Do you think feminism has been a net positive or net negative for relationships?

Do you think relationships are better when they reflect “needs“? I think the fact that I don’t “need” my husband to support me financially, sign for any business deal I do, or give me permission for medical treatment makes our relationship much better. Is your hypothesis that in places where women do not have rights, relationship relationships are better? Because, at least a news reporting, there seem to be a lot of murders and suicides of women being abused.


The question one is it better for relationships. No. It's not. Men can get the sex they want by never marrying and women can support themselves and kids if they want them. Neither "needs" a relationship to get their needs met.


People should never need to be together. They should want to be together.


Except that was the point of the social contract between men and women that worked for eons. And now that's broken. Men can get sex whenever they want and women can support themselves. There really is no point to a relationship for most people. Soon there will be bots so men won't even need a real woman. You can decide if that's better or not.


Just because people aren’t desperate for a relationship doesn’t mean they don’t benefit from them.

But fewer people will be in relationships. What's the point? So if fewer people do something is that a positive or negative? Certainly seems like it's made relationships irrelevant and how can one argue that is better for relationships?

It’s a negative for toxic and fear-based relationships

Relationships of all kinds are on the decline. Families are adrift. People have fewer friends. Marriages down. People will be islands unto themselves.

Why do men seem to think the idea of them inflicting themselves on a robot is some kind of threat to women? Robots are exactly who you guys deserve for your refusal to improve yourselves and insistence on continuing to be exploitative and entitled.

This alleged social contract works for whom? Women would not have ran for the hills the moment we had the opportunity if the contract was working for us.

If you think people won't be in AI relationships in the future and think somehow everyone is going to fall in line and be the ideal partner, you're fooling yourself. Men won't need women who nag them and women don't want men who constantly disappoint them. This is the future.

It's very telling that sex is the only purpose you can think of for a woman. The robots cannot arrive quickly enough. Go get your sex and spare us your existence.

I'm a woman but it's perfectly clearly how this is going to play out. Are you blind?

Give me a break. Then tell us why men want to be in relationships with women? What's the point?

So what? I want every single miserable, hateful man in society paired up with a robot as soon as possible.

So you agree that this isn't better for relationships. There's no point in making yourself better for a partner b/c you can have an AI partner who will never complain.
