Men can suppress their emotion, not their sex drive. Women can suppress their sex drive, not their emotion. What is the reason for this, the underling reason is that one carries all the burden.
One thing I have noticed about women, and why they may sometimes appear pretentious over men is their "amazing ability to bear children". And this is also subconsciously part of why men even as early as 14 year old boys have their occasional fascination with women. Having and bearing children is a very deep primal instinct instilled in all mammalian brain. Once we invent artificial wombs, my hypothesis is that the sexual and emotional attractions between both sexes will be more balanced and stable, though not necessarily better. At least we could finally answer the age old dilemma by having women and men becoming better friends by sharing feelings, and probably even better relationships. Ergo the best relationships are the ones where no one party bears any more or less burden. Everything has to be balanced in a good relationship. Men will become more emotional, and women would probably become impressed by men by finding them sexier. Like I said, all living things graduate towards the ones which can bear children, usually the female, which is also why human females biologically graduate towards other females. Some societies including the West have an unfavorable sexual balance, sexual priority is given to the women, and men are made to chase or long for their delicate attention. Women are paraded in the media, almost in an intentionally teasing fashion. Meanwhile, these societies have illegalized prostitution. What you now have is a sexually deprived and unproductive male population, which usually leads to men driving women crazy, rape, and unhappy relationships. Maybe nature made it this way, that sexual and emotional charges are so polarized in Humans, but in other facets of nature, including science, which is also nature, balance is almost always more favorable.
To create an artificial womb shouldn't be that hard, not after we can clone humans. If we can clone humans and map their DNA, we surely can feed and shelter them in their early stages of life. There are currently two ways of artificial wombs, one transplanted in females and one entirely cultured outside of the female. I think this is a great idea, both for men and women, and a way to fundamentally develop perfect babies. Some experiments have yielded offprings, but for now they are usually deformed and die in a few weeks. I think artificial wombs are still infact inevitable in the near future. Certainly more plausible than brain transplant.
...Another form of artificial uterus is one in which tanks are filled with amniotic fluid which is maintained at body temperature, and the embryonic umbilical cords are attached to external pumps which regulate nutrient intake and waste outflow. A potential advantage of such a system is that it would allow the fetus to develop in an environment that is not influenced by the presence of disease, environmental pollutants, alcohol, or drugs which the mother may have in her circulatory system. However, it would also not benefit from the protection of the mother's immune system. Alternatively, it would also reduce the chances of miscarriage and premature births by allowing the embryo to develop full term outside the mother's uterus, transferred after the initial 17 weeks of implantation. Such research is being conducted by Dr. Yoshinori Kuwabara at Juntendo University in Tokyo...
...The closest approximation of an operational machine-womb was created about five years ago. In experiments at Juntendo University in Tokyo, an acrylic box was filled with a liquid similar to amniotic fluid. A goat embryo, removed by cesarean section after four months of normal gestation, was placed in the chamber and its umbilical cord hooked to tubes connected to an artificial placenta. Most of the kids died, but a few survived up to three weeks, reaching full term for a goat. None was without deformities or lung problems. The experiments are no longer under way...
But as we all know, intentions don’t mean much once an innovation is released. Liu thinks she and her team should have a viable mouse womb in 5 to 10 years. A human model will take longer—“10 years, maybe, or a little more,” she says, assuming that restrictions on fetal testing are lifted or eased. “It could take as much as 50 years, but I’m very hopeful that this is possible.” Her voice is soft. “It will be helping a life, a baby, helping parents. Those are good things, and that’s all I can be thinking about right now.”
