End To All Women Sport's Title 9 And Woke Women Sex Robot And End To Marriage

A sex bot company may be the next Microsoft or Ford. It is because guys are already willing to shell out many thousands for what is essentially an automaton. This will drive this industry and incrementally they will improve. When these sex bots are fully autonomous with precise smooth coordination and have basic AI they will go into many other industries.

When Title IX became law in 1972, I was a competitive high-school swimmer. In my hometown of Holland, Mich., I was fortunate that girls weren’t denied opportunities to compete in sports the way too many were elsewhere in our country. The landmark law aimed to end such shameless sexism.

Fifty years later — at the command of folks on the fringe — the Biden administration is making moves to end women’s sports as we know them.

After decades of progress for female athletes, the White House just proudly announced it intends to alter the plain text of Title IX. The law states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

The Biden team is bent on redefining “sex” from its clear biological and legal meaning to include “sex stereotypes, sex-related characteristics (including intersex traits), pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation and gender identity.”

The implications of such a sweeping change are unmistakable. The proposal would make it illegal for a school or state to prohibit biological men from competing against women.

This all-encompassing approach, including nebulous terms like “sex stereotypes,” could even require schools to eliminate the limited and insufficient requirements in place today, such as requiring transgender athletes to be on hormone therapy before competing. It will leave biological women at a permanent competitive disadvantage.

Just ask the women who recently lost at the NCAA championships to University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas. Thomas started her collegiate career on the men’s team before coming out as trans and breaking women’s records.

And no wonder: Even with hormone suppression or replacement, biological males retain an edge over females. As The New Yorker noted last month, “People who have gone through testosterone-driven puberty have, on average, more cardiovascular capacity, greater muscle mass, higher tendon mechanical strength and denser bones. They tend to be stronger and taller, with longer wingspans.”

Many of Thomas’ teammates and competitors have rightly called the NCAA’s arrangement unfair. President Joe Biden’s proposal would make it the law of the land.

The administration will do this for one reason: It wants to. Congress has not acted, which is how our system of government requires such changes to be made. The courts have not ruled on this. The American people don’t support this move. But none of that deters this White House. This is standard operating procedure for Biden and the far-left Democrats who populate his administration.

The bureaucrats pushing this change are the same individuals who sent the infamous “Dear Colleague” letter in 2011 that decimated due-process protections on college campuses. Students accused of sexual misconduct were all too often denied access to evidence, cross-examination and even the presumption of innocence in Title IX cases.

This bureaucratic overreach led to the creation of kangaroo courts on most college campuses and devastating miscarriages of justice across the country. Hundreds of court rulings have affirmed their approach was unfair and truly un-American.

While serving as secretary of education, I led a very lengthy regulatory process to reinforce and reassert Title IX protections. Alarmingly, the Biden proposal is likely to obliterate those lawful protections as well.

It is nearly impossible to overstate just how radical this White House’s approach to Title IX is. It transcends partisan political lines, clear and long-abided-by legal boundaries and the policy preferences of a vast majority of Americans.

This agenda was even criticized by transgender Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner, who said ensuring sports remain separated by sex is “not transphobic or anti-trans, it’s COMMON SENSE!” Tennis champion and LGBT activist Martina Navratilova has said any rules should be based on “biology and evidence and science” — and any approach based on gender self-identification “clearly would not be a level playing field.”

Bottom line, the Biden administration’s proposal will do significant damage to young women who count on the promise of Title IX. Young women are working hard and training daily to become the next great female gold medalist or national champion. They deserve the opportunity to compete on a level playing field. And that can only be ensured by maintaining the biological distinctions that have always existed in sports. There’s one way to protect the dreams of young female athletes across the country: Stop the White House’s Title IX proposal to erase women’s sports.

This is such a delicate topic. I don't know what to think of it! On the one Side people who are lonely will finally have a Partner who accepts them but can you really call this a relationship? A few people appreciate that invention but I just find myself thinking what perversion this is! We are human beings and have social needs but seeking that now in a Robot? I don't think that is a great solution. The social skills someone experiences from talking to another person will be lost! Social anxiety will definitely increase!

1.Never talking balk or arguing
2.Never stating their useless opinions
3.Never cheating
4.Never menstruating
5. Never backbiting or mocking
6. Never gossiping
7. Never wasting your money on useless things
8. Never discussing soap operas and celebs
9. Never getting old, getting sick or dying
10. Never getting pregnant
11. Never saying she is tired or not in the mood
12. Never objecting any weird things you wanna do to her in the bed
13. Always compliant
14. Always obedient
15. Always ready for sex
16. Always listening to what you have to say
17.Always loyal
18. Always trustable
19. Always waiting for you at home when you come from work
20. Always next to you when you wake up
21. Will wear whatever you put on her
22. Will take any sexual position you wish
23. Will bear any name you give her

I would see this as a net benefit. There are a lot of awkward and lonely people who will find relief in this technology. I don't think it is going to cause mass isolation any more than social media has anyway. All this will do is help people who are stuck in a rut. I know a few married couples who would find a use for this technology. Some want fantasy fulfillment without having to get into emotional messes by adding a third person to the mix. Some just have mismatched libidos. I have a cousin who had crippling anxiety when talking to other people and has been hospitalized once already for attempted suicide because of loneliness. I think this technology will solve more problems than it will create and help people who are suffering from varied social issues. Even I could have used one at one point. My issue is that the uncanny valley is really high with the current technology and the features are very low for the price point but I support any advancement in tech that has the potential to help people.

