Why Fembots Hate Sexbots

Why Do Feminists Hate Sex Robots?
In the zero-sum-game worldview of feminism, anything that makes men happy is bad. Kathleen Richardson, a professor at De Montfort University in England, is afraid that having sex with robots will make men happy:
“Sex robots seem to be a growing focus in the robotics industry and the models that they draw on — how they will look, what roles they would play — are very disturbing indeed,” she told the BBC.
She believes that they reinforce traditional stereotypes of women and the view that a relationship need be nothing more than physical.
“We think that the creation of such robots will contribute to detrimental relationships between men and women, adults and children, men and men and women and women,” she said.
Notice that Dr. Richardson is only worried about how these robots would affect “traditional” stereotypes of women, whereas stereotypes of menare evidently not at all “disturbing” to her. While I am also against robot sex — it’s just plain creepy — I might change my mind if scientists could program these robots to make sandwiches.
Here's why. Compare and contrast:
Kathleen Robert - Fembot

Soraya Sexbot
Bear in mind also, the Fembot hate men, and likes to spite them, while the Sexbot does what's asked to please them, including making sandwiches.

  1. While I think it is a bit odd, was she upset about women's sex toys?
