[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The next sexual revolution will be in our households. Women need to demand equal partners. I’m a millennial and I do feel like my generation was better at picking equal partners. I passed on so many scrubs. I married an equal partner who does chores, cooks and cares for our kids equally.

No scrubs [/quote]

It's much more likely that the next sexual revolution will be sex tech/dolls/robots that allow men to fulfill AR/VR enhanced sexual needs solo at home.  This will further diminish the utility of women and lead to major disruptions in the dating and marriage markets over the next few decades.  Ultimately it will be a disaster because what people need most out of long-term relationships is social connection and companionship, but I suspect humanity will have to re-learn that lesson the hard way.[/quote]

The utility of men as companions would be diminished too, because women can do the same thing.[/quote]

Most (not all) women value companionship and commitment more heavily whereas men, especially young men, value physical sex more heavily.  The traditional value exchange between most (not all) men and women has been sex for commitment.  So in the near term this type of sex tech is likely to have a disproportionate impact.  That said in the existential sense I think it will diminish us all as humans because it will lead to further social isolation and disconnection.  Eventually we will learn the lessons and adapt, as we always do, and that will lead to much healthier relationships for both men and women.[/quote]

I think the primary reasons women value male commitment are to raise their kids within a stable relationship (if they want kids), and financial support. As women become more financially independent, neither of these things are a concern. If traditional societal norms don’t exist, men don’t need wives and can have sex robots, and women can use sperm donor to have kids and raise them with family/friend circle or hired help. This will disconnect us all as humans and isn’t ideal, but it requires societal massive cooperation to overcome. The answer is NOT a return to shitty 50’s values when only men worked and held all financial power while wifey stayed at home doing the hard and thankless job of managing all childcare and household chores.[/quote]
