This shit is too grey for the courts to handle properly.
Even with a video or audio recording, it's impossible to know state of mind.
As we see with this case, they can actively be saying yes or engaging with people and then say they felt they had no choice but to participate.
Without video or audio recordings, these things almost always come down to context at best, or just they said/they said at worst.
How can our justice system find anything to be true in these situations "beyond a reasonable doubt" at that point?
I'm not detracting from sexual assault being bad, it is, I'm just pointing out that there isn't a reasonable way to fix it that I've heard so far and we can't just believe every victim because we know that it's being abused (even if it's rare) by malicious actors to punish people that committed no crime.
The only actual solution I have at this point is we should just all start fucking robots, because people are stupid.
That’s… not going to work out like you think it will.
When the subject of men having sex with robots comes up, feminists end up in fits of frothy rage. Ostensibly because “robots cannot give consent”, but that’s a blatantly bullshit answer at every conceivable level.
With all the criticism women give men for treating them as sexual objects, you’d think they would be overjoyed that it’s coming to an actual end. You’d think they would be relieved that it won’t be happening anymore, and that men can now turn to a sex robot for sexual relief.
But scratch beneath the surface - as in, dig deeper to actual motivations - and in many cases it’s because women are losing their status as sexual objects, and are deeply threatened by that loss of power over men.
It’s no different when a man that a woman has absolutely no interest in stops paying attention to her, and stops being a so-called “beta orbiter” -- a fair number of women go nuts and try to destroy his relationship with the new woman, or start a campaign of belittlement and harassment (especially if there is no other woman), calling him an incel and coordinating with her peer group to socially shame him for not paying attention to her anymore. It’s all about the leverage they can extract out of men, and not any actual interest. A man turning away is the loss of a potential or actual source of resources/entertainment/ego. And that just cannot be allowed to happen.
Which is why the single biggest opponent to sex robots are feminists. Especially the “kill all men” ones that lead the movement. They are the ones fighting sex robots with all the fury they can muster, even though men’s trivial access to sex robots will mean far fewer women being pestered or harassed or assaulted or raped.
You’d think a dramatic reduction in harassment, assaults, and rape would be a good thing, but where sex robots for men are concerned, it’s apparently a horrid evil.
Where... are you seeing "kill all men" discourse in Canada?
