There's a good amount of feminists who are absolutely against fembots and sex dolls, so I doubt SV/SF will ever lead the way here.

- asdkhadsj 8y agoWhy I wonder?
- coldtea 8y agoBecause if a man is fine with "fembots and sex dolls" and foregoes women, then that means that they think women's only use would be as fembots and sex dolls.
- drblast 8y agoFeminists must really hate gay men.
- coldtea 8y agoHistorically some did (e.g. you could be an early feminist and still consider gays or even lesbians immoral), but in general gay men were acknowledged as themselves oppressed and besides they do their own thing (e.g. gay men wouldn't be in a relationship with a female in the first place). Whereas in the situation with heterosexuals and fembots, the feminine side is still present -- just replicated and reduced to sexual functions. .
- avatar33 8y agoIf you can figure out which way will be seen to be against men, then SV can be reliably relied upon to do anything. 90% of SV will sell their own mother for a progressive enough cause. The levels of self hatred was out of this world.
- putoutorgetout 8y agoBut what an empty threat! What are feminists even going to do? Give sex doll afficionados the cold shoulder? It’s not like any feminist is ever going step in and occupy the void a sex bot fills. They’re the ones digging the hole. This is obviously a case where not being part of the solution is indeed being part of the problem, and laughably so.
- cheez 8y agoThey'd find a way to make it illegal
- penultimates 8y agoThey’s sign death warrants, in so doing. But whose?
- TulliusCicero 8y ago> What are feminists even going to do? Give sex doll afficionados the cold shoulder? IIRC there have been instances of governments banning sex doll parlors.
- foldr 8y agoAnd of course, radical feminist activists have total control of SV. Incidentally, I don't think you'll find many feminists who are opposed to sex robots per se. It's more that they are worried about the societal implications. Similarly, some people worry about the implications of children spending lots of time on iPads, but these people are not "against" iPads.
- ummonk 8y agoThat seems counterproductive. I would assume that fembots and sex dolls would reduce sexual harassment, particularly by the most objectifying men (since they will hold the most appeal to men who want objectified women, not human women).
- craftinator 8y agoYes, but that also themoves the power through self-victimization that they've always held. It's a real thing, Google it.
