People always hate competition. Why even bother trying to please the cow to get the milk when you can make artificial milk that is as good as the real thing. :0

Development of these robots Is Not a Good Thing.

I deplore it.

Not to put to fine a point on it (pardon the pun), but wouldn’t a vibrator be a form of a sex robot, and hence also subject to being banned? (Hey, if they want to go down that route, fair is fair).

There are good points to consider. Had one of these been available years ago, the Hilllabeast would never have been able to avoid a permanent hamburger flipping job by boinking Bubba - thereby gaining her high profile low IQ jobs...such as senator and “leader” of the Department of State.

We need an activist campaign against activism. Why should the opinion of some activist group be more important than anyone else’s. what ever happened to mind your own damn business.

Perhaps men should try to be more appealing to women.

Wasn’t there a limerick about a man Named Maclean and his invention being a tad difficult to tidy up after?

Sounds like an ANTI-commercial

The idiot who makes the Ashley Madison cheating website was refused air time for his commercial, so they made a “My Marriage Matters” website and commercial that pretty much tells you how to get to Ashley Madison and not much else.

“harmful and contribute to inequalities in society.”

Translation: Women get fewer freebies when men no longer need them for sex.
