Why any male in his right mind would consider marriage in this country in these times is a real puzzler. And that comes from somebody who has maintained a pretty stable marriage for 47 years.0007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-11682893131325296182014-08-18T22:36:13.828-04:002014-08-18T22:36:13.828-04:00Sex is not the only frontier for these types of as...Sex is not the only frontier for these types of assault on humanity.

To my eternal good fortune, I somehow managed to meet one of the infinitessimally tiny number of women out there who are still capable of love. (In my entire life, I've met five. Three of the other four were already married to other guys when I met them.) And as soon as I could get her to agree, I married her.<br /><br />If my wife and I had never met...well, those robots would still look pretty good, compared to the prospect of tying my affairs to a normal woman of anything remotely like my own age, especially given how dangerous the modern legal system has made marriage, for men.<br /><br />Of course, the real turning point isn't a robot you can have sexual intercourse with (we've already got those, and cheaper substitutes besides, that are just as effective...and if those don't work for you, you can hire the job done on an hourly basis, with no capital expenditure required), but one you can take out socially.
