Oh dear. Our friends the Men’s Rights Redditors have discovered Mr.Ian Ironwood’s little treatise on sexbots. While some are a bit skeptical about the reality of the (non-existent) Human-Robot Personal Relationship Act — more skeptical, anyway, than Ironwood or Vox Day before him — this doesn’t stop the regulars from offering all sorts of distressing and/or hilarious opinions on the subject.
For example, OuiCrudites suggests that women have made sexbots inevitable by generally being such a pain in the ass, and MaunaLoona compares female sexuality to the railroad monopolies of the 19th century:
In a later comment, OuiC elaborates on his “most women are shitty” thesis:
MaunaLoona, meanwhile, agrees with Ironwood that developing the AI for sexbots won’t be a big challenge, because the average American woman is dumb and has a terrible personality.
A Canadian Redditor steps in to point out that the alleged “legislation” isn’t real. Oh, and to suggest that many “females” can’t think rationally.
Geigerwasright concludes that men will find sexbots preferable to women because the women of today aren’t providing them with “love, loyalty [or] kindness.”
So watch out, ladies! Unless you clean up your act, and quick, the good men of the Men’s Rights subreddit will abandon you en masse in favor of sex with inanimate objects that pretend to like them.
And this is apparently supposed to be a bad thing for women.
Clauderoughly postulates that sexbots for women will never be that popular, because what women really want is to get pregnant, so they can live the good life off of child support:
That’s a bit weird, as all the women I’ve had sex with have seemed quite interested not getting pregnant from sex. Indeed, some have had devices inserted into their bodies by doctors to prevent such an occurence.
The world that MRAs live in is a strange and scary place. I prefer the real world. It’s much cheerier.
NOTE: The horrible picture at the top of this post was borrowed from Craftastrophe.
@CWS – forgot to say Mr K looked at your CATBOT script yest when I was laughing my head off about it. He said “It was amusing” which translates to he got a huge laugh out of it. 🙂
Also, this.
I don’t even.
@M Dubz: Evidently robot women, much like all alien women, have big, useless boobs!
They’re not half so sexy as the Techno Trousers (ex NASA).

“…it’s the fact that men will have control over their fertility again.”
Eh? Is there lots of legislation in the works that fucks with mens’ reproductive freedom? These guys ache for victimhood status, so I guess they need to co-opt womens’ fears and anxieties. I mean, it’s habitual with these guys.
The again, I dunno, they don’t sound like guys who know — much less date many women. They always give themselves away when they talk about sex (example, vaginas can wear down if they are used too much. Not realizing that a woman who is physically aroused can not have a “tight” vagina. Oh, and pubes aren’t hygenic) I mean, they’re obviously scared of women and resent them — but want one, one that won’t laugh at them — like say, a Stepford Wife. I think they should be with robots…it would be much less painful for them. They’re so fragile and delicate. If they were suddenly transported to the glorious ’50s, they wouldn’t be able to adjust; men weren’t encouraged to whine so much back then.
Of course, men having control over their fertility really means forcing women to give birth or abort at men’s whim for this lot.
Thanks, The Kittehs’ Unpaid Help!
What is everybody doing for their birthdays?
i’m talking on the phone and chatting on FB with friends 🙂
Aw, that sounds like a nice birthday 🙂 lots of friends!
it’s a very nice birthday, thanks! 🙂
Sex Lives of Robots! I saw that at the Museum of Sex and was amazed at how detailed it was. It was like its own little microworld of horny robots.
I want to be a Jedi too Clauderoughly. Meaningful point to slip in there. God I can’t even manage a comment that isn’t derisive. Can someone hurry up with these bots? They’ve basically promised to leave me alone and I can’t wait.
hmm – trying to embed a vid – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6BOZP4yh7A
oh well – it’s a puppy trying to figure out how to go downstairs with help from another dog
Rahu, it’s the s at the end of https that is causing problems. Take off the s, and viola! 😉
thanks, cloudiah!!!!
ILOVETHATVIDEO… by the way.
😀 😀 😀
Okay. If I wake up from a dream involving that damn sexbot video tonight someone here is gonna wake up to a lego in their slippers!
God damn earworms!! And I’m NOT a visual thinker but I can close my eyes without seeing that cheesy robot behind my eyes!
I was almost clapping at the end of that video, Rahu. Go, puppeh!
Dangit @cthulu’sintern! I’m going to have the sexrobot song stuck in my head all night now!
@yoyo – It wasn’t Rick “Man On Dog” Santorum who had the ranch with the offensive name, it was Rick Perry, Governor of Texas. Let us blame racist, sexist, homophobic politicians for their massive flaws correctly.
I wonder if that’s what the dude from the earlier post who was demanding a reasonable rebuttal actually wanted. It’s not like he’d made a reasonable argument.
Speaking of earworms, every time someone so much as mentions Les Miz at this point I’m getting that horrible song stuck in my head. I’ve decided every time this happens I’m going to start singing “Karma Chameleon” because I’d prefer having that stuck in here. So earlier this evening, as I’m singing
If I listen to your lies would you say
I’m a man without conviction
I’m a man who doesn’t know
How to sell a contradiction
I started laughing, thinking about the MRM.
I need to get off the internet for a few days, clearly.
