Welcome back to what has become a veritable MGTOW weekend here at We Hunted the Mammoth!
So I’m browsing through yet another interminable discussion of sexbots in the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit, and once again the consensus seems to be that sexbots will soon be here in a big way, rendering flesh-and-blood women obsolete, because of course the only thing they’re good for is sex and they aren’t even any good at that, ha ha sucks to be you, women!
Heck, already there are some sex bots that aren’t creepy like haunted dolls.
“The Harmony robot prototype blinks and moves her head,” noted one commenter. “As soon as she did that, she seemed real to me and no longer creeped me out.”
“It’s impressive,” replied another. “I’m fairly certain we’ll have the formula cracked [within a decade]. Now all we have to do is finishing work with artificial wombs and we’re all set to finally say: ‘Begone thot!'”
You know, the standard MGTOW technology-will-make-women-obsolete-because-they-basically-suck bullshit.
Then I saw this comment from the OP and it sort of threw me for a loop. Responding to someone noting that it still wasn’t socially acceptable to take one’s sex doll out in public, he declared:
![throw_dat_awayyy[S] 14 points 1 month ago you can do whatever you want within the confines of your home though...whether it be smoking weed, shitting in your sink or masturbating with egg yolks. the same way you don't care whether someone is trans or not, same standard should hold whether someone chooses to purchase a sex doll or not.](https://i0.wp.com/www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/ijgiuoih.png?resize=528%2C469&ssl=1)
Witness the birth of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans Queer And Dudes Who Shit In The Sink Or Who Masturbate With Egg Yolks And Also Men Going Their Own Way Who Buy Sex Bots (LGBTQAPWSITSOWMWEYAAMGTOWWBSB) movement!
Oh, wait, I’m pretty sure these guys don’t want lesbians tagging along, so take off that first L.
So far this new movement hasn’t made much of a splash. The only person who responded to the comment got hung up on the bit about the eggs.
Well that took a turn, huh?
But you know what? You be you, guys. If you MGTOWs, in the privacy of your own homes, want to have sex with sex dolls or sex bots or egg yolks, if you want to fry up your own semen or mix it into a smoothie that you yourself will be drinking, go right ahead, it’s your right. (I’m a little less enthusiastic about the sink shitting, if only because I suspect that at some point a plumber will have to clear that out for you and that’s not a nice thing to do to a plumber.)
Yes, I make fun of the MGTOW obsession with sex bots all the time. But that’s not because it’s inherently pathetic to sex up inanimate objects; lots of people do that, many of them on a daily basis. It’s because you guys insist that these particular inanimate objects will somehow replace women because women suck and ha ha sucks to be you, women!
And it’s not even the misogyny itself that’s pathetic. It’s that your endless sexbot discussions absolutely reek of sour grapes. If you really thought that women were so easily replaceable, that they were truly as worthless as you so often declare them to be, you wouldn’t spend every spare second of the day talking about them on the internet, would you?
Speaking of which, this post will mark the end of this impromptu MGTOW weekend. Because spending even a weekend with you guys in my head is really kind of depressing.
Gijoel and calmdown, you two had me laughing on public transport.
Jizz does taste a bit like egg yolk. But I am mystified at how supposedly straight men would know this? They need to wash their hands more.
I think, too, that artificial wombs would be a good thing. Now, I was in a discussion about this topic over at the Mary Sue, and some people immediately jumped at “it would be horrible if we could design our babies precisely the way we wanted” – but that’s a completely different issue! It’s possible that we develop advanced designer baby technologies while we still need for babies to develop inside a woman, or we might develop artificial wombs without having the capacity to precisely design a baby.
I can see the obvious problems in a society where babies are custom made, like “I want a blond one, with blue eyes, who’s good at math, extroverted” etc – but artificial wombs seem like progress to me. The tech would probably be really expensive and only available to a few, but if it also became cheap, then women would have some real freedom of choice; take the risks or not, instead of being forced to take the risk if they want the baby.
Unfortunately, these are MRAweenies. The only artificial wombs they’re interested in are the sort the Tleilaxu use.
Another bomb’s gone off in Austin.
@Dvärghundspossen
It is dangerous for any group built around ignorance, suspicion, superstition and ancient propaganda to design super-intelligent offspring. There’s a risk they’d see straight through their parents’ shallow bigotries and destroy their entire movement in a single generation. Make America Great, But Not Too Great, Just In Case.
Well, there is a book titled, I believe, “Natural Harvest” that is all about cooking with semen. It is one of the more inexplicable things I know of.
