I am shocked, shocked, that you would make such heteronormative and sexist assumptions about robot gender.

My army will consist entirely of gaybots, of course. Or bifembots. (lesbots I guess wouldn't be bad either.)

Haha. Yeah. You know, I totally didn't agree with the side I was arguing for at the time.

But I do remember this adrenaline rush as Scharf took the bait and asked exactly the question I had rehearsed in my head over and over again for the day or two before. "Either Bob or Scharf is going to lob this at me..."
