The movie is about alien's who live on mars that need mom's from earth to train the robots on their planet how to raise the alien babies. But what happens is the head alien's are all women. They get rid of all the men and boys. Creating a world with only women. The head alien women's idea is that if they make robots to raise them then the women don't have to and can do other things. Who needs men because they aren't helpful anyway. She's lied to the aliens that it is the way it has always been, but it come to light that it is not how it has always been and if fact they use to have families.
This whole idea got me thinking. Do we need men? I mean lets face it Women now of days can do it all right? Women work and raise kids can't they? Isn't that what the whole Women's rights movement was about women can do anything a man can. But think about it. What would our world be like without men? Is there a purpose for them? Do we need them? Although tempting as it sounds I would have to say that there is a purpose.
All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose. (proclamation to the world)
I think this is the fundamental problem with our society. The family is being attacked left and right. But the family is one of the most important institution we have. We are meant to have both a mom and dad. Women are designed with certain strengths and abilities and so are men. It is for that reason that a family has both. Because where a man is weak a women is strong and vise verse.
The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed. (Proclamation to the world)
We have women who don't want to raise children. And Men you don't want to take responsibility for families. Left and right I hear of Dad's walking out because they want a different life, or Mom's who buy into this idea that the work place is a much better place to be. It makes me sad because I chose the life I lead. I decided when I was young that I wanted to be a mom. I wanted to raise children and teach them. It is the hardest thing I've even done. Sometimes I feel like I want to scream. Sometimes I feel like I don't want to be a mom. Sometimes I feel like my husband just doesn't understand what I'm going through. But at the end of the day I would not change anything about my life. When I have those feeling than I recharge. I send my kids to the gym with my husband and take a couple of hours to do whatever I want. (Last night! :) Then when they come home I realize just home much I love everyone of them. I love my husband for understanding my need to be alone. For his willingness to step up to plate and help out. Each of my children have taught me something different. They each have such sweet spirits. I am thankful everyday that they chose me to be their mom. I am a better person because of my family. I've learned to love more than I ever thought possible. I've learn to be patient and understanding. I've learn to compromise and give in when I can. As a parent I understand what it must of been like for our Heavenly Father to send his son to earth to take our sins upon him. How important it must have been. Because he let it happen. He didn't stop it. I'm sure he wanted to. I also know that we have to go through things to become better people. I watch my kids make mistakes and it breaks my heart when I punish them but how else will they learn? Isn't it the same with our Heavenly Father? Sometimes we wonder why we are going through what we are. Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this? Anyway, I've rambled on and probably lost half of you. But these are some thoughts I've had....
In the words of Forest Gump, "That's all I have to say about that."

You brought tears to my eyes. Oh thank you so much for this post :) I agree with you and I love it when Hollywood makes something that causes us to think!
Here, here. Your thoughts are really beautiful and right on the mark.
Well said, my dear. Families are everything and I wouldn't change my crazy situation for all the success in the world.
