no I don’t consider men
my creator now––
the only job they’re left with is to
preserve some of their good seeds
in banks which will be watered
& overnight swell into future
queers and women.

Even if, as some predict, the Y chromosome is nonexistent in about 5 million years, some other mutation will have to replace its function. Otherwise not only is Darwinian Evolutionary Theory wrong, our species will not survive.
And I like men, so it would be sad. Maybe not the ones who drive gigantic pickup trucks to overcompensate for their tiny penises, or the idiots on Steemit convinced there is a "LGBT Agenda™", but in general ...
Yeah, I'm not saying that Y chromosome is useless now: gays and other queers have it too. I'm condemning the toxic misogynist masculine traits here. Of course Darwin is already wrong— he's been since a long time. Of course you can like men, but the problem is just those, as you mentioned.
Oh yes, I read it as satire. Which is very good satire because it's hard to tell.
I mention that because I think it is at least partly the source of that toxic masculinity.
