Better to own a slave than to be one, eh? I'm not especially sympathetic to your position.

It's also not real.

Yes, it's probably better than reality. Which is it's own problems of course.

Better to own a willing slave than be forced to become one unwillingly by the government, yes.

It's still not real, though. ;) :P

The bioroid type not being "family friendly" might not be as much of a worry in the THS version of 2100. Sexual mores seem more relaxed than today in the US. Heck, some parents might even want a highly trained, sex capable bioroid to educate their children in a controlled manner.

That sounds a little paranoid; I seriously doubt that divorces happen at the "drop of a hat", and you make it sound like paying child support is some malicious plot to put men behind bars and/or ruin them financially.

Comparing having to pay child support after a divorce to actual slavery sounds rather offensive; making you support the upbringing of a child you helped bring to the world is really not in any way comparable to slavery.

Oh dear. Are you an MRA, nick?

Yes, I am, and for good reason. Feminism is one of the worst things to happen to Western society in the 20th Century. They like to claim it's all about equality, but it's not; it's about money and power. You know how they say "Feminism is the radical idea that women are people?" They say that because they don't see men as people, and they're too self-centered to realise that men don't think the same way women do.

I suppose that it's all a little off topic, though.

Women initiate three out of four divorces, almost always get the lion's share of the property, and almost always get the children. Yes, divorces can and do happen at the drop of the hat; the only thing that stops your wife from divorcing you is the fact she doesn't desire to do so yet. As for malicious plots, well, I've barely even scratched the surface of what malicious exes get up to.

Comparing having to pay child support after a divorce to actual slavery sounds rather offensive; making you support the upbringing of a child you helped bring to the world is really not in any way comparable to slavery.

Someone else owns your labor and has the ability to legally compel you to work with the threat of prison if you fail to do so. It certainly sounds like slavery to me, even if it's not chattel slavery.

I have come here to laugh at you.

That's nice. I don't care. Classic feminist, using shaming tactics rather than actually trying to counter my arguments (because you know you can't, without sounding incoherent).

The tangent on MRA/feminism/etc. is not appropriate for this subforum. If you wish to continue it, take it to GenChat, but be warned that as a flammable topic, it will be treated harshly in case anyone steps over the line of polite discussion.
(Also, just in case you do continue it in GenChat, make sure you understand that there are all sorts of people, from good to bad, that often get lumped into single lables denoting vague groups.)

And while we're at it, Deep Beyond, Broken Dreams, Cities on the Edge and Toxic Memes also happen to contain more interesting things than just fetish-templates.
