The sexy robot ladies are back! Not so much in real life, where they are still more scary than sexy, but in the fervid imagination of dudes who hate real ladies. Like Eric here, on The Spearhead:
When I first came to the MRM, there was a story in the news about a Japanese robotics engineer who had made a female android. It really wasn’t much more than a fairly realistic-looking doll; although there was quite a bit of discussion at the time for the potential to improve on the design. The main thing was that it’s invention caused a fury from the feminists. Even at that early stage in my MRA days, I could see the reason: for the first time women were looking the very real possibility that they could become expendable.
Well, “expendable” only if you view women as little more than support systems for their vaginas.
Personally, I’m more into foreign girls than virtual sex. But the same principle applies: as long as there are alternatives to feminists, the feminists are expendable. They don’t have the power to convert every woman on the planet; and even if they could they can’t stop men from building robots.
Please, build those robots, and lock yourselves away with them forever, and leave the rest of us alone.
Elsewhere in the same thread on The Spearhead we get some examples of why it’s a problem when Men Who Really Should Be Going Their Own way … don’t. A fellow calling himself Rmaxd apparently suggested that men who feel themselves to have been mistreated by the courts should: “Lynch a judge as you would any traitor or dictator.”
His comment was deleted, and heavily criticized — apparently for not being circumspect enough in his threatening language. After all, our dear friend JeremiahMRA got mostly upvotes on The Spearhead for a similarly threatening remark just the other day. And elsewhere in the very same thread as Rmaxd’s now-deleted comment we find a fellow called freebird suggesting that men who have allegedly suffered because of women should
share this pain with those inflicting it.
cue up “blood on the plow”
Meanwhile, again in the same thread, a commenter called walking in hell brings up the example of Thomas Ball, the MRA who self-immolated on the steps of a Keene, New Hampshire courthouse a year ago in hopes that his dramatic death would inspire other men to (quite literally) burn down police stations and courthouses using Molotov cocktails. (You can read Ball’s manifesto, complete with its call for MRA terrorism though without the specific instructions on how to make effective Molotov cocktails, on A Voice for Men, in its “activism” section; search the page for “burn” to go directly to his advocacy of terrorism.) Walking in hell also thinks family court judges should be “punished” for their alleged “crimes,” by which he means denying some fathers visitation.
[R]esponsibility for such heinous crimes against children can behold an individual to a special kind of punishment.
We see the nervous squirming by judges in the Australia case marked by the judge issuing an apology. We also see nervous squirming in the UK with the evildoers trying to issue fake political gestures to angry people.
The evildoers must smell something besides fire and brimstone. The sooner they get to the fire and brimstone, the better off children and fathers will be.
Apparently this vaguely threatening language was vague enough to pass muster on The Spearhead; this comment got more than a dozen upvotes.
The sooner you fuckers build those sexbots you like to talk about so much, the better for all of us.
Uhh I think you misunderstand what we are mocking…. I hate to see how you treat other fetishes…
Let me indulge in some NWO type “logic” here.
The invention of viable sex robots (ones that are easy to get and use and by the way Netflix has Cherry 2000, so the average dude could have one) has happened. But since women are evil or something they are not supposed to have the robots which means that all use of such robots by women will be prohibited by the men in charge of the government but since women are secretly in charge of the world, getting those robots will be actually banned first but then it will be modified to just women by the brave underground men who somehow manage to run everything despite the interference…ow, my mind now hurts. I am going to go finish a book.
Also, hee hee:

If I had a sexbot I would probably break it in two weeks. I’m not good with techy stuff.
Anything purpose built to spend it’s life with MRA’s just HAS to be the origin of skynet!
Given that I don’t think MRAs really want anything like what I would consider to be an AI (e.g. capable of evolving a knowledge of self, understanding that one has an existence over time), why don’t they just use blow-up dolls? I’m not seeing the advantage of these robots. Also, won’t blow-up dolls be a significantly cheaper option?
See, that’s just how I roll, trying to help MRAs save their money. 🙂
Come to the feminist side, we have cookies…
It depends what you mean by AI, because there’s really more than one meaning. The sci fi sense, as in intelligence comparable to humans etc (just artificially created, rather than naturally evolved) with self awareness and sapience. Or the general sense, as in any response given by a computer due to programming (but not beyond what is programmed).
We tend to call a lot of things AI when they aren’t. You get this a lot in video games, where NPCs are always referred to as having an “AI” even when it’s not strictly true.. especially when the AI is usually as smart as a bag of rocks.
Anyway, I think the advantage they’d (or anyone would) see to a robot over a sex doll is that it would give out all of the responses of a woman without all the self awareness or mind of its own (or any of the needs of a real person). It’s like a step up from an inanimate sex doll and as close to a real person without all the things they hate (VR would be another step further since then you could adapt it to whatever you want at the time).
“Thomas Ball, the MRA who self-immolated on the steps of a Keene, New Hampshire courthouse a year ago in hopes that his dramatic death would inspire other men to (quite literally) burn down police stations and courthouses using Molotov cocktails”
Wow, what a disgusting pig you are.
That was someone who felt his life was effectively over and decided to end it himself (instead of letting the state do it) to raise awareness of the anti male biases of family cours and how they were destroying lives.
Where you got this ridiculous notion about encuraging bomings… you are really full of shit, arent you? To slander a desperate mans last action, his suicide in such a way. I guess there is no low you and your kind wouldnt go.

