Does Woman need Man

Does Woman need Man?
For gender equality purposes we should also ask does Man need Woman?

So on a more broader sense we should be asking does the gender needs its opposite?

Then you have to think about the non-binary genders. They don't have a clearly defined opposite.

Looks like we can't answer this question without discussing the definition of the characteristics of the genders. We have all seen that question being posed "what is a man" or "what is a woman" - we will get back to this shortly.

lets for the time being say a male is the one with XX chromosome and the female is the one with XY chromosomes.

Rephrasing the question "does a person with XX chromosome need a person with XY chromosome" the answers would essentially be 'it depends on what the task is'.

Traditionally/Historically women needed men due to societal and economic reasons. To be the bread winner. To perform the 'manly' task around the home etc. But in modern times women can earn the own living and the man a breadwinner is no longer needed.

In terms of relationships/marriage women needed men for spouses/companionship etc. But in more recent days women can be spouses and companions to each other. They don't even need a man for sexual relations even, as they have other means of meeting those needs.

Lets now look at a hormonal/biological level. The male with the XX chromosomes is the one that produces the male sperm where are the female with the XY chromosomes produces the egg. So the only time when male and female do need each other is in the case of biological reproduction. They can get way with not interacting with each other on all other aspects of human interactions, but if they want to reproduce and female egg will need a male sperm.

This is interesting in light of the Islamic concept of marriage- which is the only permitted means of having sexual relations, and is it understood in the context of having children.
