Over on the MGTOW subreddit, the regulars are daydreaming about sexbots. And they can’t seem to decide what excites them more: the prospect of endless on-demand sex with robot super-hotties — or ruining the lives of non-robotic women who won’t be able to compete with the aforementioned robot super-hotties.
It’s really kind of adorable.
Let’s let the MGTOW Nostradamus who calls himself EnterPseudonym explain how it’s all going to go down when the sexbot revolution arrives at last.
Men will be ecstatic to finally have something they can put their penis into that doesn’t talk:
[I]magine that sexbots are a reality. They’re not too expensive maybe $5000. With a decent job and no girl friend you could save up that money within a year. Now you only have to pay electricity to keep her running and maintenance every so often.
Just don’t get her wet! Those things are known to short out.
You don’t have to pay to take her out. You don’t have listen to her nag or bore you with dull conversations. You don’t have to deal with her emotional swings. There are no pregnancy scares.
You should probably clean her once in a while, though.
How can an average woman, who requires tens of thousands of dollars and thousands of hours in time spent to maintain the relationship, compete against a downloadable Kate Upton who requires a quarter of the maintenance time and money?
But, wait, won’t women be able to buy themselves sexbots as well?
Well, yeah, but women aren’t going to want them, because sexbots can’t provide what women really want: money.
Sexbots aren’t appealing to women because a sexbot is only good for sex and won’t actually be able to provide for a woman.
After the sexbot revolution, the world will be filled with desperate women.
Sexbots will essentially collapse the already ruined market for sex. Women will lose much of their social power, and a social switch might happen where males who haven’t chosen to use sexbots are extremely rare.
And so women will start throwing themselves at any man who will have them.
When 90% of males have dropped out of the market, the 80% of women will be competing for whatever man they can find.
Men who’d been cruelly rejected by real-life women in pre-sexbot days will suddenly find themselves in very high demand.
A former sexbot user, could get tired of his sexbot and want to settle down. He enters a market which is deprived of sperm, and now a man that was ugly, overweight, and typically undesirable before the social collapse, is now part of the top 10% of males. He has his choice with almost any woman. Any woman would choose this “undesirable” man because in fact he is desirable.
They never get tired of this fantasy, do they?
Somehow, though, I suspect that even if 90% of straight men were to take themselves off the market EnterPseudonym would still have trouble convincing women that he was much of a catch.
Kupo,
That’s a pretty good bet.
Honestly, @kupo? I have no clue. I’m happy to believe that she’s a woman who’s had a life close to what she’s saying. If she’s had brain cancer (My heart goes out to you if so, Ms Chad, that’s a horrible disease) then it could be that she’s telling the truth. Personality shifts can happen depending on specifics, along with other effects. It’s really impossible to tell without her providing some evidence, and given that this is a public place I don’t at all blame her for not wanting to do so. My general rule is to just go with what they claim unless there’s strong evidence otherwise.
That doesn’t mean we should hold her hand or tell her what she wants to hear, of course. She’s just lashing out angrily at anything she can reach, so I don’t put much stock in what she’s saying right now.
Yep.
Just driving by to geek out over so many people being all “you think Finnish is a Germanic language?!?!?”
Carry on. 😀
I have now learned everything there is to learn about Boaty McBoatface, including that someone named their horse Horsey McHorseface in Boaty’s honour. Fantastic.
FTR I usually prefer to take trolls at their words as far as gender, education, etc., even if I have some private doubts; but in this case, she’s got like 4 different, conflicting personas going on. So… yup.

@ MRA Chode:
A patriarchy IS an oligarchy, just one run by a handful of old men. Classic example: the FLDS.
And you, whoever you are, are no linguist (and probably none of the other things you claimed to be, either). You, my little troll, are a MORON. (That’s Greek for “a fool; a gormless or stupid person”. Look it up, and don’t wear your dictionary out all in one pass.)
Wow, that escalated quickly!
Mrs. Skyboomrooster, I am a former “raging slut” (to put it in your parlance) 56 years old, and childless by choice. No one here has any problem with those things, so why the meltdown? It makes you seem overly invested in believing in your persecution.
