You're talking about a level of technology that's probably going to be very late to the party as compared to feminism... by the time that turns up, society (and hence the "nurture" aspect of personalities) will have changed a lot. We can't accurately guess if the ratio of people who'll go for that will topple anything.

Oh man, I'm NEVER doing the fax machine again. Still not sure whose number that was.
Social stigma?
Well, you might be positive enough to hope for a society that doesn't persecute people for sexual behaviours that are no-one's business but their own, but... that's probably further off than the early stages of this technology. We still have one hell of a furore over gay relationships, after all.
I shudder to think what this woman-effeminate man society would look like, and wonder how long it would last.
That's not what feminism is...

...but like I said earlier, to hell with having that argument. This is a spudgun forum. I come here to discuss a different kind of penetration.

I'm happy with my attitude to and interactions with women, and they seem alright with it too - so that works out fine by me, no-one loses anything that wasn't theirs to lose anyway. The End.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

What does it change?? Feminism is late when compared to Nazism but the two are closely related movements

if you're like dude how dare you write such thing - that's obviously a language problem since I am polish and dumb :D

No, I'm like "Godwin's law". And to quote Wikipedia's page on Godwin's law, it marks "the end of a discussion when a Nazi analogy is made, with the writer who made the analogy being considered to have lost the argument."

~~~~~

I knew starting the discussion was risky but, gorram it, the effects of proto-transhumanism on sexual and gender identity could be interesting - and it didn't actually have to talk about the merits or otherwise of feminism.
However, evidently not interesting enough to avoid making cheap jabs at a point that I'd already said I wasn't willing to discuss for the sake of peace and sanity.

Why did I say that? Because, I can assure you, your chances of making me change my mind on this are were slim even before the insults made me stop listening. You're not the first people I've discussed with. Oh, there have been so many. And what you've got to ask is, what happened to... no, wait, that's from Doctor Who.

Still, the point stands. I've had discussions with hundreds of people, many of whom were really serious critical thinkers with discussion experience that let them pitch their arguments hard. Sure, a few of those people did make me rethink my beliefs. But dozens of people have failed to swing this kind of viewpoint in a way that swayed me - even those I was willing to give ammunition to see if they could actually make me think.

That's why I said I wasn't going to discuss it. No offence, but you two aren't demonstrating more traction in a debate than those who've already failed to make me reconsider a subject I've given as much previous thought and discussion as topics of equality - and I have no plans on giving you any of that aforementioned ammunition; my beliefs are not worth subjecting to scrutiny when the level of discussion is "Lol, Nazis".

You're very unlikely to change my views on feminism. The only thing you're likely to change my opinions of is you and, like I said, I don't think that's something we want.

I made the mistake of going through a compilation of these "vines" you alluded to, and I am now even keener to see the collapse of Western "civilisation".

Get the app and follow interesting people instead of watching high schoolers remake remakes.

EDIT: any better this time with content?

I wonder if this epic tale will break the page:

@mark
Seems ok I guess. Personally I like rounded edges more and I'd probably go for slightly more contrasting colours

On another topic, I want to control an audio output from one android phone to another. I can buy a little stereo bluetooth receiver, but I have an excess of android phones. The best phones I can spare isa Galaxy S2, and an S3 to control it.

I also have a couple of pocket PCs and two Windows phones too, but I don't want to use IR.
