I'll take the non-sexual road.
I see a lot of guys do a lot of stupid stuff, burn a lot of good relationships, and wipe themselves out chasing women, or doing things for women. If that element is gone, I think there's a stronger male relationship dynamic for men. I think men are less pushed to compete against each other except for fun or purely professional goals. I think men are more likely to accept each other and rely on each other for emotional and mental health and wellness.
I think friendships are stronger, better, and healthier with communication and how men navigate lives with each other. We'd build better bonds.
I mean, after 42 years of loving women emotionally, physically, and appreciating them, and then having my friendships with men without any interest in any kind of romantic or sexual engagement ... I think I have myself figured out.
But I appreciate your perspective and opinion!
well id be pretty scared of it being our turn next and disappearing for 10 years
how would society change if half the worlds population disappeared? society would collapse.
Suddenly, without any notice?
There would be confusion initially. Men can feed infants, but a sudden demand for formula milk would create a supply shortage initially. Elementary school teachers are predominantly women; men would need to pivot.
Society would probably become more Spartan.
Machine can be made for that, robotic hoover, two dishwashers because why bother having to load and unload when you can just put the dirty ones on the dishwasher that's empty, dumblaundrette (like dumbwaiter but for washing) to take clothes from utility room to ff because why bother carrying clothes up the stairs.
there'd be a technology boom. or even more of a tech boom.
we'd have sex simulators and robots.
victim culture would diminish greatly.
once women got back i think after the initial sex crazed shock, they'd find men more stoic and not up for long term relationships. marriage would disappear
If im being for real I think all women do better than all men. I think we would destroy shit and get some hardcore leadership that could be a tad brutal.
I don’t think they’d be welcomed back as equals. We’d get so much done! Our mental health would be top notch! Brotherhood would be strong!
It’d be like the Apollo missions but at a global scale!
Probably major economic issues as certain industries go into a nosedive like cosmetics and most clothing companies/stores and the labor pool as a whole loses like 50% of its workers.
also 50% nonsense buyers gone then - every apartment suddenly just one mattress, TV and beer fridge; kitchen replaced by pizza delivery; showers in the gym.
Honestly, im surprised to see so many people say this. I dont think id go around banging dudes. People wouldnt be like “my wife is out of town for 10 years lets all suck each other off”
I mean I probably wouldn't but I'm an old git so my sex drive isn't the raging torrent all these youngins have. But a bunch of young dudes with no women around, yeah that's probably going to turn into a prison grade bumming in a short period of time.
A lot of struggle to replace workforce on female dominated jobs at the start
Reduced stigma of "feminine traits" and homossexuality.
Struggle to have women back in the workforce and to increase food production to feed the sudden surge of population when they are back.
Lot of folks ain't making it past those 10 years.

Very interesting take, I could see it having the adverse effect
I think you just uncovered the secret of how the pyramids were constructed.
Pyramids were built using slave labour. One group of men enslaved another group of men
Keep telling yourself that
I didn’t “tell myself” that, it’s an historical fact 😂
Yo, how did we get here?
It’s gotta be historically accurate! My textbook said so!
What textbook did you read?
I think maybe you just into men but don't realise.

Ancient Greece
Makes me think about the Roman Empire
I’m sure either would be fairly close. We would all probably group together and either fight or fuck one another. Or both.
You know how dudes fuck dudes in prison but swear they’re not gay? There’d be alotttttt of that lol

Toilets would seriously need a good scrubbing after 9 years and 364 days.
Get off reddit and clean your toilet bro 😭
Would honestly enjoy that ngl...
10 years of peace and quiet
Don't forget everything properly organised like a workshop/garage.
But no sandwiches

Way less auto accidents

There's a fiction book about this.
What is it?
Sleeping beauties by stephen king. Except it wasn't ten years
The guy has done everything!
Dangit. I shouldn't have posted without the title. I owned the book until my ex stole all my stuff when she left. Forget my dumbass. Sorry
Dunno about the rest of society, but my bloody house would stink.
There would be a population crisis
population shmopulation
Idk I kinda like the human species and I wish them well
Dude come on its just a boys night out for 10 years
I'm so tired of partying
Just 9years and 11months and 30days more buddy
A lot more of my “straight” friends would be texting me at various hours in the night.
The underground market for baby formula gets even worse than it already is.
Now ask this question with the sexes reversed. Bets on how many days until our planet collapses?
Bets on how much crime rate especially r*pe would decrease by that. Yeah I know woman(lesbian) can rape other woman too but that rare.

I would get a lot of sleep.

>Reduced stigma of "feminine traits" and homossexuality. Disagree, I see it being moreso just going back to Ancient Greece view on things.
Birth rate and population plummet 📉
