In egg industry, male chicks are killed. Gender ratio for optimized egg production at scale != 1:1 Strongly eusocial insects (optimized hives) have strange ratios like 3:1 or ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P Hypothesis: Human civilization optimized at any collective level needs <1:1 men
In a hi-tech, collective-optimized state, the necessary variation for adaptation will likely not rest on the y-chromosome

I've been wondering if the idea of individuals having intrinsic value is just another tool of the patriarchy. I mean, women have intrinsic value, but beyond hard labor or war, of what possible use are men? If 99% of men died tomorrow the 1% survivors would be ecstatic, no?

the ratio of men available for reproductive purposes to women available for child bearing can be much less than 1:1 if child nurturing / property ownership / identity / inheritance structures are developed that are independent of paternity.