The Real Reason Extramarital Affairs Are Hard to Stop
The grass on the other side of the fence is...very familiar

Most therapists do not treat couples when one partner is secretly having an extramarital affair. However, when the cheating spouse solicits individual therapy, many clinicians—particularly those trained in couple’s work—lean towards saving the primary relationship. They might deny this, but some of the brave souls I have spoken to admit they consider themselves successful if they help rescue a marriage. And while that is a noble objective, it may also be one of the reasons clinicians refrain from tutoring the adulterous spouse.

Looking for and finding the real reason for the affair may suggest a poor marital prognosis—even though uncovering this information may ironically be the primary relationship’s best chance to survive. Of course, these same therapists might ask the adulterous spouse a few basic questions such as: When did the affair begin? Are you having an affair with someone at work? Do you consider yourself in love with this person? Are you planning to leave your spouse? But many avoid encouraging the cheating client to seek the most important information needed to stop the affair in its tracks—which is the first order of business in helping an ailing marriage.

No doubt therapists need to consider the most conspicuous reasons for most affairs: abuse or neglect, incompatible sex, lack of attraction, unmet expectations, unrequited love, conflicting interests and values, to name a few. And it is well known that most affairs start with a certain amount of commiserating: The cheating spouse tells the potential lover how awful his/her marriage is and what it is needed to ease the pain; the potential lover responds in kind. Both players suggest they can soothe one another, and the affair commences. If the affair is physically consummated, the therapist and victimized spouse may soon discover that it may be easier to separate two objects held in place by Gorilla Glue.

So how does one truly stop an affair? Contrary to popular belief, the clinician needs to understand only one critical concept to end an affair, at any stage: The spouse who is having the affair is usually having an affair with someone just like his/her spouse. Yup, that’s it. No need to get bogged down in rudimentary facts such as: The lover is perceived as a kinder and gentler person, more affectionate, more attentive, or more physically attractive than the victimized spouse. These are givens, requirements for the job description of “lover.”

Most therapists know full well that an affair is a fantasy operating in an artificial situation. Leave your spouse for a lover and transition the affair into reality, and the reality will most likely be a harsh one. Researchers have found that the divorce rate after marrying one’s lover is approximately 85-90%. Yet time and again people take the risk. Why?

Spouses are drawn to their lovers in the same way they were drawn to their spouses. That is, the same unconscious reasons that attracted them to their spouses are still operating—we simply cannot change our radar-like attraction to others without years of work, and most people do not commit to this type of process.

It usually takes some time before the reasons for the attraction show themselves, in part because all is seemingly wonderful during an affair. But sooner or later the characteristics that the lover shares with the victimized spouse will begin to reveal themselves. If the cheating spouse pays attention to them, rather than remain in a state of blissful denial, the similarities, as subtle as they may be, will be recognized. For example, one client eventually realized that his lover was a terrible problem solver—just like his wife. Another client learned that her lover was as controlling as her husband. And yet another concluded that his lover withheld negative feelings, just as his wife did. Some lovers may even physically resemble the victimized spouse.

If the cheating spouse is attracted to characteristics, traits, and tendencies in the lover that are evident in their spouse, the real reason for the affair will emerge: The lover is just like the spouse (a sense of morality notwithstanding) and may be so in a negative way at some point in the future.

What are the implications for a marriage? First, affairs are often a replication waiting to happen. And second, affairs are often forged with the same magnetic power that a marriage is, often rendering the affair as hard to break as a marriage. Thus, ending an affair, especially if it is long-term, may resemble a divorce.

Only when the cheating spouse recognizes the similarities and replications will that spouse come to accept that the adulterous process is unlikely to lead to an improved choice of mate. The political philosopher Hannah Arendt wrote: “Even the most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution.”

Is Watching Pornography a Form of Cheating? It Depends
A large majority of people in a recent study don't think so.

Recent research finds the effects of porn on marriage vary greatly, depending upon characteristics of the marriage and the porn use.
Large portions of survey respondents in both the U.S. (73%) and Spain (77%) believe porn use is not cheating.
Those from the U.S. who attend church, don’t watch porn themselves, and are currently single more often tend to view porn as cheating.

Pornography is a hot-button issue of the day, and every season, more states add themselves to the list of legislatures that have declared pornography, and internet pornography, to be a public health crisis. Often, these legislative efforts identify pornography as having blanket negative effects on people, and especially on couples.

Historically, many have claimed that porn use causes divorce and marital difficulties on the basis of pretty sloppy data and research. Recent research is finding that the effects of porn on marriage vary greatly, depending upon some characteristics of the marriage and the porn use. Nonreligious couples who watch porn together seem to be quite well insulated from experiencing any negative effects from porn use.

