They would be more "successful" than women... We can't allow that to happen. So let's cripple anyone instead. /s

Harrison Bergeron is rapidly becoming reality. Rather than worship success, we're all a big bucket of crabs.

just read the synopsis of the book on wikipedia - very pointed and more than a little harrowing.

We men have genetically more drive and NEED to be successful than women. We needed it to survive and we are the genes that survived. Ask a man to not live up for this way is the same as to ask a woman to never conceive a child.

As a woman who is never having children because they'd get in the way of my career, thanks for the laugh.

I might claim 12334 + 21323 = 33657

What sources might I provide?

Do you have a basic understanding of how conception works? It is needed to understand why men must proactively find a partner to copulate. The ones that don't have the minimum capacity to succeed at this are eliminated. And this proccess is still running.
