What would happen if the bar on a womens bike was cut off?

I find the the bar in a women's bike is still a hindrance and Im not sure it is needed at all. Im thinking of having it sawed away so just the lower bar stays. I guess i didn't mind it or thought about it when i was a kid but 68 now. If i did decide to take that top bar off how would the bike still run as usually?
 
The integrity of the bike would be compromised and it could simply fold under your weight. They do make bikes like you are describing, but they were designed to support the weight of the rider with only the one bar.
Also, those tubes are hollow. If you were to cut it off you'd be left with 2 stubs (dangerous) and gaping holes where water can get in and corrode the steel (I am assuming it's steel).
If you're looking to continue riding on it, don't cut.
