ble society, believing that man was obliterated by nature as an unnecessary complication and was replaced by parthenogenesis. Then why should the government carry out secret experiments to recreate man? I'll tell you why; because it's all a lie. There is no such thing as natural parthenogenesis, and man didn't disappear naturally; he was destroyed. Our society is founded on that lie. We are creatures of sex living by force and unnaturally in a sexless society. We've adapted ourselves, by government edict, and by necessity. That's what the general adaptation syndrome is. We've diverted the sex instinct into other channels so that we can still achieve a satisfactory emotional outlet. But there's one big difference, Aubry. The government tries to tell us it's normal, but in fact it's abnormal. We've become a race of Lesbians.
"You've never thought about it in that way, have you, Aubry? You don't even know what a Lesbian is. You're one, and I'm one, and you accept it as normal, because governmental policy has made it normal. It's all part of the pattern, the long-term pattern. Preserve the here-and-now at whatever cost, whatever perversion. Canalize the emotions, pervert the irrepressible natural instincts, and keep the women of the human race quiet and relatively happy.

Enforce induced parthenogenesis and compulsory euthanasia as the fundamentals of modern economics; but all the time experiment and experiment to produce a male gamete and create a living male being to resolve the inevitable result of thousands of years of parthenogenesis. Do you know what that result will be, Aubry. Do you know what will happen if the human race continues to survive by artificial division of the female cells? The result will be a world of robots, assembly line creatures all alike, cast in a limited number of patterns, and working blindly under the dictates of an impersonal governing authority.
"Yes, Aubry, I said impersonal. You don't know why, and
