After Mei finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the square.
Something seems off.
In the past, before asexual reproduction existed, women who wanted children but did not want to get married usually bought sperm from a sperm bank.
Although sperm information is supposed to be confidential, there were some people who managed to get the information from the hospital and find out which woman had given birth to their child.
He lived a carefree and happy life for twenty or thirty years. When he got old, he found that child and told him, "Although I never raised you, you have my chromosomes in your body. I am your father, and you have to support me."
If the child disagrees, they will be morally blackmailed by the societal concept of "filial piety".
If the child still strongly refuses, the elderly will usually play the victim, expressing regret, self-blame, and crying, saying things like, "I couldn't give you a complete family before, and now I want to make up for it. I want you to experience what it's like to have a father."
Humans are born with compassion for the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. Even if this child insists on persisting, there will be people in society who will point fingers and criticize him.
Or, unaware of the truth, they might think the child is a scoundrel who doesn't support his biological father, and that even a lawsuit can't control public opinion.
Furthermore, sometimes the emotions brought about by genes are really hard to deal with rationally.
That child might have a soft heart and willingly take on the responsibility of raising this person who has never fulfilled their duties to them.
In that case, what about mothers who give birth and raise their children alone for twenty or thirty years? In the end, their own children have to share their energy with others. How innocent and miserable are they?
Now, asexual reproduction has become possible, and it's only possible for females to reproduce using only the X chromosome.
She wanted to have a child, and used all her own things.
This technology is fundamentally different from cloning; it won't create a person who is exactly the same as yourself.
What was born was a completely new and independent daughter.
There will never again be a situation where you give birth to and raise your child, only to have them taken away by someone else when they grow up.
After careful consideration, the members of the Furious Heroes organization began to realize that something was wrong.
If this continues, and women stop wanting to marry men and start asexual reproduction, wouldn't that abolish men?
Immediately, a masked, angry man stood up and shouted, "We disagree! It's unfair!"
The beautiful woman smiled at the man and asked, "Why? You kidnapped me to protest against men having children, didn't you? Now that we agree that men shouldn't marry or have children, what are you protesting against?"
Someone in the crowd shouted:
"—Exactly! What else are you resisting? If you want children, society uses taxpayers' money to research artificial wombs and birth canals for you, and gives you free surgeries. If you don't want to have children, society researches female parthenogenesis and allows you not to have children. Why are you still not satisfied? What exactly do you want?"
"Haha, of course it's because they don't want to give birth themselves, but they still want to pass on their own chromosomes."
That's right.
The angry man's demand was not "the freedom not to get married or have children," but rather "to marry a woman and have her bear children for them."
If we don't have children, who will take care of us when we get old?
But what enables women to give birth?
Based on love?
No, the women here have been brainwashed, severely punished, and indoctrinated for decades, and they no longer take love seriously.
One of the rules at Equality Academy is that they are forbidden from making unlimited sacrifices for love.
The contributions women are allowed to make are things like cooking a meal, preparing a birthday surprise, a wedding anniversary surprise, or giving a red envelope on a holiday. This doesn't count as making contributions without limits.
Those who go through the painstaking process of having a child who takes their spouse's surname, or who take care of their spouse meticulously for years like a nanny... even if it's a bottomless sacrifice, they'll go to jail for rehabilitation.
If love can't hold a woman's heart, what else can?
It's all about money!
Then the angry young man started shouting again: "We are willing to work twice as hard, we are willing to support our families! We are willing to buy houses, cars and pay dowries, hoping that society can return to what it used to be! That was the normal way!"
Upon hearing this, the women in the square shouted in a voice that shook the heavens: "We don't want to!"
A certain angry man shouted again: "How tiring is it for you women to work every day? How hard is it to earn money? As long as you have children, you can stay at home and enjoy a life of leisure!"
A woman's laughter immediately came from the side: "Making money is hard? Hahaha, in a society that doesn't discriminate against women and where all kinds of exams are treated fairly, women really don't have to work that hard to make money."
A highly educated woman stepped forward to testify: "Yes, I found that programming is really not difficult. I am careful and meticulous, and my programs rarely have bugs. I am very efficient at work, and I don't work hard at making money."
A middle-aged woman also stood up and said, "I work for the Environmental Protection Bureau. I can do a lot of things for environmental development. I find that being an official is really interesting, and getting promoted is really fulfilling. It's much more fulfilling than thinking about how to win a man's heart every day."
A young woman said, "I didn't go to university, but I went to a vocational school and learned how to operate an excavator. I'm so grateful to engineers for developing excavators specifically for women! I've discovered that making money really isn't difficult; even a working-class person like me can save up a lot of money! I love children and plan to have one as a single woman in the future. I'm so grateful to society for its open policy on single-sex childbirth!"
An older woman said, "I'm over fifty and I don't want to retire. I'm still carrying bricks on construction sites. I remember when I was young, the construction sites were all men. When I, a woman, went there, they spread rumors about me, saying I was a 'communal wife' on the construction site and that I slept with a different man every night. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go. Now it's great, half the construction sites are women. I sit with some of my sisters and we apply cement. We're so happy every day. I plan to contribute to society until I can't move anymore!"