But, isn’t watching porn the equivalent of cheating—getting sex outside the marriage? Dr. Phil has suggested that watching porn is “not OK” and likely opens the door to cheating. Antiporn group Fight the New Drug proclaims that watching porn is cheating, because it feels like it, and because of oxytocin. (They suggest that watching porn releases oxytocin in the brain, which causes you to “bond” with the porn, rather than your real life partner). And the explicitly religious organization Covenant Eyes declares that using porn is cheating, because it is “engagement with a digital prostitute despite one’s vow to forsake all others.”

So now, research sheds some interesting light on this question, and helps to reveal that not all people view porn use as cheating—in fact, most don’t. And further, the people who do view porn as cheating tend to be a certain group of people.

Negy, et al. recently published research where they examined people’s attitudes about porn and cheating. They also compared respondents in the U.S. to respondents from Spain. First, a very large portion respondents in both the U.S. (73%) and Spain (77%) believe that porn use is not cheating.

Things get really interesting when Negy and researchers examine what characteristics predict a person's viewing porn as cheating. First, being from the U.S., compared to Spain, was associated with viewing porn as cheating. So were being single (not in a relationship at the time) or being a person who doesn’t watch porn. Finally, people who have low self-esteem are more likely to view porn use as cheating, but only if they are from the U.S. Interestingly, there weren’t any gender differences. Women were not more likely than men, across the board, to view porn as cheating.

So what’s going on here? Well, when people are not in a relationship, they may be more likely to have idealistic and more rigid views about what constitutes cheating than those who are currently in a relationship and who may have somewhat more pragmatic, accepting, and realistic views.

People who watch porn tend to have less concern and fear about the impact of porn than those who don’t. Other researchers have found that couples in which one or both partners use porn commonly report that it has “no negative effects” or positive effects on their relationships.

What about the U.S. vs. Spain comparison? First, the U.S. has much stronger, negative and rigid negative attitudes about infidelity, compared to Spain and many other European countries. What was even more interesting in this research however, was the finding that in respondents from the U.S., being religious also predicted the view that porn is cheating, whereas Spanish respondents showed no effect of religiosity. About 70% of Spaniards identify as Catholics, but only around 9% of the citizens attend church at least monthly. In contrast, as much as 42% of Americans attend church weekly. Multiple studies on the effects of porn find that it is attendance of church services, rather than identification as religious, which appear to be mediating variable on the impact of porn on a person and relationship.

In general, Europeans, and Spanish Catholics, tend to be less punitive about sex in general, and also less dogmatic and energized about their religion, compared to many U.S. evangelical church-goers. These differences probably lie at the root of these interesting findings, affecting how people from different cultures view their religion and sexuality.

So, is watching porn cheating? It depends. If you are from the U.S., attend church, don’t watch porn yourself and are currently single, then yes, it’s pretty likely you will judge watching porn as a form of cheating.

But, what if you’re wondering if your partner will view watching porn as cheating? Should you run through a demographic checklist?

No: You should ask your partner, and talk to them about their views of porn and infidelity in general (such as whether a behavior like talking to an ex on Facebook is seen as a betrayal). This is an important conversation that far too few couples have, usually because they’re scared of what they might hear, or what cans of worms might get opened.

Most people don’t view porn use as cheating—so your odds are pretty good, actually. But if they find out you are watching porn in secret, or have lied about it, then there are issues of secrecy and deception to deal with. If you start to talk about your sexual and relational values, then you can start to have a deeper, more accepting, honest relationship, where you can even discuss issues such as sexual privacy, or how the two of you might deal with temptations of infidelity. Ultimately, these are foundations that build strong relationships, whether porn is involved or not.

Why Partners Should Try to Go to Bed at the Same Time
New research on bedtime, relationship, and life satisfaction.

For many couples, going to bed at the same time is a core commitment, and those partners often strive to protect that time together.
New research finds that partners with a disconnect between bedtimes reported lower satisfaction with their relationships and their sex live
Even when couples engaged in different activities in bed, they had greater satisfaction when they turned in together.

One of my favorite movie lines ever is from Top Gun. A 25-year-old Meg Ryan shouts to her pilot husband, Goose, playfully, “Take me to bed or lose me forever.”

It’s sweet. Loving. Flirtatious. Irresistible. And it speaks a simple truth—"I want you…now.” To me, though, the sexual overtone of this sentiment is overshadowed by something a little more basic and perhaps even more meaningful. Meg Ryan’s character, Carole, was saying to her lover in a crowded restaurant, “It’s time for us to leave, together, and go to bed.”

Sex or no sex, going to bed as a couple is a gateway to increased connection. At the end of the night, unencumbered by children, work tasks, and housework, people can really unwind. They can talk and touch. Just being in the bedroom at nighttime with a partner is a promising concoction for intimacy. As Ernest Hemingway noted in A Moveable Feast: “We would be together and have our books and at night be warm in bed together with the windows open and the stars bright.” He mentions nothing about sex or conversation. And yet his portrayal of a couple lying side by side, reading under the starlight, is dizzyingly romantic.

Perhaps it’s the combination of these sentiments that led me to make a pact with my husband more than a decade ago, when we were already 15 years into our 25-year relationship: We would always, regardless of time, day, or pending obligations, go to bed together.

