A new business opportunity
This one comes straight from the “You couldn’t make it up” genre of newspaper website stories but, in case Rust readers have missed it on their daily trawl of the internet, today I really did feel the need to draw their attention to this recent story on the imminent arrival of the concept of robot brothels in the UK – see here – DAILY MAIL
Last night, once I’d returned home after rushing down to my local travel agent to book my fortnight’s holiday in Barcelona beginning 8th May, I could not help but laugh out loud at the recalling – not the essential facts of the report – but the PC-drenched reaction of the Portsmouth University academic lady who comments that the advent of robot brothels could have implications for the rights of ‘legitimate sex workers’.
It must be a tough life being a modern feminist. On the one hand, pursuing the entire male population for being potential rapists, fundamentally useless and above all disrespecting women at every turn – and yet, on the other, also objecting to men having sex with robots – presumably because it might potentially disadvantage the employment prospects of female human sex workers!
