>But they are genetically worthless and will be eliminated.
Half of a woman's genes come from their male father and their mother is also built the same way. Meaning the genetics of their male ancestors are already part their genetics as women. So if women start asexually reproducing then all the genes they already have from their male ancestors are reproduced, not eliminated.

This whole boys vs girls playground nonsense is a distraction though. My main point is men who are upset at cheating partners and lash out emotionally is rooted in evolution and therefor understandable. However I'm not making a moral argument for the reaction of disowning someone he raised. He could have behaved differently despite being upset. Nature =/= Good.

>>2560684

One could make the case that cheating should carry the death penalty; Without significant social punishment of cheating, male revanche will not only likely be worse than judicially sanctioned execution, but will also increase male disaffection from society altogether ("The child that is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." type of scenario).

A proletarian dictatorship cannot afford to create such detractors and potential enemies in its ranks (since it already has class struggle to deal with), especially when the remedy is so relatively simple & easy.

>>2560692
Death penalty takes away a lifetime of labor so you need to justify it by costs and I say it would be unnecessary. Current tech can counteract most social deception which increases social trust. Genetic testing can confirm paternity now and public surveillance can keep various social malefactors in check.

>>2560703

I see it as a deterrence measure more than anything.

If technology can also add a means to decrease the incidence of cheating from the outset, all the better.

But I would still keep the death penalty on the books, if only to incentivize your hypothesized tech solution's wide adoption.

>>2560692
>kill cheaters

What the inchell are you talking about

>>2560709

Men who are abused in such ways will likely take revenge in fairly socially damaging ways; It can be horrific violence, or can simply be disengagement from being a properly productive member of society.

As I said the proletarian state already has a plethora of enemies within & without to deal with, it does need this easily resolvable excess.

It so funny. She goes on mic everywhere saying "I have no political principles. lol" and still ends up getting fired and hated for her politics.

Does that make sense? If you really had no principles, wouldn't it be easy to just do what is politically expedient to help your career at such a crucial juncture? Nobody is making you hand your microphone over to America's most virulent white nationalist and antisemite.

>>2560684
No really, ancestral genes just get eliminated overtime. They do not have to propagate. Genetric recombination will simply eliminate them.

Remeber, the X chromosome is a solely female chromosome. It only came from a female ancestor. The male ancestor was simply a "carrier" of the female chromosome.

Men have no genetic purpose or future. They have absolutely no genetic value to humanity after the end of the century.

>>2560742
I always thought that classic Brooklynite Hipsterism was always just about being a coward. It's like that "I liked them before they were cool thing" where you can only like something when it's not widely popular. But they take it a step further, where not even the things they like, do they actually like them supposedly. They are only doing things ironically. Really I think her thing is just about trying to be edgy. Like Kanye. Just attention whores of the highest degree.

They just aren't necessary for reproduction anymore. The technology is like 98% of the way here. And the only thing stopping the 2% is the fact that it is considered "unethical" to finally make men irrelevant to reproduction. And why is that? Because they are extremely, actually, murderously and suicidality obsessed with the delusion of genetic reproduction. Which doesn't really exist for men anyway, but they cannot even begin to think about the world where they can be "men" qua as a person.

I don't hate men. As I said, I like men. I like the idea that there are boys and men forever. They just are not going to be a part of the story of human genetic reproduction because they shouldn't be and are not needed to be.

>>2560866
I'd be ok with all of humanity being turned into futanaris

>>2560866
>human genetic reproduction
You just said you would add so much outside genetic material to these things that all human male ancestral genes would no longer exist. This hypothetical creature is not human at all but some sort of artificial bioconstruct. That's why I brought up xenomorphs..

>>2560882
We don't need to add outside genetic material, but just spliced recombinations of neuter material. We also don't inherit genes equally from all of our ancestors. Some of them just get gradually erased by recombination. When you look at a grand child or great grandchild, that child might not be genetically yours. You would naively think it's 1/8 or 1/16th or whatever, but in reality, it might be only a slim percentage similar and that will be thinned out and erased overtime. Especially if you have easily dominanted genes like the weaker caucasian races.

Women receive thier second X chromosome from their partner's mother, grandmothers, great grandmothers, etc. They don't get it from a paternal ancestor. The Y chromosome isn't necessary once auto-conception is possible.

>>2557906

Zionism is a hell of a drug.

>>2560754

And you seem to me to be a total fucking waste of space and life level idiot if you can't understand such a simple point. Hopefully you are die quickly, saving much needed resources.

>>2560936
> just spliced recombinations of neuter material.
aka not human
>Some of them just get gradually erased by recombination.
And if you keep adding in non-human DNA eventually these creatures will no longer be related to humans at all. Meaning you just killed off all of humanity for your fetish.
>Especially if you have easily dominanted genes like the weaker caucasian races.
Damn a we have a Yakubian biologist here! Are you seriously pretending to be a lesbian hotep? just lol
>Women receive thier second X chromosome from their partner's mother, grandmothers, great grandmothers, etc.
Doesn't change anything I've said at all. The y chromosome is just one part of the DNA. The father's genes get combined with the mothers to get women regardless of the chromosomes and so his genes are still mixed in and will be passed down. Unless you manage to replace all their human genes of course.

>>2560973

I mean I think the anon is trolling. In biology species are defined with respect to the potential for sexual reproduction; No human males means no human species by definition.

>>2560978
>I mean I think the anon is trolling.
Definitely but he brings up some interesting scifi ideas that he probably gleaned from some femcel forum.
>No human males means no human species by definition.
Maybe. He's trying to argue different things at the same time:
<Human women who through the use of future-tech can reproduce thorough parthenogenesis therefore no men are directly part of the reproduction process.
These would still be human I think. But when I pointed out those women would still be reproducing the genes of their male father he then made a second argument:
<What if we have a successor species of genetically modified "human women" who reproduce through parthenogenesis but they have been modified to no longer have any human genes at all. Therefore these creatures do not reproduce the genes of any human males at all.
This hypothetical species would not be related to humans even on a genetic level or probably even resemble them. This is where he lost track of his argument I think.

>>2561022
It’s actually natural for male ancestors to become excluded from reproduction after a few generations. You generally don’t recover genes, you can only conserve or lose them, and since it’s a repeated process they are inevitably lost totally. Men are just genetically irrelevant creatures. Which doesnt matter of course! But it’s one of those things where the science is so fundamentally at odds with the social order that people literally can’t understand it.

I'm so glad the r/chapotraphouse nags aren't around for the Bubba shitposting

Omfg who gives a shit??? Maybe Lysenko was right and caring about genetics this fucking much is inherently fascist.

>>2561104
>>2561072
Men are the ones who abandon their families over totally irrelevant male genetics. They care about it more than anything in the world. They care about it more than life itself, than love, than fatherhood. All that matters to them is the idea that their "genetics" are surviving, when in reality, they will certainly genetically vanish. This is just what they do, biologically.

>>2561062
ancestors of both sexes eventually disappear from the genome because people don't inherit perfect halves of their genome but rather semi-random chunks
