Feminism is Sexism plus Popularity.

Feminism cannot ever possibly be defeated and it will burn down every single thing that makes living tolerable and salt the earth just for the joy of annihilation.

You honestly think they’re going to stop the cybernetics/tissue industry?

Because what it means to be “a woman,” as a category, is on a countdown timer right now.

“but how will I ever be able to get laid if modern culture frowns upon me getting coworkers drunk and making out with them against their mumbled protestations?? it’s not like my wife is gonna sleep with me lol”

I have not actually worked out how modern culture proposes people are meant to get laid. 

I mean, people obviously seem to be doing it, but there appears to be no acceptable strategy.

You ignore the recommendations, and prove how manly you are by taking on the risk anyway, getting shut down viciously if you’re too low-status.

The problem is that any permissible channel will be FLOODED due to the mismatch between the demand for sex from women and demand for sex from men, at least at the noisiest age pools.  

Secondly, straight women (generally, on average) do not want to initiate beyond the barest hints, ones that are plausibly deniable if she turns out not to be wanted by that particular guy, leaving her sense of being desirable intact.

What is going to change this is early Transhumanism, as it’s going to alter the sex ratio and potentially result in an increase in bisexuality.

I mean, in practice I used a dating website, which implicitly includes the idea that everyone there for dating is there for dating, and specifies their orientation, so if you don’t have “short/long-term dating” and so on your profile, no fuck for you,

but I don’t necessarily match the patterns of other people, so this may not be actionable advice.

Anyhow, to add on to this, revealing you find someone hot when you’re attempting to extract resources or in a high-stakes …relationship negotiation? …hurts your bargaining position.

At least, you can still get away with pretending that you have to be won over (and showered in all the resources that “winning over”) requires, so long as there are more incoming proposals than outgoing ones, such that the norm is they have to approach you if they find you hot.

As the sex ratio changes, this becomes less and less feasible.

Since I expect a decent-sized chunk of people (3-5%) to “exit” from being male (as we know it) once the technology improves, that throws the bargaining out of whack, as does bisexuality, which means you’re competing with more people for a higher virtual gender ratio… or something.  Naturally, once being a sex is more voluntary, what being that sex means changes as well.

I was thinking more along the lines of Alan Greenspan.

While Bereton and Yu argue that Mitigated Chaos was an alias of one of several other figures in the Post-Neoreactionary movement that emerged early in the 2030s, and Harvey argues that Mitigated Chaos was a joint project between several authors, we demonstrate using reverse textual analysis and schedule modelling based on post timing and employment records that the true identity of Mitigated Chaos was Robin Lo, a DMV clerk located in Oklahoma City at the time of the Second American Revolution.

We dispute the arguments in Levy (2078) that Mitigated Chaos was the original name of the highly obscure VR film author “Destiny Playwright.”

Don’t get too excited, bro.

A lot of my thinking on what counts as actually-degenerate now, vs what could count as that in the future, depends significantly on available medical and legal technology.

  • Keeping birthrates steady is key in a society where lifespan has not been radically extended.
  • The lack of artificial wombs makes it far more difficult for the state to, if necessary, raise children to make up for population shortfalls.
  • STDs still exist, some of them are becoming antibiotic-resistant, some of them are permanent.
  • Most radical body modifications just aren’t feasible right now without dramatically risking the health of the subject.
  • Difficult-to-impossible for most people to exit their sexuality means that most people are locked in as heteros so gender ratios matter a lot.
  • Difficult-to-impossible for most people to remain young in appearance, and healthy beyond current healthspans.  Long-term irreparable deterioration inevitable.
  • Cannot adequately repair DNA damage accrued through having children while of too great a genetic similarity.
  • Heritable diseases largely incurable, cannot be simply edited out.
  • Can’t repair brain damage beyond some minimum natural level at current tech level, including psychologically-induced trauma.
  • Can’t repair limbs effectively, replacement prosthetics are of substandard performance.

I’m not against a future of immortal cyborg mermaids polyamorously dating cyborg vampires while engaging in extreme Martian exosports per se, but I am against picking the policies that make sense for that future long before they make sense for our present moment.

Misc SF Moral Ideas

Here, did you want some background ideas for you science fiction?  In-universe, violating some of these could be considered morally unthinkable.

  • Abortion is banned, but everyone is born naturally sterile unless they get a procedure to allow them to have children.
  • Meat-eating from animals is banned except for a few “traditional” cultures.  This actually includes the Amish and a few "historical,” pasture-based farms.  Everyone just eats engineered meat grown in tubes instead. 
  • Similarly, aside from a handful of traditional farms, the vast majority of milk products are created using tissue engineering and modified bacteria due to perceived animal consent issues.
  • Predator-prey relationships still exist in nature, but prey animals have been genetically modified to lose awareness after sustaining a sufficient level of injury.
  • Prison is considered cruel and inhumane.  Instead, convicted criminals are fitted with internal cybernetic restraints that are monitored by AIs and physically prevent them from engaging in certain actions.  (Alternatively, it weakens, dampens, and delays their motor actions.)
  • Alternatively, prison is considered cruel and inhumane, instead, convicted criminals are subjected to a regime of corporal punishment, but otherwise are allowed to roam a small, isolated town. 
  • It is unthinkable that someone would choose for their child to be monosexual instead of bi- or pansexual.  It has not yet been classified as child abuse.
  • People are almost immortal.  It turns out population explosion isn’t a risk because wanting to have lots of kids is not genetic, but primarily social.  Thus, it’s only considered a weird thing some women do.  To meet population replacement goals, most children are grown in vats and raised by the state.

Moral progress, you guys.

Honey, darling,

You’re missing like the remaining 11/12ths necessary to describe a full neurotype matrix.  I feel cheated, here.  But I guess I can’t expect people to be living in the gender world of 2052.

I’ll just take the average.

5/10 Strawberry (F)
3/10 Watermelon (A)
2/10 Cherry (M)

An interesting reading.  I have been known to describe people, gender-wise, by ratios like this.
