The growing threat of sex robots
Posted on 10/12/16 at 9:22 am

We believe the development of sex robots further sexually objectifies women and children.
The vision for sex robots is underscored by reference to prostitute-john exchange which relies on recognizing only the needs and wants of the buyers of sex, the sellers of sex are not attributed subjectivity and reduced to a thing (just like the robot).
The development of sex robots and the ideas to support their production show the immense horrors still present in the world of prostitution which is built on the “perceived” inferiority of women and children and therefore justifies their use as sex objects.
We propose that the development of sex robots will further reduce human empathy that can only be developed by an experience of mutual relationship.
We challenge the view that the development of adult and child sex robots will have a positive benefit to society, but instead further reinforce power relations of inequality and violence.
Campaign Against Sex Robots

so when a chick has a sex toy it's perfectly normal and now they finally make the perfect robot sex slave to meet my standards and its considered weird....goddamn double standard

So it's still threatening to real women, even if the physical need is removed?

These crusty hags don't realize that sex robots are on the rise because the same women that run this campaign won't frick these dudes that are buying these things. Also, these same salty bitches are the ones going around campuses and telling women that if you think you might've thought "no" in your head during consensual sex 6 months ago, the guy raped you.
To hell with these activists. They caused this.

Amazing that these same people think abortion is about a woman's right tho choose, but adult women choosing to be prostitutes not.

It has been their dominant power over men since the beginning of time but they've abused that power. Now that there's an alternate solution, they're doubling down on the power grab instead of being smart and relenting a bit.

Yeah, the only reason for the "horrors" of prostitution is it's illegality. When legal, that shite pretty much goes away.

would be nice if they could make realistic ones and one could have all they like about women minus the pettiness,nagging, and aging

It's the same circular logic with drugs, drugs cause violence and criminal activity because they're only handled by criminals so we need to make sure that they stay illegal to protect society from criminals.
I wouldn't be surprised to see some prohibition movement against sex robots. Some people tend to think that if something is enjoyable then it should be illegal.

The most interesting part is that typically those movements have come from the right wing. Now we're seeing the left wing create these types of new wave temperance movements.

It's not about political leanings, assholes exist on both sides of the aisle. It's about exercising control over others.

This the most confusing argument i have ever read
quote:
What is the difference between a sex robot and a vibrator?
Vibrators were developed as tools for physicians in the 18th century who believed a cure for women’s depression was stimulation of their clitoris (basically sexual assault of women delivered by doctors). The physicians hands would become tired when delivering this ‘cure’ – so that’s why the vibrator was invented. Surveys indicate that woman’s primary use of vibrators is clitoral stimulation. The vibrator is called a vibrator because it VIBRATES. Vibrators are stimulatory objects, they may resemble a shape, as do other masturbatory sex toys.
Humans have found alternatives to the phallus and vagina in the use of objects that resemble these shapes. As far as I’m aware no culture has encouraged people to form relationships with these objects.
Sex robots by contrast have a humanoid form and have to be situated as paraphernalia of the sex trade. Sex robots would not exist if women and children’s bodies were not already traded for sex. The makers of sex robots (mechanical dolls) make wild claims about sex robots (on the back of exaggerated claims about the potential of robotics and AI) and promote the belief that a perfect (subservient) women is on the brink of creation, to cater for all needs, desires and wants. For anyone familiar with the current state of robotics and AI this is clearly nonsense.
We would like to remind you that female and male robots in fiction (such as Ex Machina) are human actors pretending to be robots.
Unfortunately as a new edition to the sex trade, sex robots (mechanical dolls) are further encouraging a dehumanized view of women that begins in the lived sex trade and spills over into the world of technology.
Moreover, there is work to be done on highlighting how technology is gendered, and stereotypical, rigid and sexist ideas of women are projected into the making of contemporary robotics and AI.
In the question just before
quote:
We are against the making and use of sex robots. We appreciate that a sex robot is a doll with some motors or AI. The real concern about sex robots is the impact they will have on the human users who will be manipulated into thinking a robot is able to reciprocate or care about their feelings. As unequal and exploitative sexual practices (prostitution and pornography) provide the inspiration for sex robots, these sex robots continue to perpetuate and reinforce gender inequalities.
Basically, they are scared that this will take the power out of women controlling sex.
In the same vain, aren't concerned that at any given sex shop there is a basket of toys that will please women more efficiently than the average male.

It is the horseshoe theory at work.
I had SJW professor at LSU that was a strong prohibitionist, her argument was that alcohol culture=rape culture (she didn't use "rape culture" but that is the Tl;DR).
