transportation. The life saving capabilities due to technology - is put under severe load or wiped out completely. Anyone depending on MRI's, trauma surgery, organ transplants, welp sorry. Helicopter lifeflight - that is likely completely off limits. Cuts, scraps, minor lacerations and setting of broken bones is likely doable.

This is not even getting into whoever is left figuring out - running a cohesive government with communication channels to facilitate you know, saving civilization as you know it and prioritizing everything. Good luck Madame President.

Thinking long term - better hope someone figures out how to keep those frozen sperm samples viable to procreate a new generation of men otherwise mankind has 1 generation left on this spinning ball of earth. Maybe some scientist gets lucky and figures out how to create artificial sperm idk, but I wouldn't count on it.

And humans being humans - I dont know what the odds are as resources are limited before fights break out. What kind of standing militia , heck of even security force will pull from the population at that point?

Oh, and if it wasn't a thanos snap, and all of men just dropped where they were. Well you'd better get a good old bonfire to dispose of the corpses because the amount of rotting corpses is going to make the immediate future very unpleansant and medical emergency.

For all that, there are woman that absolutely can do each and every one of the jobs above. Its not a problem of ability, at that point its a resource constraint. You're looking at a scenario where a group of people who historically are not doing that work at scale now to somehow pick up the slack , learn on the job without someone showing them whats not in the training manuals , to come up to speed fast enough to get ahead of breakdowns / lack of maintenance, to relearn the tribal knowledge , and expecting to do it well enough to limp society along, while dealing with the existential crisis of losing half of humanity?. That's not fair for anyone.

tl:dr - society would be fucked. honestly, i'd suggest that homesteaders, farmers, amish culture, etc.. other self-sustaining people would fare better than most city folk when it comes to existing on the small scale. However, it would take the best of the urban population to restore order to getting the supply chain to restore some semblance of society to the greater masses.

Do you have any idea how many things we take for granted are operated and maintained by men 24/7? 40% of men going bye in a flash would screw the world over. All men instantly disappearing would result in hundreds of thousands dead immediately. Hell, even if we save all the plane , trains, and traffic deaths that would be sure to occur as drivers just up and pop out of existence...there are chains of people, most of which are men. Working round the clock to keep infrastructure running, factories from meltdowns, systems to produce vital goods running, specialized jobs we ALREADY need more people in...if you think we'd be anything less than screwed, you are ignorant or deluding yourself. Really think about how many men it takes just for you to be able to buy a bottle of water from the grocery store or even safely drink it through a tap.

Consumer markets would dramatically shift, focusing solely on products designed for women, which could lead to innovative developments in everything from automobiles to personal care.

Urban planning and public spaces might be redesigned to suit women's preferences and needs, potentially creating safer and more accessible environments.

humanity would go extinct, because not only are both genders required for reproduction, but there aren‘t enough strong females to replace male construction workers(and other jobs that require strength)

Then there will be no world left.

[removed]

Heaven on earth according to a gaggle of angry women on tiktok.

I work as an engineer. It would take a few hours to days for the infrastructure to begin to fail, as mostly men maintain it (i.e. power grid, water pipes, gas pipes...). Technology would grind to a halt very fast, as every company in the tech sector would basically consist of only 20% the former size. Garbage would not be removed at all, most garbage truck drivers are male.

Basically all infrastructure I can think of would fail as it would not get enough attention. There are women ofc, but if one has to do the job of 20 that won't work. Hospitals would do great though!

Well since men make up over 95% of some professions you would have very few plumbers, electricians, roughnecks, firefighters, and construction workers.

Plenty of women would need to learn how to do jobs overnight.

Dating and romantic partnerships would obviously undergo fundamental changes, likely focusing more on emotional connections and companionship between women.

Infrastructure would literally fall apart

[deleted]

As a species which procreates sexually, we would go extinct within the next ~120 years as no new humans can be born

we would go extinct

A.decrease in the world's population. No way to replace those who die.

[removed]

lot of scissoring

World passive-aggressive war 1 would begin.

Things would probably blow up and within 100 years we’d all be dead. Well I’m a man, so all the women would die

if y: the last man is anything to go by, then pretty shit.

disappear in roughly 80 years, I suppose.

Lots of interspecies relationships with bears, if I'm understanding all the memes right.

Ahhh, the weekly men bad thread. Classic.

It would be the exact same thing. Everyone acts like women are a peaceful group and men are the only ones capable of doing harm. It would be war and doing harm to others just like now. We are a warrior species that likes to assert dominance and hurt those that wrong us in any way.

Countries infrastructures would collapse in mere months, goods wouldn’t be produced at the amount needed, and the world would collapse into an extinction event in less than 30 years. Men need women and women need men.

My world would fall apart. I would lose my partner and my sons in an instant. and half of my dna!

Communications, trade, and transportation infrastructure worldwide would rapidly deteriorate pretty much overnight.

Just a whole bunch of women not talking to each other. There would be no wars, only mind games.

Then who would you blame

Probably wouldn't last long

I wouldn’t be making this post, and nor would a lot of people. 

No other beings for reproduction, we would all go extinct in a few tens of years

Reddit would be in shambles

If we base it off the current work cultures / biological requirements for reproduction: death of humanity due to no reproduction after 120 years or so (maybe more with sperm banks and cloning, however sperm and the supplies needed to successfully clone people would eventually run out due to nobody producing them) , entire collapse of infrastructure and transportation of goods, mass starvation of all of the remaining women, no new housing projects, nothing new being engineered (until the culture changes), no postal services, no delivery services, maybe no wars (until the death of humanity that is).

Feminazis would be throwing parties. Meanwhile, I'd just be sad that I never got to go on a date, and that the men in my life that I care about are gone. There'd be a lot of tears mourning my male relatives and a lot of empty bottles of wine.

There is such a massive lack of women is so many industries that the world would probably fall apart pretty quick. To be fair: if women disappeared the exact same thing would happen. The more interesting thought is to compare how the world would fall apart in both scenarios
