So I heard on the radio Thursday that some scientist has figured out how to turn stem cells into sperm. And of course the conclusion was that, at least for some women, this development means that men are now completely unnecessary.
And it immediately made me think of this song by Die Prinzen. (Can't embed it, sorry.) It's in German, but you can probably follow it pretty well given the video. Still, here's a rough translation just in case (

bbgreenie, correct me if I'm wrong):

Much has changed in this world,
And it's clear to me where it all comes from.
So many women nowadays are just like men,
Now I hardly recognize any difference at all.

They have money and drive faster cars;
After sex many disappear without a sound;
They make war and they sell drugs;
They are brutal on their way to the top.
They have power and play better soccer,
Write history and fly into space.

Chorus
Women are the new men,
Now I hardly recognize any difference at all.
They are like our much prettier doubles;
I ask myself why we're still around.
Women are the new men,
It's already so in almost the whole world.
They can do anything and they live longer;
I ask myself if I like this!

They have constantly deceived us,
Far more often than we have betrayed them.
They are unfaithful, they divorce sex and love,
Become generals and many master thieves.
They're brusque on the telephone;
They manage things fine all by themselves;
They want us only for our looks,
Pay the check when they go out with us!

Chorus

They drink a lot--even there they're our superiors--
Can survive alone in the wild,
Find no pleasure in monogamy,
And even sometimes... go to bed too early.

Women are the new men,
Now I hardly recognize any difference at all.
They are like our much prettier doubles;
I ask myself why we're still around.

Men are the new women,
They cry in secret and let themselves be beaten
While women now trust themselves in everything.

Women are the new men,
It's already so in almost the whole world.
They can do anything and they live longer;
I ask myself if I like this!

Women are the new men,
Now I hardly recognize any difference at all.
They are our much prettier doubles;
I ask myself why we're actually still around.

Women are the new men,
And even so I've just fallen in love again.

NB: I think it's a very bad idea and pray the scientists manage to find some ethics before they push the research any further. And no one's ever going to convince me that men are worthless or that there are no differences between the sexes--I'm all for patriarchy as long as it accounts for women's genuine abilities. I just think the song is hilarious because it's soooo true, and the video makes it even better.
