Ever wonder why farmers don't clone cows and such?
Because within a generation or two, they'd all be ravaged by disease. Viri and bacteria are evolving all the time, and if human beings don't evolve with them, they'll die.
So cloning human beings and dispensing with men is just a fantasy. Of course, if it gets you off, have fun with it.

As soon as scientists figure out how to clone humans with a reasonable success rate, men will no longer be necessary. It will probably be another decade or so before scientists actually get human cloning down-pat. And even then, the majority of people will probably still choose to reproduce the old-fashioned way. But in several hundred years or so, it's fairly plausible that the population of men will have gone down drasticly, as they will no longer be 'needed', unless it is to introduce genetic diversity. The fact that lots of women are inherently bisexual makes this even more likely.
Sad, huh? Imagine a world without men...and even the men that do exist at the time will probably be intellectually underdeveloped sex slaves of rich women. What a depressing thought.
The main reason why cloning isn't in practice more these days is because it's outlandishly expensive and for every successful cloning attempt, there are perhaps hundreds of unsuccessful attempts. The cost of cloning an animal tends to exceed the benefits. [&:]
But you do raise an interesting point. Evolving viruses and diseases will be an interesting problem for scientists to solve, once cloning becomes more widespread and not so taboo. It will probably take them a long way to figure out how to resolve this issue, but I firmly believe they will be able to one day. Then again, I'm quite the optimist when it comes to science. I am rarely willing to consider anything impossible.
As far as female supremacy goes, I don't really know where I stand on it. In my organizational behavior class, we had to read this study about how women in leadership positions in business consistently performed better than men. Are we inherently superior, or were these women merely trying harder, because they've had to overcome glass ceilings in the past? Or maybe both? I don't know. Women are rapidly surpassing or catching up to men in almost all academic areas, and there are now more female college students than male. But how much of this is society and how much is inherent? The world may never know.
I've always considered myself to be a rather openminded person. And part of that openmindedness is accepting that supremacy of one gender over another or one race over another might be possible. I mean, if there are clear and obvious physical differences, why do we consider it such a massive stretch that there might be mental differences as well? Society has placed a taboo on the mere suggestion that some people might be naturally "better" than others, but personally I think it's an area worth exploring. *prepares for imminent flames*
