Non-sexual reproductive mammals - humans next?

Read in the papers today that a female hammerhead shark gave birth to its young without being exposed to any male sharks. This sort of asexual reproduction is apparently rather unique, and the first of its kind for such sharks. Other species of animals possess such ability, but it is rare for a vertebrate mammal to do so. This makes me wonder if one day women can do the same. Babies get their intelligence genes from their mums, so there's really no need to have a father if you go by LKY's aim of reproducing intelligent Singaporeans. Women these days can do almost everything that men can do - car racing, armed forces, wear pants (u seldom see men wear skirts!), lift weights... Is there something that women can't do? Yeah, dirty pervy guys will tell me they cannot "give pleasure" because they lack the phallus but seriously...do women really need that? Anyway, I'm trying to imagine a world without men, but I think it's going to be really boring because you need the men to complement the women in some situations (esp during PMS - women + women = catfights!) and some women simply love to have men as house pets (if u r reading this, u know who u r), plus there's such thing as a woman's prerogative where you can get the men to pay for you, to carry your things, to open the door, and generally be pampered by them, even when you can do those things by yourself. Life without men will definitely not be the same! I don't think God wants it that way too. Haha... if not, there won't be Adam and Eve, but Amanda and Eve. :)
