Men's wealth, appearance and strength can be preserved well into their 80s and 90s if they take care of themselves and their finances, they'll have such till near the moment of their death barring catastrophe or disease.

And who does the sperm come from?
From the linked article. So, apparently you didn't read it.
Ultimately the question is, does “mankind” really need men? With human cloning technology just around the corner and enough frozen sperm in the world to already populate many generations, perhaps we should perform a cost-benefit analysis.
And who did that sperm come from?

I fear feministic ideas of spermal evolution believing men are not necessary.
This is not an idea/belief - - it is a fact - - scientifically.
Men need to evolve - - as society evolves.
Women have been evolving. Men can not stay the same.
Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead, only realize the truth... THERE IS NO SPOON. Then you will see that it not the spoon that bends, it is yourself.
I do not believe all your custom made anecdotal stories.

hmm... I used to babysit for a friend. She had her son in counseling sessions on a weekly basis, and a few times she had to have him removed from her home. one day, she finally explained to me why I was seeing this kid beating up on his sister so often. this was how his dad would treat mom every time she did something he didn't like, so this is how the kid was treating his sister every time she did something he didn't like.
so, although I wouldn't advise women to start families that didn't include a dad, and even encourage those couples who are having a rough time of it to stick it out and work to get through the problems if at all possible....
sometimes, there just isn't a choice!! sometimes, staying together has a much better chance of turning kids into monsters than being raised without a dad. sorry, that is just the way it is.
and to be honest, if the young women are actually buying the image some of the men on ats is portraying as the life of the single mom as being, the ohh, woa is me, she took me for a ride, now I am doomed to pay child support while she is having a good life... bit.... you are giving them false information, maybe even encouraging to go down a very rough road only to find out too late that they were misinformed! it's not easy being a single mom!! heck it's not easy being a mom now days unless you have a very understanding husband who is willing to be your partner, even if that means taking on some of that "women's work" while she is out there in the world doing some of that "man's work", unless of course, you are rich enough to hire some help... then everything is much easier... regardless of what path you choose to take.

don't matter to me weather you believe it or not... it is a true story though...
at least I am not claiming that all men are abusers, or even a majority of them are. I am just saying that some are, and for the sake of the women who find themselves on the receiving end of that abuse, we need programs that will assist them to leave that situation.
I don't believe you can find any post of mine that would indicate that I am trying to say that most men share in the same behavior... except of course when I am addressing someone who seems to be saying that most women are sharing in some kind of behavior that is selfish, unkind, unreasonable, just plain insane, whatever... then ya, I might turn around and kind of ask them if we should make the same assumptions with men based on the actions of a few of them.

more likely would be that the gov't would ban the AIs out of concern of the population levels falling so drastically after they over regulated the artificial insemination and let the cost of it inflate to the point where only the richest among us could afford it.
