If there were nothing good about men, they wouldn't exist.

Edit: There are vertebrate species with no males. Some have males only when conditions are suitably favorable. Given that there are men, there must be selection pressure.

That, as well as the clickbait title, plus it's missing a (2007) tag. When it was submitted back in '07 the article received several hundred points and a lively discussion. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=589346

I was hoping there would be interesting discussion today but this time users are willing to flag it and move on, no time to leave a comment.

Thanks. I didn't notice either. I just lucked out, catching it in time to comment ;)
