now that 51% of women live without a husband, the tasks or repairs that a husband does are now being done by handymen.

The successful ones are "full service" .. if you know what I mean. Get your roof shingled, and you get "nailed" as well.

Hmmmmm ... your question has two underlying assumptions.
1 - That men and women have specific tasks based on their biological sex. Your question implies that one of a man's functions is to fix things around the house.
2 - Performing these functions for money (or some other form of compensation) is a form of prostitution.
If you agree with both these assumptions, then yes. Handymen are modern prostitutes.

Handymen go to trades school to gain skills in the area they are seeking to pursue. I personally have fixed my kitchen sink plumbing and my bathroom sink plumbing because they were both clogged, and were about to flood, without a handyman. I know how to plunge a toilet too. I also know how to change spark plugs in cars. I am a woman, but not incapable.

Nah...handymen can perform useful skills. On the other hand, a husband can be a handyman, or just someone to sleep with.

One spouse for her = One prostitute for him 25 companions for her = 25 prostitutes for him perhaps he ought to purely have a week long social gathering with a team of prostitutes (3 or 4 an afternoon) to even issues out.

Thats a stupid question you knucklehead! Fixing things or installing things is NOT degrading. The women who must prostitute themselves are absolutely forced to relinquish any semblance of self to pleasure a man. Speaking of which, male prostitution ,which is practically non-existant except serving gay men is not the same. Do you blow a load when you finish bolting in that convection oven? Female prostitutes don't either.Nah, you're more the court jester! HAHAHA

Maybe your statistical 51% don't need help with home repairs. Could be that they are capable of performing their own maintenance. Women aren't morons, you know. This may shock you.

What does this have to do with women's studies???? Go ask a man. Stop whining and don't do honey-do's. So you can read the front page of NY Times - oooooooooh, aaaaaaaaaaaah.

huh? where does this correlation come from? fixing the gutter is a little bit different to having sex for money.
plus, not all husbands are the handyman type anyway