@Ledasmom, that reminds me of a vid I saw about people who make rugs out of their collie dogs moulted hair. Apparently they are lovely unless you get them wet, then they smell of wet dog.
So, for them, no more Gin Fizz, but more Fine Jizz ?
And omelet with fried jizz ? I now better understand what they mean with the expression “vivre d’amour et d’eau fraîche” (living on love and fresh water)…
Hmm, i am almost sure that shitting in the sink is shitty thinking that sinks in their thinking…
@misophistry:
As opposed to a carpet made of wool, that smells of wet sheep when you get it wet?
Masturbating with egg yolks?! How is the hell is that even supposed to work and why would anyone want to do that?
They think if they have sex bots and artificial wombs women will be no longer needed?
Sure… apart from all the other reasons that this is crap, can anyone actually imagine a MGTOW caring for a newborn or toddler? Doing unpleasant or exhausting work does not seem to be a skill of these guys. The most likely outcome of that scenario would be human extinction.
If it wouldn’t involve an actual innocent human, it would be hilarious to watch them deal with that.
@ misophistry:
I wouldn’t know, I’ve never tasted raw egg yolks…
… I think Smeggy Eggy was continuing on from the artificial womb stuff. Which’d mean that he thinks chicken eggs and human eggs are the same thing – and that splooging in his scramble will fertilise it.

Copied from above. David created a monster word here.
I have respect for everyone who writtes this without an error.
About the rest that is pathetic but for MGTOW there have been worse.
But interesting priorities.
I’ve noticed that a lot of MGTOW/MRA/PUA talking points seem to fit in with a larger plan to make it socially acceptable to be covered in your own feces.
It’s an update to the horizontal bop – the horizontal meringue. 😛
I wonder if “LGBTQAPWSITSOWMWEYAAMGTOWWBSB” is the sound this guy makes when he omelettegasms.
@Moggie
One of my favourite exchanges was this one between Wendy and Otto, aka Mr. Manfredjensenjen:
Her delivery is perfect.
@Dvärghundspossen
I figured philosopher mammotheers would appreciate those tweets 🙂
Re artificial wombs: this idea was floated by feminists decades ago, so it’s especially funny that MGTOWs are keen on it. Second-wavers like Shulamith Firestone thought it would spell the end of gender oppression.

SFHC:
Sounds like something alchemists would have believed a thousand years ago. But bad ideas never fully go away. In one of Captain Disillusion’s videos, he debunks a Russian youtuber who faked video of creepy experiments with chicken eggs and human sperm, which he claimed produced weird chimeras.
(I recommend Captain Disillusion to anyone who will listen. His videos are highly entertaining)
These Men Going Their Own Way really do lead fulfilling lives, don’t they? Like modern-day Nikola Teslas……
*sigh* I just gotta keep in the back of my mind that these creeps always existed, it’s just the democratizing power of the internet has given them a platform.
I’ve seen a few news stories about Cambridge Analytica on TV this weekend. Every time, someone says it’s not such a big deal because Facebook already mines personal data for advertising purposes. The only difference is the lack of permission.
Facepalm.
I see disrespect of consent is a thing outside of just sex.
Everyone I saw arguing this wasn’t that big of deal was a white man BTW. I know that’s shocking.
I remember hearing about a man who owned several of those very expensive life-sized silicone dolls. He said he pulled out of them when he ejaculated, because it made cleanup easier. He also said that the silicone could absorb body oils, among other body fluids, so it was important to keep the dolls clean.
If sexbots are ever available, their skin-like surface will probably be made of silicone, at least in the beginning. I hope the sexbots will be programmed to be self cleaning, because like other commenters, I imagine many of their owners won’t be too keen on cleaning them.
How many of them came out with the crap “If you’ve got nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to worry about.”
If you’ve got nothing to hide you’ve plenty to worry about – you’re dead. Everyone’s got secrets.
When I hear “artificial womb,” i think about the Vorkosigan Saga and how it plays a role in the transformation of Barrayar’s society. But the author is a woman so MRA haven’t probably read this books.
OT: Okay, the Toronto Start is just trolling me at this point. They had a 3-page “Insight” spread on Jordan Effing Peterson in their Sunday issue this weekend and Vinay Menon, you have too much time on your hands if you’re dedicating ink to this wankstain!
Then today’s paper has a column from reforming Catholic extremist Michael Coren throwing up his hands and saying “both sides are just as bad!”
This effin’ guy is just a more verbose L. Ron Hubbard who literally thinks that any activism that takes place on behalf of trans individuals leads to Maoist famine and purges! He represents a flagrant failure of not only communication, but the perception of intellectualism, and must be pushed back on if we’re going to progress as a society.