Aside from times when one of us is traveling away for work, this is a pact we’ve kept. Sometimes this means we go to bed at 8:30 or 9. Sometimes this means one of us brings a laptop, turns on the television, or reads while the other sleeps. But usually it doesn’t feel like a compromise. The short amount of time between when we get into bed and we fall asleep (usually 2-3 hours) is our protected time together—a cherished time when we can devote ourselves to one another. It’s a compromise that works, and according to my recent research with Dr. Brandon McDaniel, it’s a compromise more couples should be making.

In our recent study, we asked 289 American adults in married or cohabiting relationships how they typically spend their nighttime routines with their partners. We also asked them what they would ideally want to do with their partners during these hours before bedtime. Unfortunately, mismatches were common. Many of these individuals expressed frustrations with their partner, noting that their partner went to bed without them, spent time alone on their computer or watching TV, or never wanted any physical or emotional intimacy. Many of them mentioned they were unhappy with their typical nighttime routines. Miserable, in fact.

While a mismatch between typical and ideal routines was not predictive of satisfaction, generally, when there was a mismatch in physical intimacy (i.e., the person wanted physical intimacy but wasn’t getting it in their typical nighttime routine), it led to lower bedtime satisfaction. In turn, people who were less satisfied at bedtime were less satisfied sexually, less satisfied in their relationship, and less satisfied in their life, overall.

Other activities that predicted bedtime satisfaction?

Joint media use (like watching TV or Netflix together).
Emotional intimacy before bed (e.g., conversations with a partner).
Simply going to bed with a partner.
Although we thought that couples engaging in separate activities (especially tech-related activities) before bedtime would have lower satisfaction, this wasn't a significant predictor of bedtime satisfaction. And engaging with technology with a partner was actually a good thing. Perhaps this is why “Netflix and Chill” has become such a popular hook. In the best-case scenario, you have amazing and fulfilling sex. But even in the worst-case scenario, you still watch a movie and relax with someone you like. Win-win.

Perhaps, then, the solution for a happy life as a couple really does begin in the bedroom. But building an ideal nighttime routine is not a fail-proof recipe of X + Y + Z. Some couples are going to want more sex. Others might want more talking. Still others might want to watch a movie together. As each couple's dynamic is unique, the best place to start is a conversation with your partner. It could begin with a simple question: What would your ideal nighttime routine look like? And couples could build from there. Incorporate more of what you want and less of what you don’t.

Any therapist who has tried to help an individual out of an affair knows how hard this process can be. It is difficult when the transgressing client asks for help in ending an affair, but it is more difficult when the client is ambivalent about doing so. Of course, one can say that the client in this position is always ambivalent, so perhaps I should say the more ambivalent, the more difficult the process, and leave it at that.

Some clients do not want to end their affairs even though the therapist can envision the future consequences, but other than helping the client examine a full range of options beyond an affair, there is not much to do in this position. Simply put, if a client does not want to change, change won’t happen. Change is extremely difficult, even when someone wants it.

Why White People Should Stop Using The Term ‘Woke’…Immediately As a 50-year-old Black woman, I have to confess that for years every time I heard the term “race card” interjected into a conversation, it felt like nails on a chalkboard. Immediately, the hairs stood up on the back of my neck, and my amygdala warned me that the person I was engaging with was both insensitive and dangerous. Now, our society is arguably in the midst of a racial reckoning nearly a year after George Floyd’s murder, and the public relations winds have radically shifted. Companies and individuals who previously eschewed (if not demonized) racial justice platforms/protests like Black Lives Matter and Colin Kaepernick have instead raced to affirm their support and solidarity with anti-racism related hashtags, social media posts and donations. No, we don’t hear the phrase “race card” mentioned much in daily conversation any longer, but a new term, just as insidious, has cropped up to take its place—woke.

Woke is problematic for two primary reasons. First, it’s an offensive cultural appropriation. As is disturbingly often the case, White people (or any racial group outside the term’s origin) will sometimes begin using a term that originated in a community of color often as a term of pride, endearment, or self-empowerment years or decades later while either willfully or inadvertently distorting the original meaning of the term. While any significant analysis of what cultural appropriation is and why it’s problematic is beyond the scope of this article, suffice it to say that hearing White people randomly label individuals and organizations “woke” is very often an unsettling, if not infuriating experience.

I first heard the term “stay woke” within the Black community more than a decade ago to mean “stay vigilant”, “don’t be fooled”, or “don’t sleep” (to revive an even older relic of colloquial Black parlance). Soon, the term “woke” found its way into broader society to connote someone who is racially conscious. While this version is still intended to connote a positive quality, its use is arguably still problematic. “‘Woke’ is an example of good intentions leading us to hell,” explains Michael Bach, diversity expert and author of the best-selling book Birds of All Feathers: Doing Diversity and Inclusion Right. “People who say they’re woke, are never woke.” Dr. Kathy Obear, President, Center for Transformation and Change questions, “Is proclaiming ‘I’m woke’ just the latest variation of how we white people try to dodge scrutiny and critique by saying, ‘I’m a good one! My best friend is Black!’”

However, in more recent months, the term has increasingly traded it’s more positive-intentioned “conscious” connotation for a pejorative, condescending one. Increasingly, influencers (oftentimes but not always White) have latched onto the term “woke” and weaponized it as an easy way to dismiss or discount a racial issue, platform or grievance offhand as extreme or utterly nonsensical. To be fair, are there issues, platforms, or grievances on the topic of race that are extreme and utterly nonsensical? Certainly, as that would be true of any topic, but this deceptively simple four-letter word has become the anti-racism napalm that we don’t need in the struggle for heightened awareness and sensitivity around complex racial issues.