Try sticking to what’s actually been said here on this thread, it would be a refreshing change. Even if you are just trollin’ I’m sure you’d still get the anti-ess-jay-double-yew merit badge.
Scildfreya – I’ll also go along with Mrs. Skyboomrooster’s having linguistic degree for the time being. I worked with a population of degree-havers (aka officers) in the USAF for four years and if I learned one thing, it’s that it’s not that hard to put in the time and money to get a degree and not get much out of said degree.
What makes me suspect a deceptive PUA/MRA is the fact that we were pretty ethically supportive of the aggression towards manipulative predatory PUAs. In In my case that was responded to with paranoia about murderous, violent SJWs.
Such a switch from support for their aggressive behavior to fear of violence from people that PUAs/MRAs fear is a noteworthy pattern. While I welcome other views, to me it suggests someone who wanted to pretend to be an aggressive woman as a shield for deception, and suddenly finding out that the shield was itself threatening.
I’m thinking carefully about this because while such things are important for rooting out decievers, I must include a path to allow other possibilities that would not be a problem for a real aggressive woman.
Ugh, of all the threads that had to be necro’d, they had to pick the one when I had the stupidest handle.
I don’t like them on the basis that they had me see that shit again.
That was my thought all along…which is why I initially said she is playing a game here of her own.
@(((Hambeast))) , aaaaaaaah i know, right? Degree-havers can be the absolute worst. I worked with one woman from China who had been attached to our lab as part of an exchange; she picked up one of our projects and get to work. Or, got to “work”. What that meant was me doing everything. And I was like a second year undergrad at the time! I had to learn all sorts of advanced topics that weren’t even in my field and then explain them to her. And they were central concepts of her field!
(Aside, I’m glad I did, because that knowledge has turned out to be very useful. Turns out that self-regulation is a very central concept!)
End of it all, I did all of the work, I wrote the paper along with a friend, and she got her name on it despite not contributing anything beyond being a hurtle to overcome. And then we discover that she was trying to steal papers-in-progress so that she could publish them for herself back home, the whole time! Absolutely maddening.
I’ll agree with you 100%, having a degree is no guarantee of someone knowing the topic. I can see that being doubly-true in the military, where the educational institution has an interest in making sure lots of the applicants pass. As with anything, it’s as much who you know as what you know, if not more!
@Jackie
Now I want banana cake. ^o^
…
Me too.
You can pay the fees to WHTM.
Oh, and something I find problematic: Mixing transgender, vegan, race and every other social issue into “feminism.”
I don’t take kindly to that. I’m not an “intersectional” feminist.I’m a 2nd wave who cut her teeth on Camille Paglia.
You can be. But calling me a troll for not being = problematic.
Trigger warning: Me
That’s not why we’re calling you a troll.
Oh Christ, I’d prefer a socking PUA to an exclusionist.
Ah yes, Camille Paglia. The favorite “feminist” of misogynists everywhere.

You can keep your cis-white-women-only feminism, thanks much. I would rather liberate all of us. That includes the trans women, women of colour, and other marginalized women who were feminists and womanists when the 2nd wave was first a thing. We owe those women a debt. 2nd wave doesn’t have to mean White Feminism(tm).
Edit: oh shit I totally missed the Camille Paglia reference lol only anti-feminists ever refer to her as a feminist.
Mrs. Chad,
Are you drinking as you post? Because you seem less and less lucid with each post.
It’s always interesting to see what kinds of weird assumptions MRA trolls make about this blog and the commenters. It betrays what sort of website they’ve been spoon-fed conspiracy theories by.
@ Mrs Chad
I’m genuinely curious as to how you think veganism and feminism are related. Obviously there are people who are both feminist and vegan; but I think of all the various progressive movements these are the two that are often the most in conflict. That’s just from my own experience though so I’d be interested in your take on this.
Ahh, I somehow missed Camille Paglia. Socking PUA it is, then! =P
(Not that it matters either way, but exclusionists piss me off.)
