It would appear that in a world dominated

by males, that the female version will always

be subservient.

Just a hole to birth them out .

Then a hole to stick their dicks into.

Woman to my mind will always be the

superior species because even knowing

what we know we don’t off all males infants.

Women are not a different species :-)

“Gynoid” is a new one to me (and my spellcheck).

I wonder what the reaction would be if you said that ChatGPT “is female” or “is trained to answer as a woman” or “in the character of a woman”. I wonder if people have ever wondered if it manifests the behaviour of one or the other sex.

If an android is a simulation of a man’s body… 😁

Does ChatGPT wear lipstick though, Charles? How can it be a woman if it doesn’t wear make-up and a dress?? 🤪

Thanks for writing this Gia. The women in the BladeRunner sequel caught my attention, being either subservient sexbots, victims, or evil. It ruined the film for me.

(I think your "female" iPhone is brilliant).

On this topic I recommend Sex Dolls, Robots and Woman Hating: the Case for Desistance by Caitlin Roper. Think, indeed.

I can’t remember what I said.

I believe actions speak.

Think of the sacrifice of a mother .

She kept you in her body gave birth to you

in agony .

Even if she left you at that moment

you live because she did not discard you.

She made sure you were safe.

It makes me wonder how much of our future technology will replicate these biases and whether we’ll learn to address them before they become even more embedded in our creations. Thank you for sparking such an important conversation!
