It occured to me this morning as I was thinking about writing a classic "the sexes don't understand each other" kind of trite piece of crap blog entry that if men really did rule the world, our economic system would be based on semen.
The dollar wouldn't be tied to the gold standard, the silver standard, or the GNP, it would be tied to semen. Any healthy man would be guaranteed a certain amount of sustainable income based on his ability to produce it and women would be guaranteed an even higher amount of sustainable income based on men's constant desire to share our semen.
Obviously, you'd still need to have some other form of representational currency. If you had to bust a nut every time you wanted to buy a pack of gum at the 7-11, the line would be out the door (and it probably wouldn't be especially sanitary) but if you were ever really short on cash, you could always make a little bit of money for yourself by thinking about Raquel Welsh.
Now, I know what you're thinking. except for making new life, semen isn't especially valuable. But neither was gold really. Gold is valuable now because of it's conductive properties with electronics but before the modern age it was only valuable because we decided it was. Sure, gold is a hell of a lot rarer then semen but it's much easier to keep in your pocket, so semen still stands up as valuable.
Women would have virtually no place except as sex objects and baby makers.
The fact that our system isn't nearly as misogynistic as the semen based society doesn't prove that Men don't in fact rule the world of course, it only proves that it wasn't a conscious effort on men's part to rule the world. If we had really set out to make a perfect society for us, the semen system would be way more advantageous than our current system.