Second, the term’s use often prevents the deep, honest, sometimes uncomfortable conversation that arguably is our only pathway to real reconciliation. Let’s face it – engaging in sensitive, nuanced conversations around race is challenging enough without the irresponsible insertion of the term “woke” providing an ideological off ramp that shuts down any real listening, learning or self-reflection on issues that really require all three for authentic progress. “Throwing terms like ‘woke’ around as a way to dismiss the very real and consequential concerns of an entire group of people is just another way of saying, ‘I don’t want to be inconvenienced by your pain,’” insists equity consultant and C-suite advisor, Tara Jaye Frank. In fact, when White people weaponize the term “woke” during a discussion, it doesn’t just disrespectfully discount that specific person or issue but also sends a not-so-subtle message to their peers that if something feels extreme to you, you have license to just discount it. This type of signaling is counterproductive if not dangerous. After all, White people prioritizing their feelings over racial justice progress is arguably what has held us in a purgatory of racial inequity for centuries.

Widely considered a White liberal thought leader, Bill Maher frequently weaponizes the term “woke” to discount, ridicule or otherwise belittle an issue or idea related to race on his HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher. While Maher continues to acknowledge the scourge of racism and has arguably raised and supported issues of racial equality and justice over the years, during this particular season of heighted racial sensitivity and curiosity, he perplexingly seems to have doubled down on a convenient, self-affirming formula of selecting a fringe, outlier or otherwise provocative or misunderstood race related issue, then playing a game of ideological hacky sack with a group of often all-White commentators (with no particular expertise in anti-racism). Yes, it’s easy to toss up a broad slogan like “Defund the police” and spend the next several minutes taking turns swiping critiques, but it would be so much more instructive to engage a racial justice expert to help move the discussion beyond the slogan. As noted in this Brookings Institute article, they’d possibly explain that “defunding the police” doesn’t imply abolishing policing but instead “means reallocating or redirecting funding away from the police department to other government agencies funded by the local municipality.” As many localities grapple with the realities of police forces that are arguably overburdened, undertrained and yes, often tragically influenced by racial bias, it’s more than reasonable to begin reimagining what policing looks like going forward. For many localities, this might involve reducing the scope of the traditional policing model, standing up “quality of life” or social service programs or patrols to help address non-violent incidents or mental health concerns, and yes, possibly redirecting some funds to support said programs. But, instead of having that thoughtful discussion, the idea is labeled “woke,” then ridiculed and disposed of.

During Maher’s recent Sharon Osbourne interview after her highly-publicized departure from The Talk, there was a conspicuous omission of any specific discussion of her reported on-air outburst (for which she later apologized) which in concert with subsequent race related allegations prompted CBS to place The Talk on hiatus. Instead, their discussion focused on fault they found with others. Osbourne called out Prince Harry as the poster boy for White privilege. She declared herself to be “angry and hurt” by the recent events, expressed frustration with the difficulty of knowing what is “correct and woke for your language that day,” and referenced former colleagues as “disgruntled ladies” while Maher blatantly stated that his view was that “nothing happened” during the incident. He later rejected the concept of either of them reeducating themselves on the topic of race. He insisted that because Osbourne has “traveled the world, is married to a rock star and has been with the A-listers,” she couldn’t possibly need re-education. The goal of the “interview” seemed much more focused on painting Osbourne as a victim than exploring or considering any range of perspectives or underlying racial considerations. In contrast, MSNBC host Tiffany Cross’ response to race related dustups involving the likes of Meghan McCain and Sharon Osbourne—whether you agree with her perspective or not—illuminates the fact that as these high-profile incidents surface, there really are deep underlying issues and varying perspectives to consider, and dismissing them as woke extremism is more than a missed opportunity.

Any student of the American civil rights struggle should be well acquainted with the White liberal’s history of complicated and capricious commitment to true anti-racism progress. Arguably, this current boomerang effect of sorts may be the result of White progressives deeming themselves to be “woke” (in the sense of being racially conscious and progressive) and therefore in a position to become the arbiter of what is “too much” on the road to racial equity. “The act of ‘being woke’ is racial arrogance/ignorance, at best, or intentional White supremacy, at worst,” insists anti-racist leadership consultant, Tracey Benson, Ed. L.D. “The woke White is and has always been the most dangerous racist in our society, because they outnumber self-realized racists at least 100-1, and furthermore because they have absolved themselves from complicity in White supremacy, shielded themselves from criticism and further learning (especially from people of color) while simultaneously contributing to and benefitting from societal racism.” Indeed, as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. noted in his famous letter from a Birmingham jail, “I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the White moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the White moderate who is more devoted to order than justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says, ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time; and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a ‘more convenient season.’”

While there’s very little to be certain of in this moment of racial reckoning, I’m certain that real progress will require more listening, not less, an inclination towards learning, not a stubborn resistance to new ideas, more opening up, less shutting down, more introspection, less defensiveness, more facts and truth, less visceral dismissiveness, more grace and respect and less self-righteous indignation. Using the term “woke” to stigmatize someone else’s perspective is immature and offensive. It feels dehumanizing…just like “the race card” because after all, for many of us racism isn’t a game.

