BBC America ran a special last year in their "weird shit" department about men who buy custom-made dolls that look like adult women complete with all the orifices, and they pay thousands of pounds for these things and name them and have "relationships" with them in a twisted way, and I don't just mean that they have sex with them. Well, chacun a son ew.
So, if you were to imagine a female equivalent of this, what do you think it would be? Well I guess many women employ artificial stimulation but as far as I know it's just the one item, used for a specific purpose, and there's no relationship going on there.
No, for relationships the BBC has offered us the women's version: dolls that look exactly like real newborn babies, some of them actually breathing and with heartbeats, made to order and costing a fortune as well.
The parallels are really funny here. The men want a "woman" they can fuck without any attachments, who doesn't do any of those annoying things like talk, have opinions, or be an actual person -- just something they can project themselveds onto (and into). By the same token, one of the women who is married but chose not to have children wanted to have one of these babies that look nice when she's pushing it in a pram, and she can shop for cute clothes, but no need to change a diaper, wipe a nose, wake up to crying, or any of that tiresome nonsense.
So both our genders include shallow, pathetic people who relate better to dolls than real human beings, but isn't it interesting how we differ.
