Karla Etschenberg, Flensburg:

Mensch Mann, was wird aus dir?
Fakten und Visionen zum Thema Mann

(Hey man, what are you turning into?
Facts and visions on the human male)

How could we get into seriously discussing the question of why there still exist males? Are we referring to man as the "genetically screwed-up woman"? The myth - still deeply rooted in our Christian culture - of man as the original 'spitting image' of god proved to be a twist of the actual development of both genders: man was created after and modeled by woman, not vice versa. The role of man is challenged more fundamentally by biology than by society, it seems. The social effects of such challenge are open to speculation.