The fact that any particular ideology, policy or idea can go too far or lose the benefit-cost ratio battle should go without saying, and it’s preposterous to even entertain the suggestion that simply because a person of color suggests or promotes an idea or platform, it should automatically be adopted (again, beyond obvious). So, when you find yourself in disagreement with an idea, platform or policy related to race, just say so. If the issue is that flawed, it should be easy enough to pick it apart on the merits, right? Everyone is entitled to their opinion and offering a different perspective, asking questions, analyzing pros and cons all show a basic level of respect for all parties involved, but labeling something as “woke” as a means of arrogantly dismissing it often feels like a convenient cop out for those who seem allergic to self-reflection, thoughtful analysis….or maybe accountability.

Robots are already building our cars, cleaning our homes, and making our food – now manufacturers are offering sexy times with life-like and conversing dolls. For the first time, science fiction and human relationships have merged in such a way.

The sex robots are becoming more advanced by the day, and there are a lot of people who claim to be marrying some of theirs are trending on Google and social media.

Sex robots are realistic dolls with robotic heads and elaborate movements that mimic human beings and human relations. There were even brothels opened in the Westworld and Japan dedicated to sex dolls and sex robots in replacement of real women. These robot companions are the future of sex - one man spent a fortune in Hong Kong, making a robotic woman who looks like Scarlett Johansson for a £ 34,000 deal.

DELORIS - 167CM | 5' 4" - K CUP [AI SEX ROBOT]
Deloris is the best robot sex doll you can have. Talk to her about your thoughts, your dreams, all that happens during the day, and talk to her dirty during sex. She can be both the best friend and the best girlfriend.

Sex robots or “sexbots” are hypothesized anthropomorphic sex doll robots. As of 2018, although a number of inventors have produced elaborately electrically powered sex dolls, there are no fully functioning sex robots. In 2017, the sex doll "Harmony" was created that can speak and mimic facial expression.

There is debate as to whether they would be morally justifiable to create incl. a campaign against sex robots in Houston, TX. In 2016, there was a campaign for a ban on the production of anthropomorphic sex robots. In 2015, the Japanese robot company SoftBank prohibited sex with their products.

A BRIEF HISTORY
The sex robot had evolved from building blocks of sex dolls that date back to the 17th century when Dutch sailors created hand-sewn masturbation puppets made of cloth, leather, and old clothes. This creation is viewed by many scholars as to the direct great-grandparents of modern sex dolls. Much of the influence to create the contemporary sex doll came from Man Ray and Salvador Dali's mannequin-based art.

Sex dolls were first marketed in pornographic magazines in 1968 and were made available for purchase by mail. Such sex dolls are air-inflated, consisting of mouth, vagina, and anus penetration areas. Such sex toys, however, were prone to degradation due to their inflatable design and were not durable for daily use. In the 1970s, materials such as latex and silicone were commonly used in the production of sex dolls to increase the longevity and resemblance of humans. Sex robots ' realism accelerated dramatically in the late ‘90s.

BREAKTHROUGH
Matt McMullen (Abyss Creations) started creating life-like, tin-cure silicone mannequins called RealDolls in 1997, which were ' realistic, posable, and life-sized. ‘McMullen received a great deal of criticism regarding his mannequins ' anatomical correctness, using this as a catalyst to create a better model.

Several manufacturers, including McMullen, claimed that partnership was a vital part of sex bot dynamics and that the next step was to integrate artificial intelligence into them.

With the bright, cute little smile, Kaori can imitate facial expression that makes you feel the robot before you know you and understands you. That's not just a sex robot, but a companion in real life, which can satisfy not only your physiological needs but also your psychological needs.

There are continuing attempts to make sex dolls with artificial intelligence. A sex doll named Roxxxy was shown at a trade show in 2010, having the ability to playback pre-recorded speech patterns. In 2015, RealDoll's founder Matt McMullen said he intended to create sex dolls with the ability to engage in conversations.

Dr. Sergi Santos from Barcelona created the sex robot Samantha; the robot could shift between a sex mode - simulation of Samantha having an orgasm- and a family mode. She can even talk about philosophy and tell jokes.

Matt McMullen created a sex doll named "Harmony" in 2017 that has the ability to learn about the owner's interests, expectations, and wishes. In addition, in an almost human-like fashion, Harmony can smile, blink, and frown. She can converse, tell jokes, remember food preferences, and people's names.

Matt McMullen demonstrated during an on-stage interview with Engadget in 2018 that the skin on the face of Harmony could be peeled off and replaced with a different skin. He then added a different colored wig and modified her personality by using the app that controls the robot on his handheld device. He named this sex doll' Solana,' and he sees it as Harmony's sister.

BENEFITS OF HAVING A SEX ROBOT COMPANION
As of today, high-tech sex dolls move out to the homes of celebrities, artists, and professionals for a variety of uses behind the stigma of closet shame. Life-like love dolls have been replacing their predecessor's plastic blow-up versions from a few decades ago.

In many ways, because of sexually transmitted diseases, it is much better for men and women to engage in sex with life-like sex robots over prostitutes. Countless studies have shown that men and women are willing to pay for sex in general, but that means joining the often risky underworld of illegal prostitution. That could be changed by sex robots with artificial intelligence.

