Sure, but I'm not repopulating. I'm turning 40 next year and the baby factory is closed.

Huh...sounds kinky. I'm down.

Should I tell them that I've had my tubes tied, or nah?

If it were men then women would rule the earth. The would put the last remaining men in barns and attac them to milk machines like dairy cattle.

Reproduction would be handled through artificial incemination.

Of course I'd want to survive. Unfortunately, many men are brutish and I'm afraid there'd be a long line at the door.

If 90% of the men were gone, we'd have no one to move furniture.

Please don't make it worse by reproducing. I do deserve to survive, as do nearly all of my 7 billion fellow human beings.

I cringe at this fictional concept.
Three women in a room cat fight..I doubt such could make it one decade without turning on its own. Aside from that.. the guy could be a 'they' (new term for this upcoming generation that self identifies as neither male or female solely).
I'm a lady and can't find it enticing to be with a gentlemen who has 'tapped' a lot of ladies..For umm ...Posterity sake..

Oh that hilarious image of the scene in movie of Harlan Ellison novel, A Boy and His Dog, with Don Johnson as the boy who survives nuclear war, and is lured down into the underground surviving community.
Go to 1:12:00 The woman's laugh is great...

That would be better ratio than Surf City!

Duty calls and I stand at attention.


Unfortunately, it would probably happen when I'm old like Peter Ustinov in Logan's Run and most of women want Michael York....


I think this gender imbalance ratio would definitely require a legitimate "Safe Space" for either scenario!

No they would not, 90% of the men died thats still 350 million men on the planet thats 3 times the number of men and women on the planet before vaccines and antibiotics were invented.
so 350 million men and 3 billion women would mean that the human race would be in no danger of dyeing out.
In fact it would probly only take 2 - 3 generations for the population to balance out again, if you factor in the fact as soon as the sons of the remaining men reach adult hood the male population would instantly double or quadruple since I assume many men would have multiple children by multiple women(as they already do that now).
