Women have two niches in life: looking beautiful and making babies
The first niche will be taken by sexbots
The second by artificial wombs
Society will suddenly realize it doesn’t need women and those in power will quickly start replacing and disempowering them.
People like to consider the positive implications of technology but they don’t like to consider the negative implications
The smart strategy for women would be to ban ALL of the following:
- sexbots
- artificial wombs

To some extent TERF women like @jk_rowling are smart enough to realize that it’s essential to defend the female monopoly on this stuff. But the average woman just isn’t strategic enough to go along with this, and there’s (as always) a collective action problem so you get defectors.

To some extent TUFF men like @RokoMijic are smart enough to realize that it’s essential to defend the male monopoly on this stuff. But the average man just isn’t strategic enough to go along with this, and there’s (as always) a collective action problem so you get defectors.
[1] Women get to keep the Oxford comma.
Wait, are we banning electrical boxes that transfer electrical energy between electrical circuits, or trucks that turn into weird little guys or sometimes are cassette tapes that turn into cats?
I can’t tell which one is a viable replacement for men.
Take Optimus Prime, for example:
Pros:
Cons:
Counterpoint: I have read fanfiction where Optimus Prime is a pretty solid cuddler.
Society could replace like 50-90% of men in leadership positions with answering machines that record what women say and play it back at a lower pitch to simulate a male voice claiming women’s ideas as their own. Also the answering machine has a strapon equipped
