Buffy the Vampire Slayer. S5E15. I Was Made to Love You. Warren, what a gem of a human being that character was.
Seriously though. We’ll never be obsolete for the same reason we will never have bodily autonomy: reproduction. Until science devises a way for men to reproduce themselves in a lab. And, yes, please, do that, Science. Roe never would’ve fallen had this already been a thing.
2 things:
1, hello fellow Buffy fan! God I love that show
2, don't hate me for not citing, it's late, I'm tired, if I remember I'll find a source tomorrow. But I read semi recently that it may be possible with current tech to use skin cells to make either sperm or egg cells, enabling queer couples to have children that are biologically the offspring of both parents, regardless of the sex make up of the couple. As a gay man myself, that is a very exciting prospect. As a lonely person who's unlikely to ever be in the situation, it's less exciting. But I'm still excited for others!
But yeah, we may well be on our way to a world where it's possible for biological males and females to have children without a partner of the other sex. Which is interesting, but I don't think it'll solve sexism.
Sexism no. Lack of body autonomy? Probably.

Even pre fall of Roe, it’s never been as easy for a woman to get a tubal, not like it is for men to get vasectomies, and not due to the different procedural complexity.
.
Mileage varies, always, but even with kids, a woman is often refused a tubal, pre 35 yrs of age. Especially when single. Future potential husbands get cited. Yes, really. The last person I personally knew who was refused a much wanted tubal was a 26yo mother of 3, and it was 2018. The health insurance wasn’t through a religious institution either. (That can also matter, yes).
