how many men do we really need?
Think it over, they say.
Men are dangerous. Men commit the great majority of crimes.
Men are less intelligent, less diligent, less hard-working,
their brains are in their muscles and their pricks.
Men are more likely to suffer from diseases and
they are a drain on the resources of the country.
Of course we need them to have babies,
but how many do we need for that?
Not as many as women.
Good, clean, obedient men,
of course there will always be a place for those.
But how many is that?
Maybe one in ten."
