Scientists Just Found Something Dark About Men Who Want to Have Sex With Robots
Men who hold virulent misogynistic opinions against women are more likely to express interest in having sex with robots.
Canadian researchers have found that men who hold virulent misogynistic opinions against women are more likely to express interest in having sex with robots
Wait, so the people more likely to want to control a woman are interested in a woman you can control...
Man how do you become a researcher, seems like an easy gig.
The 'this is plausible' is actually the first 0.01% of research, finding out whether the plausible explanation actually holds water statistically (or whatever) and making sure no sort of bias goes into your results is the part that's hard
Yeah, it's one thing to guess, it's another to have it in hard numbers.
I think it’s more like:
Men who think of women as objects are more interested in objects as women.
Getting tenure is the hard part, after that you're golden
Surely this is a good thing right? Le them take out their urges on someone/thing who cant actually be hurt.
We may even see therapeutic sex robots some day.
I'm a little annoyed by calling it 'sex with robots'. It's really just masturbation with an elaborate sex toy. Unsurprising result anyway.
Well, if I was gonna have sex with a robot I'd want it to be at least as smart as a human adult. A purely preprogrammed experience sounds like no fun at all, and if it has intelligence comparable with any member of the animal kingdom that member better be human or I'm gonna feel really weird.
Brought to us by the journal of shit we already know.
What definitions are they using for 'having sex' as opposed to 'masturbating'? Does their definition consider fleshlights as sex or masturbation? Is it really any surprise that incels would prefer to masturbate instead of have a sexual relationship with women? The methodology seems questionable at best.
For the study, researchers analyzed data from 212 undergraduate Canadian students from an unnamed university.
Sample size sounds way too small to be throwing around "virulent misogyny" to me. For me, a sex robot sounds like two steps away from a more advanced fleshlight. In an economy where I'm not getting paid enough to have off time I could be cruising or dating with, and in an economy where I'm already spending MOST OF MY HOURS AWAKE toiling for capitalist pigs, plooking a robot sounds no different from rubbing one out with more steps; especially when the robot in question can't spontaneously pop out a kid that's gonna cost me a million dollars over the course of 18 years.
It's depressing, but that's actually a pretty good sample size for social science.
