The memes make themselves
This will solve femicide.
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).

“You’re not married, and you might decide later to…”
I’m familiar with that bullshit. A good friend of mine has a history of really severe medical issues in her family, and tried to get her tubes tied at 30, as she and her husband decided not to have kids, and adopt instead. Her doctor didn’t want to let her do it in case they changed their minds. It’s none of their fucking business. That’s not okay in any way, shape, or form. :/
Awesome. As a woman, I cannot wait for the day men will be so occupied with a robot waifu, that we can finally walk safely at night.
Well most men don’t assault women. It’s always a small percentile. And since assault is often about power, not sex, I doubt that would solve anything.
I have an even better proposition: have a gang of robot waifus/husbandos to kick the asses of any “men” who misbehave.
Don’t say “men” as if they aren’t human. They are men as much as the ones who aren’t assholes.
didn’t mean to dehumanize them, i meant that they aren’t men in the sense of masculinity. theres not much thats less masculine than bothering people who don’t want to be bothered.
i’m not a woman but something tells me that they wouldn’t want to be with a person who even remotely considers the idea of owning a robotic sex-slave.
Am a woman - can confirm. It’s such a self own it’s laughable. They didn’t want a partner in the true sense to begin with.
What a stupid question. Do you think people use sex toys as a replacement for emotional intimacy and shared life experiences or is this a self-tell that you think relationships are nothing more than sex?
Do you talk about your worries and fears to the fleshlight beside your bed? Do you try and plan a future with the magazine you’ve made sticky?
All to say I don’t care what gets your jollies off (legally of course) but there’s a huge difference between self pleasure and building a life with another human being.
Maybe you’ll experience it some day.
This makes me think of those whole torso dildos.
If anyone reads this and owns one, please explain.
No no it’s like a human body without any limbs.
I guess now that I think about it the limbs would be flaily and weird. I don’t think there is a head either, just the torso.
If you’re not familiar with this there are dildo conventions that showcase all the latest and greatest.
Robot wives are pretty much exactly what the whole torso dildo is. Only, someone who has the whole torso dildo isn’t taking it out to dinner and dancing and showing it off like it’s trophy.
That’s beyond comprehension. No sane person is taking their dildo out for dinner or to a friends house to watch a movie. They’d have to be android quality.
They have dolls for that. And people have been. There’s documentaries and videos all about it already.
Most of those men were never that desirable on a personality level anyway.
They think of women in transactional terms, where they only do what’s necessary to get laid.
I think, especially the incel types almost live in an RPG. Women are just NPCs, you do some quests for them, fetch her father’s sword from the orc cave, hit the right speech options and if you gathered enough reputation, you get the ethereal pussy of power that gives +5 on mana.
Switching directly to robots does make sense in that world.
the thing i just cannot wrap my head around with these people is what the hell they’re after, they claim they don’t like women and yet they’re clearly thirsting after them.
best i can guess is that they’re just profoundly mentally unhealthy and unable to realize that if they want a partner they should just… be desirable, which easy to get started with by learning how to cook and being nice to people.
They see women as accessories, like a tie or jacket, and fundamentally less valuable than themselves.
I think this is partly driven by a mixture of misogyny and low self-esteem. A woman on equal footing might threaten their very fragile self worth.
So being a normal person would mean partial submission to a woman (because that’s just part of being in a relationship, you’re not always on top), but at the same time they feel the societal need for a woman, because only having sex makes them true men.
And it’s also the typical self-victimization of fascist Ideologies. Nazis are victims of the Jews, current fascists are victims of immigrants or Muslims, incels are victims of Chad Thundercock.
… Can it do domestic labor or just sex? I am a woman and frankly I’d be interested in a robot wife… I’ve got my husband for sex but we’re tired of cooking dinner and cleaning the house. We’d both like a wife.
Nab a crate loading robot from an Amazon warehouse, it can lift more and will have much less pricey maintenance.
I would love even a dumbed down wonderbot from that movie robots. Even something just to load the dishwasher would be amazing.
But we have to prioritize here, if it can’t fuck there’s no point, throw it in the trash.
I feel like I need this /s although I wish it was obvious.
Let’s be honest, if this was true, the neo-feminists would be pissed. But then again, they are pissed about everything and it’s all white mens fault. Regardless of context.
Personally, I think robot companions would be a great idea. Just another reason to not engage with other people off the list.