You are super generous here. I think the point is that they are hoping for sex dolls that will also cook their dinner and wash their underwear.
Also, to the person who is Hatching A Scheme… I think you’re thinking what I’m thinking. It would be a fantastic and probably very successful internet scam, given the general level of gullibility and disconnection from reality among MRAs. Actually, I’m amazed someone hasn’t already done it. They are a perfect target group for con artists, especially given that the illusion that they’re very smart and “logical” is a big part of their disconnection from reality in most cases I’ve seen.
Curse my sense of ethics.
A blow doll can’t hug you, a blow doll can’t listen to you, a blow doll can’t pretend that you’re great at sex and that she’s enjoying it, and with a blow doll you have to do all the ‘work’. Not that there couldn’t be other reasons to want robots, but these are obvious one why MRAs would want them.
Is it just me or does that sex doll in the picture look a lot like Catherine Tate?
It does look alarmingly like Sally Phillips, a British comedy actor of far greater talent but far less undeserved credibility and fame…
“I think the point is that they are hoping for sex dolls that will also cook their dinner and wash their underwear.”
For some reason, that sentence gave me mental images of a washing machine with robotic arms sticking out of the side.. Somehow i’m not sure that’s what people would want as a sexbot. O.O
In the 80s in Australia, fathers/mens rights activists planted bombs. They bombed a family court AND blew up the house (or the car, I can’t recall) of a family court judge, killing the judge’s wife and child. This was their “measured” reaction to no-fault divorce and primary custody to women. I wrote to Price of Spearhead fame last week to tell him that some of his commentators comments were indicative of this kind of thinking and that he and his website would be implicated as responsible for inciting violence should any of his posters do something along these lines. My comment was moderated and never displayed. Price is culpable under Australian law if any links are found between his commentators posts, his website and their actions. It’s only a matter of time until his site is no more. The boyosphere has jumped the shark.
Everybody has kinks. Don’t judge. DON’T JUDGE MEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Muzolf: I “got this ridiculous notion” by READING WHAT BALL WROTE. Ball says quite explicitly in his manifesto that he killed himself in order to encourage other men to start firebombing courts and police stations. Follow the link to his manifesto. Do a search for the word “burn” on that page. It’s all there in gory detail.
rofl that picture of the creepy with plastic catherine tate! His pose appears to indicate he has formed an emotional attachment to a bit of plastic? Hmmm, if a woman was this insane, what would be the equivalent? A woman sitting on a couch with her arm lovingly around a dildo? Perhaps a picture of herself and her dildo having a lovely picnic together somewhere? These men are freaks. Bigger freaks than the dolls they are going to molest by far.
Actually Fah Lo Suee, no one here cares if he has an attachment to the doll or not. I am fine with people doing as they wish if they hurt no one else. Robots without sentient AI or simple moving sex dolls are perfectly fine, if they prevent these particular people from hurting real human beings.
There are also plenty of people who would have these kind of robots in addition to a human partner.
The only thing being mocked here is the idea that having a sex robot will eliminate the need for half the human race.
Being expected to click a link to another site is misandry!!
@Fah Lo Suee, yup, nothing worse than the “freaks” with different pastimes and sexual interests than your own. They really are “insane”, which is terrible.
Well actually Bostonian, it could be argued that for the unhinged, plastic fuck dolls could be a gateway sex aid to necrophilia, and I don’t know about you,but I prefer the thought of being unmolested, even if I’m in the morgue or six feet under. I wouldn’t underestimate the the level of perversion that perverts are capable of, and yes, perverts are what they are, whether their hurting no one but themselves.
What’s that viscaria? Fucking a plastic doll and pretending she’s your wife or gf is perfectly normal? Maybe in your world, thankfully not in mine.
Did someone leave a Religious Fundementalist’s Guide to Fallacious Argumentation laying around? Seriously, that’s the same format as the old “gay sex = gateway to paedophilia/bestiality” argument.
Fah Lo Suee:
I’m a pervert. I know a number of other perverts. We have joyous perverted fun together. And, like most perverts, we’re quite specific in our tastes. Your corpse is safe from me. But it’s nice to know that in your mind, there’s no limit to what I might do, simply because vanilla PIV isn’t my thing.
How kinky do I have to be before I’m a pervert who might be capable of anything? If I fuck while trans, is that perverted? If I have a vulva and I go on top, is that perverted? Am I a pervert if I have ropes and know how to use them, but merely titillating if I use (much more risky) silk scarves instead?
Sorry!
It was his sled! It was his sleeed!!
OH THANK GOD IT’S NOT JUST ME.
If someone has necrophilia, I do not think that the presence of robots or dolls are going to make them more or less likely to engage in sex with dead bodies.
Look, I have an active doll phobia, they freak me out beyond all reason. I still do not think someone fucking a doll or non sentient robot is a problem for me in my life, as long as they do not actually fuck it in my house, in front of me.
@STD
I’m not into organised religion, unlike yourself STD, so you might want to stop projecting. Fuck dolls are remarkably like corpses, it has to do with their unfocused gaze and is also why manufacturers have pumped (pun not intended) billions into getting heat sensors into the latex skins to try and mask the corpse effect, but of course, they haven’t fixed the eye issues yet. Only someone with a religious issue would be so biased/bigotted as to fail to consider the possibility that some mentally deranged fuck doll fuckers will eventually tire of the plastic hole, but not the corpse like effect and will go searching for the real dead deal.
