Prostitutes Grouse as Robots Begin to Displace Them

Minimum wage insanity has forced the fast food industry to scramble to roboticize its workforce. But this shouldn’t be an issue in the sex industry, where robots already compete for prostitutes’ jobs:

Europe’s first sex robot brothel has been forced to move after real-life prostitutes complained sex dolls were stealing their trade. …

Prostitutes who work in the city with Aprosex – the Association of Sex Professionals – objected saying a doll cannot match the services of a real person and denigrates real sex workers to merely being an object.

Here I was thinking that sex workers denigrated themselves to merely being objects.

Janet, a prostitute with over 30 years in the industry, who works in the city’s Raval district said: “It is another strategy of the patriarchy that presents us as objects without rights or soul. A privilege of the wealthy classes.”

For those interested in sordidly vacuous sex, robots offer at least one advantage: they can be programmed not to spew moonbattery.
