Technology

I don't think the men on this thread realise the impact this world have on their lives via the women in their lives.

Idk how much is geographic, but in Europe pretty much every girl has, by the age of 15, had to use some ingenuity or running skills to get away from a random stranger who wouldn't stop hassling them for their number / just to talk! / a photo.

I don't mean like, he didn't get the hint and she had to be quite rude. I mean she had to approach a shopkeeper or stranger for help, or spin a story about their husband, or make up a number and ring their own phone at the exact right time, whatever.

I had a guy follow me home from school, then looked up my land line from my address, and he had the nerve to call and ask for me by description. I'm not stunningly attracting, but there are a lot of fucking twats out there and 1 twat can harass, what, 300 women in a year without even booking up his weekends.

And in my case, this was back in the 20th century. People have got A LOT less polite since then.

When this is not possible, because any guy can look at you and get your details, girls will absolutely stop going out on their own, and older women will make an effort to look as gross, or as masculine, as possible.

Again, statistically, they will not have much choice. Rape can destroy a life. So can threats. So can staking, or putting people in fear for their life. And it can take a perpetrator an hour, which means he's free to really, really skew the odds of being sexually traumatised in that town. If you think I'm exaggerating the risk, ask your sister / partner/ friend / coworker when they last felt intimidated by a man in public. Ask when they first had to actively shake off a random guy. You'll be shocked.

Guys, you want to live in that world? Do you look at the Taliban and think it sounds kinda fun? Well neither did most of the residents of Iran, but thats what they got.

There are some deeply, deeper deeply tragic bastards in the world who can't attract any women except their mother, and well therefore want to live in a world of where they don't have to see women in the street or the workplace, and have to feel bad.

They want a world where women are afraid to leave the house. And like most dystopias, it's a very short few steps away. It starts with giving tech bros the ability to get a woman's details, workplace, relationship status and address (and, presumably, to generate whatever AI nightmare live) just by looking at her.

If you don't want to live in that weird, testosterone sweaty world created by losers who couldn't hack reality, then do not even joke about using this crap for bloody recipes or games. There are already technologies that can do that without ushering in a new dark age.
