Any idea why a bipedal fleshlight makes them insecure? My head jumps to "could it because they fear that without sex, they have no value?" but that sounds so ridiculous to me. All human life matters, has value, and should be treated with kindness, respect, and dignity. I've met plenty of women who add value to the world in a bajillion other ways.

Can someone help me understand this one?

This is reasoning.

However people don't always act based on reasoning.

And even if you act based on reasoning, you can't trust others to act based on the same kind of reasoning.

If a more serious response, (some) feminists see sex robots as objectification of women and that's why they're against them.


Always...? Lol.

I didn't mention being a man, and the key words in that sentence are the ones you omitted.

So brave. So courageous. (Slow clap). Not at all similar to something Michael Scott would say.
