Ok.. for the sake of argument, lets take reproduction out of the picture and say that humans reproduce Asexually (without the need for intercourse). So women produce more women and men produce more men, but women and men don't need to really associate.
Which gender would be more successful at life? You have to consider that women need men for protection, access to resources, jobs, etc. Since men basically build the modern world. You also have to take into consideration the fact that men stick together and women treat each other like dog crap.
What does this say for the argument that men and women are equal?

I guess the real question here is: What would men seek women out for when reproduction is not an issue?

PEOPLE.. keep in mind the actual question. This question should be answered based on the situation I described above. Why are we talking about marriage and successful women? I'm not asking about the current situation, I"m asking if the situation was different and women were not needed for reproduction. Please READ before responding.

Yep, women definitely need men more than vice versa -- many women however have too much foolish pride to admit it.
How often do you hear a man say he wants a woman to sweep him off his feet? It all goes back to the "damsel in distress" syndrome (which is still alive today), of women wanting a man to "rescue" her and bring her to paradise.
The vast majority of modern commodities women use were invented, designed, and built by men.
Now how many women will get mad at me now that I've told the truth?

The number one thing that men and women need from one another is the companionship that comes from a sexual relationship... the closeness that a man and woman get from that cannot be duplicated within in the same sex unless you swing that way... I know that I am separated from my hubby right now (my choice) and when I do come home to see him (weekends) all he wants to do is hold me and smell my neck and back and between the girls... that you would not get from another man. Men and women compliment each other i don't think that one could be anymore successful than the other... for the sake of not sounding like a feminist women can do the same as a man and man can do the same as a woman. The reason women turn on each other is usually because there is a man involved somehow... but men turn on men the same when women are involved or jealousy is involved... so you see we are all pretty much the same and we all need the same... love security and comfort

Boy, do you have some flawed concepts! I'd say that it's pretty equal, that women need men and vice-versa. And sex and reproduction aside, there are attributes that both genders possess. Men may build the modern world in a physical sense. They are usually bigger and stronger and more muscular. But women make the home and nurture the children. And in the business world, they also lend their expertise. And where did you get the idea that women treat one another badly? I have not found that to be true. What your statements say about equality bear little resemblance to reality. Sorry!

What's ironic here is that they say men benefit from marriage far more than women do...and it has nothing to do with sex. See, men rarely admit they need help or share their emotions with others, which leads to bottling up their feelings and health problems down the road. Men who are married live much longer than men who are not, whereas for women it makes no difference whatsoever. So which gender really "needs" the companionship of the other?
As for your assertion that men built the modern world, do you think ANY of them could have done that without a little wife at home doing their laundry and cleaning and cooking and childcare? Many modern women are now USED to having to do both work & the home stuff, but men certainly aren't. I have a feeling that if men actually had to take care of their own offspring, as they would in your suggested world, they'd get a lot less stuff done.

How on earth can people think that men and women are equal? They are very very different in many respects. I am a woman and I know for a fact from many different experiences in my life with men and with women both socially, with family and in my working life that we are very different, and not just physically. I also don't agree that women treat each other like dog crap. I know many women that treat me and other women with respect and genuine caring and liking. Likewise, I know many men who do the same or others who do not respect women or men. To conclude, there are good and bad in both sexes. Also, both sexes need each other and depending on the person, one can need more of the other..this is a personal thing and not a sex dependent thing if you know what I mean.

Girls want guys to open doors, carry their stuff, pay for their meals, obtain gifts while searching for Mr. Right, obtain fun in life by dating men for fun and not real relationships. Men on the other hand, they cant put up with this world anymore (my generation)... More and more females are divorcing and breaking up relationships because they rather dated with a "Jerk" and held back the nice guys when they start to decay and decide to find out Nice Guys are Mr. Right. Girls want equal rights... meaning, same pay, do lazy things, do anything a man can do. So, still today, the generation is starting to fall where females will not obtain them equal rights much anymore because men today are feeling women are trying to dominate the world over men. I personally feel (I stared you) you are right about men building the world while women just acts like "I want this, no, I dont need you, No, Life isnt work, it about having fun, No, I dont need protection (because other men will stick up for them or call the police), I dont need a man right away) Well, girls, when you become a mother, treat your daughters to be like men to build the world and not be crappy just to have fun in life while men live miserable looking for relationships while building the world. Its not easy for a guy to obtain a female... its because guys dont wear "Make-up and fake bodies". I can go on... and on...

I don't know about if women need us more or not and perhaps not as some of the ladies here point out, so i guise not. but what i can say is i do need to be with that special some one and thus the women of my dreams, and i keep searching for her tell i thank i have found her. so i do need her but dose she need me? perhaps not but i do hope she has a little bit of a need for me. If she dose not have a need for me i can tell you this she will at some point loos me for some one else so in that perhaps they do have a need.

It's been my experience that after divorce, most women I know are quite happy for the independence and are self sufficient. Most men I know are miserable until they're married again.
I'm a woman in her 40's, happy when involved with a man or not, and have many male and female friends. And I don't treat anyone of any gender like dog crap.
I don't understand your argument in this day and age that women need men for protection or access to resources or jobs. I work for a large corporation, with as many or more female executives as male. And I've had excellent mentors from both men and women.

I would think that if we had evolved to reproduce Asexually, the need for dependency on the opposite sex would be gone.
