Who really rules the world? Men? Or Women? With the popular topic continuously brewing, the answer is still up in the air about who relies on who.

Antioch Community High School science teacher Robert Schrader said, “If you didn’t have one or the other, there would be no propagation of the species. From a biological stand point, you’re done.”

But putting aside the biological and scientific reasoning, who would suffer more?

“The traditional role of men is that they are the providers of the family. That they are the ones that have the jobs and support everybody.  The modern role that both men and women should be equal in is relationship or family. They should both be the providers and should split the domestic traits as well,” said ACHS English teacher Sarah Ogborn. “Traditional roles of women would be to take care of the house and raise children, but of today, still lots of women take on the role of parent, caregivers or ‘domestic goddess,’ whichever you may have.”

From the traditional standpoint of the argument, if all women were to disappear off the face of the earth, what would happen? Would the house be a mess? Would the kids run wild?

“If my mom were to just disappear one day, our house would be disgusting and my brother and I would be eating mac n’ cheese and
pizza every night for dinner. If my dad were to disappear, the house would still be clean, but there would be no consequence,” said junior Kyle Babcock.

If, instead of men, women were in charge of our government and military, how would it be different? Would countries just ignore each other and go without talking? Or subtweet each other constantly?

“In some ways, there would be less aggressive actions, not in every case, but more attention would be brought to family and maternity leave. Women’s issues would have a greater voice. I think culture would change theoretically,” said Ogborn. “In all honesty, I think if we had fewer women, we would suffer. The women that are present. There would be a lot going for them and feel scarce. If there was a lack of women, I think violence towards women would increase and the world would become more aggressive.”

“I couldn’t imagine a world without women. There would be way too many men,: said Schrader.

With the bias answer still unclear, there is no way to tell exactly what the outcome really is. The only real way to tell is if one or the other disappeared completely.
