What would happen to the women if all men in
the world would disappear? What would happen to
the men when there were no women? Philip
Wileys science fiction novel, The
Disappearance, addresses these intriguing
questions. According to Wiley, if men and women
live in different worlds, the results would be
catastrophic. Wiley thinks that men are too
aggressive to survive on their own. If women
didnt control them, men will start more wars.
He also believes that women wouldnt have the
technological skills to survive in their own
world.

If men arent there to pump gas and run the
business, women wouldnt manage. Many people
disagree with Wileys visions. In fact, they
think the book is sexiest. They dont think men
are more warlike than women, and they dont
believe that women are more helpless than men.
I think if men and women learned to cooperate
more, the world will be a much better place to
live.
