referred to as a strike.
But it wasn't
an organized event.
My mother wasn't even aware that other
women were doing the same thing.
One night, she just decided
that she'd had enough.
were in the dining room
waiting for
dinner to be served.
And I noticed she
wasn't in the kitchen.
And it didn't seem like
any food was being prepared.
Then she appeared with a coat on and
her purse in her hand and said...
I'm going out.
I don't know
when I'll be back.
If you want dinner, you'll
have to make it yourselves.
I think there's some
ground beef in the freezer.
And it was really
out of character for her
to be doing
something like that.
But it wasn't until I turned and
saw the look on my father's face
that I realized that something
significant was happening.
I have to admit, I was impressed that
he was able to swallow his pride
and ask me
to take him back.
But then I suddenly
had this realization
that I had absolutely
no use for him in my life.
I love
everything Iris paints.
I always have.
But I'm biased,
because we're so close.
And when you
really like someone,
you tend to like
everything they do.
Am I as crazy about
this man phase she's been in?
Maybe not.
But they're still
beautiful paintings.
I don't think people
acknowledge the issue enough.
I mean, most don't
acknowledge it at all.
But manlessness is something
which, I guess, is why I've been making
it such a part of my work lately.
Because I want to
keep the issue alive.
I guess it's my way of making
people confront what's going on.
The paintings don't sell nearly
as well as my other pieces.
Actually,
they don't sell at all.
Nobody wants a picture of a man
hanging over their fireplace.
It isn't Andrew's age
and what that represents.
He just...
He has this way
about him that I like.
lot, but it kind of makes sense.
that time painting someone,
you should probably
really like looking at them.
You think I'm
obsessed with him.
I'm not.
It's just part
of my process.
It doesn't matter
what my subject is.
It's good.
Are you being serious?
Yeah, it's good.
And it's not like there's a lot of
other men around for me to paint.
And he does live with us.
Here is it.
I did it for art class...
It's not perfect
or anything.
I wasn't concerned
with likeness so much.
I was more
interested in his body,
his muscles,
especially in his arms.
I really like his arms.
My grandma used to say
about my grandfather
that it wasn't his looks
or even his personality that
caught her attention at first,
it was his spirit.
And that's what I'm trying
to capture in my paintings,
Andrew's spirit.
And maybe, by extension, the
spirit that exists in all men.
As the number of fatherless
pregnancy claims continued to rise,
we discovered that the number
of normal pregnancies,
in which a man impregnated
a woman, was plummeting.
In fact, by the end of 1957,
three out of four babies born
were coming from
mothers claiming
to have had
a fatherless impregnation.
What was even
more alarming, though,
was the fact that every one of those
mothers gave birth to a girl.
Parthenogenesis.
It's the reason
why we get called.
You know,
instead of how it used to be
when you needed to be
with a man to get pregnant.
What? It's true.
That's disgusting.
Parthenogenesis is a form
of asexual reproduction
in which an egg is the sole
source of genetic material
for the creation of an embryo.
But this mode of reproduction
was only known to occur
with insects and
certain types of reptiles.
With mammals, however,
an embryo could only develop if the
egg had been fertilized by a male,
bringing together the genetic
components that make life possible.
But with parthenogenesis, since
all the necessary components
needed for reproduction
are produced by the egg,
sperm are rendered obsolete.
Not only that,
but we discovered
penetrate the wall of the egg.
It was producing a new protein
that hardened the membrane.
The sperm were
literally being shut out.
Even when a sperm was injected
into the egg artificially,
it was almost immediately
rendered inert.
When you take sperm out of
the biological equation,
there are no longer
any Y chromosomes
being introduced
into the embryonic process.
So every embryo has two X chromosomes
And thus,
no more males.
It wasn't hard for them to figure
out that I was the last one.
I was actually the only boy born
that year in the entire world.
But they didn't make it official
until a few years later,
when they were sure that there
wasn't any more of us coming.
When I started school,
I got a lot of attention.
I was kind of
like the class pet.
Not in a bad way.
It wasn't like I was being
kept in a cage like Mr. Chips.
He was
High school was
more of a challenge.
By that point, girls were so
used to not having boys around
that the idea of being attracted to
one was completely alien to them.
Don't get me wrong,
there were some crooked girls,
more than there
are now, I'm sure.
But they weren't
accepted by the other girls.
But neither was I,
so we got along just fine.
It really wasn't until
I finished high school
that I realized how different
things were going to be for me,
compared to
That's when it
finally dawned on me that
I wasn't gonna have the same
opportunities that they were going to.
They were going
down one road
and I was going down another.
do solemnly swear...
That I
will faithfully execute...
That I will
faithfully execute...
The office of the President
of the United States.
The office of the President
of the United States.
And with the best
of my ability...
If you had told someone
in the early 1960s
that a woman would be the next
President of the United States,
they wouldn't
have believed you.
It may seem ridiculous now,
but at that time,
people thought they'd have to wait
10, or possibly even 15 years,
before that would happen.
The changes weren't that
drastic, at least not at first.
It's not like they came out
and declared war on men
or anything like that.
But I don't think it
would be a stretch to say
that there was
an element of payback
We very much appreciate
the historical contribution
that men have made
to our civilization.
But the facts are the facts.
Women make up 62% of the
population. And that...
Actually, Senator,
it's 64% now.
Right.
And that ratio needs to be represented
in all levels of society.
But isn't your
worker replacement program
a little harsh?
These statistics...
Worker assessment program.
We only allow male
employees to be replaced
if, after a very
thorough assessment,
they are deemed
to be less capable
than an equally
