Wow! This story had me all types of upside down and sideways. There is no "love story" here, to me its just some guys twisted thinking that he/she decided to put on paper. None of what he/she put in that story made any type of sense. How can you be a boy but not a boy but a girl....and how can you be a man but not a man?! Then this whole business of the marriage thing....girl/boy/it shoots out of a tube and lands in your arms and all of a sudden you are in heaven and need to marry this being, and this being says"Wednesday" and you go about your day like nothing ever happened...WHAT! That is some craziness there, I know I have heard and I know all to well about love at first sight but thats taking it a little extreme, even with love at first sight you still wait a few days of getting to really know one another before you offer marriage. Craziness is what this story is.

1. Parthenogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction in which the offspring develops from unfertilized eggs. It is particularly common amongst arthropods and rotifers, can also be found in some species of fish, amphibians, birds, and reptiles, but not in mammals, which means in our species a male is needed in order to reproduce. Unless these women are not mammals, which the author really doesn't state, then yes they would need the men that show up to keep their kind alive. But according to them, they had found a way to reproduce without men, so in their society they may not need men to keep themselves going.