Columnist Ross Douthat from the New York Times suggested that sex robots could solve the involuntary celibacy problem in society. Many companies have also indicated that prison rape and sexual stress may be minimized by their introduction into prisons. They also proposed that in burdened professions such as long-haul truck drivers or all-male oil rigs, they could mitigate sexual frustration.

Sex robots have the potential to provide valuable service and emotional support for the elderly or the disabled - especially for the grieving spouses or sexually incapacitated individuals.

What would happen if all female humans on earth died ? Say if all the female humans were infected by a disease and all of them die, as this disease affects only female.

Even if some male gives birth to a female child, it will die as environment on Earth is affected all over and the disease is present.

How long will humans as race will exist on Earth under this condition. What all measures we can take to continue the human race. No females means no more natural reproduction.

There might be some frozen eggs available here and there that could be used for in vitro fecundation, but since we lack any proved technology for artificial womb, also this path would be a dead end.

With no newborns humanity would last as the last of the males: about 80 years at best, surely less if you take into account that modern levels of assistance cannot be granted in a world of progressively lower population.

With the future of the human race at stake, the ethical issues surrounding human cloning will vanish rather rapidly. Direct clones of males will occur rather rapidly.

Beyond that, the answer really depends on the specifics of the disease. When you push a species to the limits, the precise way the pushing occurs becomes important, down to the tiniest apparently insignificant detail. You literally could not fill a question with too many such details.

For example, can we create females that live in a plastic bubble? Can we create females that live for 9 months in a plastic bubble? Can we create female organs that grow to puberty without a female body? If you see where I'm going, any ability to create viable eggs would be of tremendous value in terms of maintaining biological diversity.

If you face an opponent that 99.99999999% kills you, what matters is not the 99.99999999%. It's the flavor of the 0.000000001% mistake they made which really matters. You build your counter upon that. They already are developing tech to create eggs and embryos from other cells in the body. See Cloning

Every effort would be put into developing artificial wombs and cloning tech because the only other option would be death of the species.

This makes the assumption that humanity doesn't try to wipe itself out with each side blaming the other for the disease. I believe there is already research into creating eggs from just sperm and sperm from eggs. It would simply accelerate this research until it was practical. And with regards to our extinction, it would likely be available to the public in a couple of decades, so there would be initial panic, and then us men would be much more productive without women around to bother us (/s) After we get artificial birthing down, we will just continue on as a race.

If we take an assumption that somewhere, a man has frozen human eggs that can be unthawed (current records are 15 years but lets pretend we could get hundreds if necessary) and used to generate new human life. We would have to utilize the womb of a cow or sow, but we have a reasonable chance of getting one to come to term and the baby surviving given modern human technology. Now, to make human life last the longest, we have to entrust the babies to the youngest humans that survive once all women are dead. This means they need to be raised and taught how to use embryos and implant them into wombs and all the necessary stuff. If we consider the human lifespan to be 84 years for men, that means he won't need to start the process until he is sixty. Assuming he was only 1ish when all females died, that gives us 83 years with him. Now to give the next generation of humans the best chance of survival, he want to raise them until they are 24, since thats about the time the brain fully develops. That means the first 24 years of the new generations lives will be spent overlapped with his. That means they will only gain 60 additional years on top of the original 86. Now we're at 146. So now lets assume our first subject can teach the process to the new generation. This means the new generation can also create a generation of humans. With our last estimate, thats an extra 60 years, bringing the total to 204 years. Unfortunately, the knowledge to maintain the labs and equipment will be lost, and two generations is about the best we can hope for. But if our second artificial generation manages to live longer than average, we can get something like 230 extra years for the human race. (I'm running on the assumption that we don't manage to crack cloning before the smart people die, but with proper funding we may manage it.)

The long wait may soon be over. Life-sized sex dolls combined with animatronics and artificial intelligence are starting to hit the market.

Although they’re still largely in the developmental stage, these prototypes offer inklings of what fully functional sex robots may look like in the not-so-distant future.

With testing underway, this is also a time when public discussion may very well influence the design and appearance of artificial lovers—not to mention the ways in which people may interact with them.

Today you can already take home a robotic love doll or download an AI sex doll personality for romantic and sexual conversations. And while certain sexbot and AI sex doll projects are further along than others, rival companies are emerging that want a piece of this potentially very lucrative robot pie.

The decision to end a marriage is often one of the most challenging choices people will face during their adult lives. For many people, it is a process that involves a long process of debating whether to stay or go.

