What would happen to the women if all the men in the world would disappear? What would happen to the men when there were no women?

Philip Wiley's 1951 science-fiction novel, The Disappearance, addresses these intriguing questions. The answers show us how society has changed since the 1950s. According to Wiley, if men and women live in different worlds, the results would be catastrophic. In Wiley's vision, men are too aggressive to survive on their own, and women are too helpless. If women didn't control them, men will start more wars. If men aren’t there to pump gas and run the businesses, women wouldn't be able to manage.

If Wiley is alive today, would he write the same novel? Today, a lot of men take care of their children, and a lot of women run businesses. If Wiley were here to see these changes, he learned that men are not more warlike than women, and women are not more helpless than men. I think if all people, both men and women, learned to cooperate more, the world will be a much better place.