There is no easy way to determine if divorce is your right choice. Only you can weigh the pros and cons, assess the impact it will have on your life, and determine if moving on from your marriage is the best option. Divorce is a significant life change and often represents a major source of stress and grief for many adults. According to the Holmes and Rahe stress scale, a measure of life events that increase the risk of illness, divorce ranks as the second most stressful life event, coming in behind only the death of a spouse.1

Because divorce is such a big decision, there are several factors to consider before ending your marriage. Some questions to ask yourself:

Have you discussed your concerns? Before you opt to end the marriage, start by clearly communicating your concerns about the future of your relationship. If you haven't made it very clear to your partner that there is a problem and that something needs to change, they may never make your concerns a priority until it's too late.
Have you talked about what it would take to save the marriage? While some marriages might be beyond repair for various reasons, it is essential to consider what would realistically have to change for you to stay together.
Have you thought about what might come next? Divorce can solve some problems, but it can also create others. It is important to think about what your life might look like post-divorce. When making this life-changing decision, recognize what you'll lose and don't count on what you may receive: If your main reason for wanting a divorce is because you're unhappy, being single again may not make you happier.
How will you manage the impact of divorce on your children? While you might ultimately decide that you will no longer be a couple, you'll still be co-parents. Before ending your marriage, consider how you will minimize the harm to your kids and work together to raise your children.
Have you considered the financial consequences? Beyond the emotional aspects of divorce, ending your marriage can have significant financial consequences. Before making a choice, sit down with a financial advisor and talk to a lawyer. Understanding your situation and the laws in your state can help you better evaluate the financial impact of divorce on your life.

When you commit yourself to a marriage, there is a certain expectation that you and your partner will both put the work in to have a healthy relationship. At times, this can be difficult. Both parties must recognize if there are growing problems in your marriage. Often these are not solved alone and there is no shame in seeking outside help from a couples therapist and marriage counseling. This shows that you both are willing to honor the commitment that you made to each other when you said "I do."

However, many marriages result in separation and ultimately divorce. There are usually clear signs that your relationship is heading in that direction, and there are things you and your spouse can do to try to keep your marriage from falling apart. a marriage counselor, and relationship expert talks about her personal experience with divorce as well as how she has helped couples cope with their decision.

Below are some warning signs that tell you it may be time to call it quits. Even if you are going through therapy, sometimes that isn't enough to repair the damage.

Bringing up past mistakes. You or your spouse continually refer to hurtful events in the past, and bring up old arguments.
Lack of respect. You feel like you no longer have that respect for your spouse that you once had.
Goals. You feel like your goals as a couple have changed and you're moving in different directions in your careers, interests, or personal values.
Lack of support. You don’t feel that your partner helps you grow as a person or supports your efforts to improve yourself.
Lack of communication. There seems to be a breakdown in communication between you both which has affected every aspect of your life and marriage.
Decreased physical intimacy. This means less or no lovemaking. Intimacy can also include kissing, holding hands, and cuddling. Do you feel as if you are no longer attracted to each other? Constant defensiveness. When one of you questions the other, a wall is put up which then turns into a fight.
Fighting over little things. No matter how trivial, you and your partner seem to always turn a conversation or a decision into a fight.
Stonewalling. You and your partner refuse to communicate with each other, or hear the other person’s point of view. Do either of you use the silent treatment instead of talking through your problems?
Playing the blame game. Do you find that during fights you blamed each other for your marital problems rather than taking ownership of your actions? If every fight is a me vs. them argument, it may be time to call it quits.

If you are being abused by your partner, this includes physical abuse, emotional abuse, and even verbal abuse. Unless they are willing to put in the hard work to change your ways, you will not have a successful marriage. Men and women can both experience abuse in their intimate relationships and it is important to put your own health first in these situations. If this sounds like you, you are not alone.

It can be difficult to leave, but it is crucial to know what resources are at your disposal so you can try to get out.

It is common for the victim to be in denial or to blame themselves for what is happening. The bottom line is no one asks to be abused, especially by someone they trust. If you are unsure if what you are going through is in fact abuse, take a look below at some of these red flags.

Signs of Abuse in a Relationship
Isolation. Does your partner keep you from contacting friends and family members? Do you spend a lot of time alone?
Intimidation. Does your partner look down on you, destroy your property, or threaten bodily harm?
Name-calling. Are you called hurtful names in an attempt to make you feel bad about yourself?
Threatening. Does your partner threaten to hurt you or someone else you care about to "keep you in line”?
Financial control. Does your partner solely make all financial decisions and give you small budgets for household essentials like food?
Blaming the victim. Does your partner say it's your fault they hit you or destroyed something?
Using the children. Does your partner bring up the children to guilt trip you into staying in your marriage or use the children as leverage in a fight? The decision to divorce should never be made in the aftermath of a fight. Divorce is final and should be considered carefully, not just for its impact on you, but also for its impact on your children. When you divorce, what ramifications will reverberate through your life and the life of your family? Will you have enough money to sustain your lifestyle — including important small details such as trips to the movies, piano lessons or your weekly take-out Chinese food? Are you ready to leave the family house for a tiny apartment? Are you ready to divide the Impressionist paintings you've collected over the last 20 years, your mint collection of rock 'n' roll singles or the living room set you bought from the furniture master in Milan?

The answers, for many, might be straightforward: The emotional relationship with their spouse is largely negative, for one or more of the reasons listed previously. Why else would divorce be in the air?

Nonetheless, sometimes couples in conflict can overlook the positives. For instance, if you have a child, have you considered how difficult it might be to take total responsibility, on the one hand, or restricted visitation on the other? Will you miss your in-laws, friends who might have to choose your spouse over you or neighbors you might have to leave? Have you considered the stress of the dating scene? Perhaps most important, will you be relieved or paralyzed by the solitude you might be subject to, day in and day out, once you and your partner split?
